Compatible with NetLibrary? I thought this was supposed to be compatible with NetLibrary audiobooks, but an error message tells me that it might not be. Any experiences? TIA!

It is compatible with Netlibrary. Make sure you can play the audio file on your computer before you transfer the audio though. Netlibrary waits to send you the license file until after you try to play it.

Now I just wish that it would continue to play after I change the battery. I couldn't get it to continue from where I left off, and it told me that I had to sync to continue. But the NetLibrary license only allows 1 transfer, at least as far as I understand the terms.Anyone found a way around that?

NetLibrary actually allows three transfers of an audiobook file. You can look to see how many are remaining by viewing Properties then Media Usage Rights in Media Player.

@John...sorry, but I don't know which one you have...the Nook or the Kindle? Since the forum is for the Nook, I guess that's what you have. I'm very interested in buying one and would like to know which one you're having trouble with. Also, did you get the problem fixed or did you purchase a new one? Thank you in advance for your input...I appreciate it!

I've never downloaded audiobooks before, but I think it should work. It is a regular ipod, if you can download it you can play it.

Connect to your computer and download the book audio (that has to be loaded per book you purchase for it from the "leap frog connect" program that you will be prompted to download when you connect the device to the computer. The sample book that comes with the reader is the only one that comes pre-loaded in the reader. The rest of the audio has to be downloaded through that "connect" program. If the sample book doesn't work, it may be defective, but try hooking it up to the computer with the provided USB cable before trying to return the item. Hope this helps. My son hooked it up for my granddaughter and I asked him how he did it. Hers works great.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

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!

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

Many thanks. From experiences with audible I know Nero software (which comes with the drive) is more than difficult. Using James's advice yielded excellent results.

It works great, but there's a huge learning curve. For one thing, the device wants to put the audiobook into the Music file, which will then play the chapters out of order. You will need to manually change that. Be sure to call Sansa Support for help. Once you get it all figured out, you will be very happy with it. I also bought a small speaker so I can take my books into the house with me and listen to them there as well as in the car.

I sent it back. As soon as I realized it was not compatible with Audible books, I got really mad and then I returned it. Sorry I don't know about games.

I believe as long as the ebooks are epub, you should be able to side load them to your nook or side load them to an sd card. I have done that with my Sony, Kobo & Smashwords ebooks. I used to have a Sony ereader, and when I switched to nook, I downloaded the Sony ebooks to my computer, hooked up my nook to the computer, and dragged the ebook files to an SD card that I had loaded on my nook. Same with my Kobo & Smashword ebooks. Another option would be to see if there is a BooksAMillion app in the google play store. You could load the app on your nook, sign in to your BooksAMillion account on the app, and your library will show up within the app. I also just went to the BooksAMillion website and it appears that they used to sell Nook devices on their site, so I'm sure that would indicate it is compatible. Hope these suggestions are helpful and you can always visit a Barnes & Noble store Nook counter and the sales staff can assist you with any questions.

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.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

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

Sorry...I can't help you there..only use it with my Ipod Touch skiing. I'm sure it would work great with Audiobooks...great sound quality, and only $25!, I've tried other speakers (Sony, JVC, ), Altec Lansing is the "most bang for the buck"...I would recommend it all day long
