Hi Bonnie. I faced the same issue and took help from YouTube. There are various help videos available online for this product .

I don't have an audio book on mine yet, but for a song, there is a play speed option when you hold down the right side of the screen for an extra 2 seconds. It can be set to 0(default), 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Not sure what speeds they correspond to. Since audio books are part of the Music library options, I would guess this option is also available for audio books.I have firm-ware version 2.01US, so you might have to upgrade if your player has an older firmware. I didn't remember seeing the audio books option in the earlier firmware.

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

Ann,I had trouble getting music to download but handed it to my granddaughter and she did. I can tell you there is a delay when you press the center button to turn it on and the first time I had to play with the volume. I love mine. Hope you get it to work because I love mine for swimming! Good luck.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

It looks like you got a bad player. I picked up Goblet of Fire and it is playing great. Maybe you should see about exchanging it for a new one. Good luck.

Despite SANSA advertising differently and apparently also in contrast to earlier versions the newest version with Firmware 3.01.11A does not play audio books in an acceptable manner. You may be able to put them on your player but there is no bookmarking capability so they do not restart where you left off and the fast forward function cannot/will not skip forward more than about 5 minutes and resume play. Whats worse is the player says in its digital readout it is starting where you left off but just goes back to the beginning anyway. I contacted Sansa support about this and their response was the e280 and other players in this series weren't meant to do books but I could buy a Sansa View and it would work correctly. In my opinion, they disabled what was a functioning player with the new firmware because they brought out the new and more expensive Sansa View. If you really want this for books it isn't the right player. I am sending mine back because I bought it for the same reason.

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player

I have read so many bad reviews on this player, but it is on the NetLibrary tested list and I am trying to get set up to download and play books while I exercise. The bookmark feature seems very important. How important is it to you? How do you recharge your batterY? How do you replace your battery? How is the joystick? How difficult is setup?

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.

Hi Marilyn...I'm sorry to be completely useless with answers for this item. It was shipped to a teacher for her class and is with a new teacher now. I will try to find out but they are so busy that no-one has ever responded to my questions about this player. I hope someone else can answer for you sooner. I understand it works well but unfortunately that is all I can help you with.

I purchased the Sansa e280 and am attempting to load Audible books. Media Player wasn't even recognizing the player until I changed to format of the player. I am stuck however as to what to do next.

Neal, I am considering a purchase of the iRiver clix for audio books rather than music. Have you downloaded any books yet, and, if so, what was the outcome? Thanx!

i listened audiobooks too, but when I add musics and deleted audiobook, since then voice over does NOT WORK. i don`t know why and what to do know. maybe I accidentally changed something in i tunes settings.

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.

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