I put MP3 music on mine using computer USB. If your books are in the correct format, I see no reason why you couldn't copy to the Pyle. iTunes are MP4 format, I use a free converter to get them to MP3 and works great. The Pyle player is the most amazing thing when swimming - you will love it!

Well it plays blu ray and dvd movies as well as music CDs. So it should be able to play audio books on a cd disc but if your asking if you can read books on the funai player the answer is no. Hope this helps.

Yes you can listen to audio books. I would suggest making it a playlist so you can find it if you have other play lists loaded.

Won't play Audible books nor WMA books. For MP3 books, it puts files in order of A1, A10 - 19, then A2, A20-A29! A disappointment! Back to the SanDisk Clip.

Depends upon what you mean. I have listened to audio books that I have downloaded from my local library on the Electorhome and they sound just fine. However I did need to copy the files to the player (this is as easy as copying files from one directory to another in windows). The player does not, as far as I know, have built in support for things like Audible like some more expensive players. Also, the player does not have the ability to play books at various speeds - which is a feature I would dearly love to have when listening to audiobooks. That said - for the money you get a very good player for audiobooks. Depends upon what you mean.

Marian, you are wrong. I second Flora's comment: Audible audiobook are natively supported by iPods. Audible support is explicitly listed in iPod tech specs!

I am an Audible user so have no idea about the Overdrive books, but if you convert them to mp3 they will play. Restarting from where it was turned off at, most of the time...the rest of the time, the battery dies....

I am going to stand up for Marian, yes Audible can use the iPod, but your local public library probably offers a service called Overdrive (which is free with you library card compared to paying for Audible.com) that allows users to download audio books free of charge, but due to software issues they cannot be played on an iPod.

I believe that it does. I used audible files in the past before they were bought by amazon. Amazon is a bit DRM-crazy, so I would not be shocked if audible files no longer played easily on a cowon x-9. Edins' answer is probably the best one. Don't buy a sandisk player. Those things are pretty much disposable. I've had about five, they all broke or stop functioning within a year.

Not really. We tried to play several CDs with MP3 files on this product. It tried to read the CDs but could not read anything. So the product we received either was defective, or the product was not design to play MP3. We returned it a few days later.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

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

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.

I have a Philips Go Gear Vibe which I use for Audible books. I have had it for years and love it, but it has finally quit and I would really like to buy this to replace it, but can't do it if I can't listen to Audible books. Please check.
