What type of MP3 player is good with audiobooks. This one??

This MP3 player sucks. I use it for working out and I still hate it. Get a Sansa if you're looking for a cheap MP3 player that will play audiobooks.

I'm not sure. This MP3 player only worked for about a month for me. I don't recommend it.

I don't use audible?, you can load mp3 audio books and they play just fine. So far the main complaint that I have about this player is the buttons are very sensitive and it's almost required to lock the controls out to listen to the whole story.

I don't really know. I was so disappointed that it wouldn't play WMA books (which is my major use of the device) that I put it on the shelf and purchased a more expensive SanDisk 4GB clip zip player which plays WMA, MP3, and other formats. I've had generally good experience with SanDisk; so I coughed up a few more dollars. I really was disappointed in the Electrohome player.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

Sorry David, We do not use MP3 player. We only use CD's. The CD player exceeds our expectations. Bob D.

Disclaimer: I have yet to test it since I have recently found my Clip+. I've rarely used it for audiobooks, but preliminary inspection (from review videos) leads me to believe that the firmware hasn't changed so you may not expect any improvements to audiobook playback.Joshua Bean's comment seems to provide more insight than I.

Not sure Carolyn..only using for music. Bluetooth works great. Never thought of audio books.. Bru

I'm not really sure about MP3 players. I used mine with an iPod and iPad mini and it worked okay for the price

Sorry...I can't help you there..only use it with my Ipod Touch skiing. I'm sure it would work great with Audiobooks...great sound quality, and only $25!, I've tried other speakers (Sony, JVC, ), Altec Lansing is the "most bang for the buck"...I would recommend it all day long

Buy a Clip Zip. This player doesn't do chapterization properly, the fast forward and rewind are annoyingly slow, and for regular mp3 books the player will not resume at the last played file.

Yes, this MP3 player will play audio books, it can hold ebooks as well. The best way to upload files from your computer to this device is to use real player. You can convert audio and music files easily and it will download your files automatically when you plug the device in to your computer.

This device, as far as I know, is merely an mp3 player. I'm under the impression that audible books are played through the audible application. It would appear that the answer is no, this device does not play audible books but I may very well be mistaken.The way I use this device is by loading music onto its 2 gigabyte storage drive built into it via micro USB. The built in controls allow me to play songs, skip and repeat tracks, move forward or backward through my folders/playlists, toggle shuffle and use the zappin features.I can't imagine audible working on this device at all due to its inability to wirelessly connect to anything.I hope this helps.

Sorry. I was never able to get it to do much, but I'm sure it would do books. I love their older MP3 players. Especially the Creative Zen.

(It's about a year since this was posted, but I thought someone might find this useful.)I have a SanDisk Sansa m240 1gb. I really like the player because of the easy-to-usecontrols and the replaceable single AAA battery (I use a rechargeable NiMh battery).BUT the voice recorder has a flaw. About every 10 seconds it skips about 1/8 of a second.For an every-day memo this isn't much of a problem. But I've recorded lectures and listeningto it afterwards gets to be very annoying.

I think if want to download audible files to it, you'll just have to convert it to MP3. Hope this helps!

It depends on the format of the Audio book. The "SanDisk Sansa Clip+" supports MP3, WMA, Secure WMA, Audiobooks, Ogg Vorbis, as well as FLAC formats. And I know that the Overdrive audio books, come in MP3, WMA, formats as well.

I'm very new to these devices, but I sure like the price for this one. Here's my problem: I'm disabled and the click buttons would be a huge problem for me if they are too stiff and hard for me to click. Also wondering about using it for both music and audiobooks, sounds like audiobooks are problematic, and expensive earbuds might be necessary. Help, anyone? Thanks.
