I don't know about playing in a car but I have listened via Bluetooth with my Echo earbuds.
As to the second question, I see no real advantage (*) to buying audiobooks from Logos compared to a dedicated audiobook provider. Actually, I wouldn't spend money on an audiobook from Logos at all. The first issues that come to mind are that there is no sleep timer, not enough speed increments, and no chapter titles ("Episode 1" is not all that enlightening). Of course, Audible has the chapter naming problem as well for some books (for e.g., I would never get an audio Bible from Audible) but Logos seems to have it for all the audiobooks I've peeked into. (*Except for those books with audio, where you can read along while you listen, like with the ESV Bible.)
I pick up the free audiobooks from Logos but that's it; if I find the listening experience unsatisfactory, at least I have not paid for the pleasure.

Shalom Paul,
Yes, you can listen to this audio Bible by connecting your phone to your car's Bluetooth. I happen to own this resource and I can tell you that it has an organized TOC and that there are chapter titles (e.g. "Genesis 1").
My only recent experience with audio books is through the Logos Bible app and the app of the public libraries in the Netherlands. The latter app does have a sleep timer but I have never used that feature.
A disadvantage (that is not specific to the Logos app) is that I can not use Android Auto when my phone is connected to my car's Bluetooth. When I am using Android Auto then the Logos audio files will only play through the speaker of my smartphone. The text-to-speech feature however does function when using Android Auto and that is one reason why I use the read aloud feature several times every week.

As much as I like my CD set of Inspired By, I've noticed I must have picked up the audio version of the ESV Bible for free at some point, so I think I'll pass for now and save $13. 😃

FYI: The ESV Audio Bible is still available for free to everyone (note: streaming access only). There are also a few other audio resources that you can get for free: https://www.logos.com/search?query=price%3A%5B0.00%5D&sortBy=Bestselling&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=availableToMe&useFuzzySearch=false&viewMode=list&filters=resourcetype-audio_Resource%20Type

Last year, I stumbled across the Dwell Audio Bible app and I'm very satisfied with it, especially the flexibility of creating my own playlists. Before that, I really enjoyed the listen along ability of the ESV Bible in Logos. The Lexham English Bible as well, but there's no OT audio yet.
