Maybe! You need to know what format your audiobook is in. A true audiobook will have an extension of ".m4b" which I have not tested. This is a special "flavor" of the mpeg-4 standard. It has samples of James Patterson's books, which are in the mp3 format that it will play. So if your audiobook is in the mp3 format it will play. It does also play e-books, which are not the same thing.

Honestly I became so discouraged about the poor music fidelity I put the Coby aside and have yet to get back to it.

I dont know for sure. Have you tried to download one onto your coby player? iI gave the player as a gift and she loves it! She uses it for music though.

I'm not familiar with any specialty audio book formats, but as long as it's in a standard audio format like mp3, it'll play. There's no specific audiobook section on the menu.

Sure you can. I read my kindle books all the time. When you buy it and log into your account you books will automatically download to this device.

The Irulu will play mp3's. As far as mp3 books, i have some audio books in mp3 format that play just fine. I also have the app audible installed and it works just fine.Hope this helps.

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

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

Mark, I am sorry but I don't know. I never put an audio book on it. FYI it holds over 200 mp3 format songs. One thing I don't like about it is shuffle play does not work, even when the shuffle mode is activated. I hope this helps.

you can listen to audio books IF you burn them to disk first in an mp3 format. if you wish to read each chapter individually, I would suggest that you convert each chapter to mp3 format, so that they become their own mp3/track.That way you can skip previous chapters to catch up to where you are in the book.

You can program the audio book to go forward or backward in chapter mode or you can turn that off and go forward or backward as you wish. Most books are downloaded in segments so it is easy to start any where you want. Hope this helped.

Yes, if it the app is installed on a Bluetooth-enabled device. However, it is not compatible with surround sound, so music generally does not sound very good. Its sound is fine for audiobooks but not music.

If the audio book is MP3 format, it works. If need be, the file names can be changed to play in order. Just put the numbers 01, 02, ...10, 11 in front of the files and they will play in that order. If you have fewer than 10 chapters, the leading zero is not needed.

Yes, I bought this player to listen to audiobooks which I borrow from a couple of different public libraries. There is room for 10 bookmarks, so I can keep up with several different books or different sections of the same book.

I don't have an audio book on mine yet, but for a song, there is a play speed option when you hold down the right side of the screen for an extra 2 seconds. It can be set to 0(default), 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Not sure what speeds they correspond to. Since audio books are part of the Music library options, I would guess this option is also available for audio books. I have firm-ware version 2.01US, so you might have to upgrade if your player has an older firmware. I didn't remember seeing the audio books option in the earlier firmware.

From ehow.com Sony Walkman can play any audio file formatted in MP3, WMA, AAC or WAV format. The Walkman can play different types of audio including music, podcasts and audio books. Audio books are commonly formatted in MP3, WMA and AAC formats. The Walkman, however, doesn't have a specific folder for storing audio books as it does for podcasts. Instead, audio books have to share a folder with regular music files. Difficulty:Easy Instructions Things You'll Need *USB cable Suggest Edits 1 Connect the Sony Walkman to the computer using its USB cable. 2 Click on the desktop "Start" button. Then choose the "Computer" or "My Computer" folder. Notice the drive folder labeled "Removable Disk" or "Walkman" located within. 3 Double-click to open the Sony Walkman drive folder. Notice the MUSIC folder inside. 4 Drag the audio book saved on your computer and drop it into the "MUSIC" folder located within the Sony Walkman drive folder. Once all audio books have been transferred to the MUSIC folder, you can unplug the Walkman from the computer.
