Can i use it with audio books?. I have a hearing problem and I thinks this could give me better clarity..

Absolutely, the reason for my purchase was for my father-in-law who wears hearing aids. The volume output on the Kindle was not sufficient nor clear enough for him to hear.

Hi, I used it with audio books. It didn't increase the volume dramatically. I still had issues with volume while driving at highway speeds. This is going to sound a little weird but I was able to hear with the speaker secured with my bra strap. The speaker was then close enough to my ear. I don't have hearing problems.

I have not used it with audio books but I have for other audio, like music and video..... and it does enhance the sound a great deal.

Yes indeed. That's why we purchased this for my wife. She uses it in her car to listen to audio books on her Kindle Fire, and she reports that it is the best mini speaker she has used and allows her to easily listen while driving even with the windshield wipers, heater etc. running.

I use mine with my Kindle and works great, It is loud and seems to stay charged for quite awhile.

Yes I have used it with audible application for audio books. It helps but is not as loud as the videos. I think that is a function of the software written. Any sound out of the Kindle Fire works with this device. Anything that you would hook to ear phones will work with this speaker.

yes however please understand this unit does not have a volume control. the volume is controlled from the unit that you plug it into. having said that i use it with my mp3 player and it works just fine. i use this player for audio books only.

A fellow audiobook lover, yes it can be used to listen to audio books that's why I bought mine. The volume level on some of these tablets is not very good but with the ihome mini speaker it really did boost the volume, I find myself turning it down. I can literally listen to my audiobooks and hear them being read all over the house. If you're on the fence about purchasing go ahead and purchase I think you wil be pleasantly surprised, and if not return it Amazon makes returns very easy.

Hi, I used it with audio books. It didn't increase the volume dramatically. But you can locate it closer to your ear which helps.

Sorry, but I can't answer that question. I have only used the player to listen to the existing books. I am aware you can add audio books and music but not how to do it. I asked the manufactures of this product several questions and one if them was "Can I add books and Music and delete existing ones and they said YES!. I have not yet pursued that but I did find the people at Library of Classics to be very helpful on 3 occasions that I spoke with them. I suggest you contact them by way of email at--- info@libraryoftheclassics.com for the answer to your question. They are most friendly and easy to correspond with via email.

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.

I also wanted to use it with headphones but it doesn't seem to have that function. The place by the volume control is to plug a mp3 player into (input but not output), so I guess that you can't use headphone with this product (bummer).

You would have to put in ear plugs into your ears to probably listen to an audiobook...as there is quite a bit of "water" noise around your ears.........worth a try I guess.

Yes you can. Just make sure you get the same Clarity Number. Clarity is a great system for people with hearing problems.

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

Yes, you can listen to music while reading a book or browsing - hope that helps!

I often listen to my iPhone play audiobooks while it is connected and charging. Ditto with reading Kindle books on my iPad. I would THINK it would work for you.

I have this and I am legally blind but can see a little up close. I was able to see this when I enlarged fonts. As far as I see...NO AUDIO. I hope I am right. I don't see a way to attach earphones either. WHY DON'T YOU DOWNLOAD A BIBLE ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR COMPUTER OR TABLET??? My 7" tablet has audio KJV on it. I love it. You can listen! But you may enjoy this. Look further & maybe newer ones have audio?

Hello, I did not try it specifically for audio books. It should work any mp3 or wma file.

It should work for this. I haven't tried audio only, but technically speaking this should work.

I sure wish someone would answer your question. I have low vision and wondered the same thing...could I use this product to read a book? Hope someone reads this and responds.

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

I don't use mine for audio books but my husband does and he says yes...it does. Please note though....he uses his primarily for audio books and the unit died after about 6 months of use. I have the same player in a different color and only use mine for work outs and mine is still working. I don't know if it was because you have it on such a long time when you are listening to audio books versus music or not.

As I am not aware of what 'audiobook editing' is, though I can guess and have looked it up, I would say they would be good for this. They block out most external sounds very well, and they are extremely comfortable. I don't like anything IN my ears and I use these to go to sleep at night listening to meditation CDs. I wore out my first pair so got a second one! That is how good I think they are! Hope that helps. I do see from another answer that someone does understand what you need. So I guess if I were going to choose, I would take their advice instead of mine!

I sent it back. As soon as I realized it was not compatible with Audible books, I got really mad and then I returned it. Sorry I don't know about games.
