Absolutely! I use Audible.com and love the way everything loads to my ITunes app to put on the IPod.

Sorry, but I can't answer that question. I have only used the player to listen to the existing books. I am aware you can add audio books and music but not how to do it. I asked the manufactures of this product several questions and one if them was "Can I add books and Music and delete existing ones and they said YES!. I have not yet pursued that but I did find the people at Library of Classics to be very helpful on 3 occasions that I spoke with them. I suggest you contact them by way of email at--- info@libraryoftheclassics.com for the answer to your question. They are most friendly and easy to correspond with via email.

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!

The audio is stored on the device in a wav format so anything you can do with such a file can be done with the audio on the device. Short answer Yes.

Try a public library website. Cuyahoga County in Cleveland and Fairfax County in Northern Virginia both allow patrons to download audiobooks through various formats. They can be loaded through Windows Media Player, although it seems very non-user friendly to me. Also, the files don't seem to hold their place. There may be commercial software to help with that process. On the Audible.com concern, maybe if we Audible.com subscribers banded together and began campaigning Sandisk to work with Audible.com to develop plug-ins, we'd get the issue solved! I sent a couple emails to Audible's technical support, and they basically said the ball's in Audible's (and my) court. Audible listeners of the forum unite!

Yes, but only downloaded through a computer with ITunes. Check out Audible app on ITunes.

With the proper application yes. As there are many providers of audio-books you would have to download the correct app to view them.

Marian, this statement is completely wrong. I Am a long time member of Audible and can download books onto my iPod. In fact Audible offer a large discount off an Apple player as a promotion to get you to join. Audible works seamlessly with iTunes.

I don't use mine for audio books but my husband does and he says yes...it does. Please note though....he uses his primarily for audio books and the unit died after about 6 months of use. I have the same player in a different color and only use mine for work outs and mine is still working. I don't know if it was because you have it on such a long time when you are listening to audio books versus music or not.

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

Hi,Yes you can definitely listen to podcasts. Audiobooks are also an option to listen to on an iPod shuffle.Underwater Audio Customer Service

I''m using just for listening to music, but sound is great, that''s why I think you can use it for audio books also.

I have not used it with audio books but I have for other audio, like music and video..... and it does enhance the sound a great deal.

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.

Hi Jayne, I have not used for audio books but, I have downloaded audio lectures and bible studies, so I would think there would be no problemKathy

I don't know why not. This is a click-and-drag kind of deal, so I can imagine you could load whatever you like. I have other mp3 players which I am happy with, but this one makes it easy to delete/add selectively, rather than adding a whole playlist at a time. You should have no trouble with your books and 4g for this price is a great deal. Hope this helps.
