Is it easy to download audio books?

You cannot download them on the device itself it does not have internet capability. It the audio books are in a format it supports such as mp3 on a computer, then it is just a simple matter of plugging it in and dragging and dropping the file crom computer to the device. My daughter listens to books and podcasts on this device on her drives to and from college and she loves it.

Yes, it was easily downloaded off a mini disc. I've converted a couple cassettes to mp3 on my iPod. It's pretty easy to work.

It is possible to make an mp3 disk and play the audio ebooks on this player

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.

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

Hi,I wouldn't give up because it won't play WMA audio books as there are a lot of free programs available on the web that will convert WMA to MP3. It is an easy process and can be done in the background while you are working on other projects on the computer.ITunes and Windows Media Player will convert the files as well.There are lots of places on the net where you can download MP3 audiobooks without charge. Check out Librivox.org, gutenberg.org, and archive.org for free audiobooks.

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

it's pretty simple. i use mine for audio books which i download from the library. if you want audio books there is software you download called Overdrive Media. There will be a link for this at your library site. I have also transferred things from CD's. You highlight what you want and copy to the device just like you would transfer things to a flash drive. Does that answer your questions? if not, let me know and i will try and answer them.

All right so technically you can burn any type of file into a disc. But you can't place a link on a disc and expect it to work in your CD player. You need to download the audio book to your computer in a burnable format (mp3, wma, etc.) first. From there you can proceed to burn the book to a disc. That's the only way it'll work for you. Hope it works out!

My library uses an app called Overdrive which is a free download from Android market. It is used for both ebooks and audio books. There should be a link through your library's web page including instructions. This is needed in addition to standard formats that the library lists.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

You can download books fast, it works alright for that and I downloaded a good program 'Ambling Books' it works really easy, because the one that comes with the Zen isn't worth much, or mabe I didn't spend hours trying to figure it out.

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.
