Does it play audible books

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.

If the audio book is an mp3 file sure. If the book is not an mp3 then probably not.

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

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.

If the book is an MP3 file, it will play it, otherwise no. The MP3 function is extremely primitive compared to other dedicated MP3 players, but it does work and the sound out of this little thing is surprisingly good. What I do is use a DOS command on my PC to dump the contents of the mini SD card that contains my MP3 files so I can find a specific MP3 on the player. If you don't know the number of the file on the disk, good luck finding it. It only displays a number, no filenames.

I've used it to play audiobooks borrowed from the library using the Overdrive application: https://www.overdrive.com/Only works on the mp3 books and you have to use the application to loads them onto the player.

I do not think so, I bought it to listen to low bit-rate OTR mp3's and podcasts with. I could not get it to play those. I could only use it to play music MP3's that I ripped from cd at 128k to 320k. This also does not have an sd card slot either, but there is a different model that has that slot and it looks identical to this one. The one WITH the slot will play audiobooks, because I used to have one. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does play mp3 CDs. I play old time radio CDs that are in mp3 format on my Sony Walkman.

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.

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

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.

I have Kindle on mine, works great. Don't know about audible but I would think it would work fine.

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.

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

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 think if want to download audible files to it, you'll just have to convert it to MP3. 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.
