Is this a decent unit for audiobooks?

Since you can have various playlists and not shuffle, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be.

Yes, if it the app is installed on a Bluetooth-enabled device. However, it is not compatible with surround sound, so music generally does not sound very good. Its sound is fine for audiobooks but not music.

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!).

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

Hello, I did not try it specifically for audio books. It should work any mp3 or wma file.

Sorry, I haven't tried using my equipment with audio books. Music DVDs and movies are great with it.

Absolutely, this is a great microphone set for book narrations. I use this myself for narrations and music creations. Enjoy and have fun!

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.

Haven't used the shuffle for audiobooks but should work fine. Just don't try to load the entire Library of Congress.

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!

YES Perfectly....that is what I bought mine for ....I use it mostly for audio books ......it amplifies the sound and gives a nice ear feel.

This is perfect for audiobooks. Always get the largest GB you can afford or just buy the 4 GB and purchase up to a 32 GB micro SD memory card for it. You'll be amazed how many books you can store on it. I usually download mine from our local public library.

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.

I'm sorry I've not figured that out either. I bought it for my Mother to listen to audio books but it just didn't work fot that purpose. Was very disappointed.
