Is this specific to certain audiobooks?

Does this also happen if you stream the same audiobook?

It looks like it happens with any local, 1 file per chapter book. No issues while streaming or with single file chaptered books (excluding first load). File format doesn't seem to matter.

I've also observed the UI freezing when first playing any local book, so it may be related to opening new files.

Hmm, I wasn't able to reproduce this issue. Maybe you can try grabbing some sample audio files and putting them in a folder to see if it is the audio encoding?

I tried a couple of things here:
1 - Downloading some sample mp3 files directly to the phone and playing them as a book in ABS
--> Sometimes it freezes on first playing the book, no chapter issues
2 - Putting these same files in my server and downloading them through the ABS app
--> Sometimes it freezes on frist playing the book, and sometimes chapter issues as well, but not as often as with a normal book.
3 - Importing those files through my library manager (Readarr), tagging and renaming, and then importing into ABS
--> Same as 2

I'm a bit stuck on things to try here. I got it to show a "This app is not responding" message on Android and getting a log dump, by pressing everywhere while frozen. Would that be useful?

Log dump could help. I'm not sure what the issue could be.
You could try turning off battery optimization for the app
