Is this phone compatible with Audible? How about the Overdrive Media Console at public libraries?

Yes I believe so. I've never tried it but when I plug my J3 into the computer and open it there is an Audible file folder. I think when I purchased it there may have been a free audible trial in there but that was a couple years ago.

I haven't tried audio books on it, just music but audio books are trickier. They have to be in a compatible format and there is more than one. Sometimes I can't use audio books from the public library because of the format. If you are trying to do Kindle, you may need to get an APP. I am surprised at the poor response from Audible. I have usually had good luck with them. Maybe the techs from Pyle can help you find out which audio book format you need to put them on the player or if it is possible at all. Good luck.

Yes, you can download and listen to audio books if they are in a digital format such as mp3, wma, wav, audible, etc.

I should work fine. It is just a mono phone but I listen to book on tape, music and web cconferences all based off my Galaxy S4 phone

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.

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.

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.

a prior garmin model had the option of putting music/audible on a mini card that fit in the unit. it was ok but current smart phones are far more convenient even when using an aux cord to your car stereo. for example downloading the audible and the playback off the unit was a cumbersome process. if i were you i would not hold out for this feature. it will be an expensive option and not that easy to use.

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.

Yes, all you need to do is to download the audible app in google play. so easy and sounds great

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

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.

Yes, they do play audible books, with one exception - the Version 1 Sansa e260 does not work with the audible .aa file DRM format file. If you buy new, you should get a Version 2 and those work with audible files. If you are buying used or refurbished, verify whether it is V1, V2 - or it might be the Rhapsody version. Having said that, if you are internet search savvy, you can figure out how to get the V1 to work.

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Yes it is. I transfer audio books from the OverDrive media console on almost a daily basis. Works perfectly! And in case you go over your lending time period on the books, the Sansa won't erase them automatically. That's my favorite part!

I use Aldiko to download and read my library books. I think it is a better reader than the Nook or Kindle readers. You don't really need Overdrive.
