...works well enough but as I said in a previous post, the battery usually does not last long enough to play an entire book thru w/o a re-charge...and it does not play while on charge, so when it dies you need to take a break and feed it more electrons...

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.

Disclaimer: I have yet to test it since I have recently found my Clip+. I've rarely used it for audiobooks, but preliminary inspection (from review videos) leads me to believe that the firmware hasn't changed so you may not expect any improvements to audiobook playback.Joshua Bean's comment seems to provide more insight than I.

Beast, love how you say that. Audio books work very well for me. Good features; pick up where you left off, option to speed up or slow down the speed up the audio. Just awesome. As you know you have to find some way of downloading the audio book (i used youtube). I dnt knw about audible and this player mixing

Yes, The built in speakers are fine to listen to reading of the Holy Bible on CD's. This is how we use this player.Bob D.

I have listened to many audiobooks, some of them quite large. I only do one at a time, with no music.

Audio is good for a computer, if you want a deeper better sound speakers would be better.

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.

I purchased this for my wife for audio books-- it works great. I am not sure what the MP3- CD format is we buy the books on tape and it works.

I use my mp3 for audio books . I have yet to fill it up. I have put 5 or 6 books on it. Each of the books average 8 to 14 hours. Good Luck. Sue

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).

Depends on what you are playing. I mostly listen to audio books and it is just fine for that...but Pono it is not! I noticed yesterday that Philips has some new ones out...haven't tried those yet, but they might be better. I really do like the sound quality of mine, however.

If you get your audio files in one of the file types this can play, it will work great. If you need, you can always get a free converter and (once you've purchased your title) you can convert to a playable format and transfer it then. We use these in a reading station for 1st graders, but are playing the read-along recording in MP3.

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