Yes, that is why I bought it. Read instructions carefully to play, rewind, etc. Can't rewind between tracks. Have to start at the beginning of a track. I usually listen until I'm at the end of a track so I know where to start. I couldn't figure out way to stop and resume.

No. I bought it JUST for audiobooks, not music. It shuffles chapters, even though I have it turned to direct play. If you accidentally hit the forward or back button, forget trying to find your original place.

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.

It works just the same as an iPod. If you have bluetooth access to your stereo system or have an auxilury input, you are set. I use my iPad to play audiobooks since the iPad is so much bigger and I can get to the pause button without too much distraction.

Yes, this MP3 player will play audio books, it can hold ebooks as well. The best way to upload files from your computer to this device is to use real player. You can convert audio and music files easily and it will download your files automatically when you plug the device in to your computer.

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

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.

When it works, it does support audio. I had some issues with this after 2 weeks of use and it quit playing audio.

it works with both wav and mp3 just fine. but doesn't do M4A or M4B which are strictly apple formats.. but it has great battery life usually getting an audiobook and than some out of one charge. i generally get about 22 hours continuous out of it

Sorry this answer is a few days late. I am not sure exactly about books. However, I have copied CDs onto the iPod with no trouble. I have also downloaded files from iTunes as well as other audio files onto the iPod and they work fine. My guess is that either a CD audio book or a purely digital audio file of a book would work perfectly fine.

Yes! As the others have said this will work for recording an audio book. I was actually quite surprised when I heard how clear the sound of a recording was.

The player does work fairly well for audio books - when it works. This particular model has a long history of locking up and not being able to be fixed. Also, Sansa tech support is useless.

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.

As long as the book is an audio file yes. This can play through the car radio, anything that can be played through headphones

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.

I haven't tried it for audiobooks, but it's a rich, full-bodied sound. I can't imagine why not. Actually, I have used it to listen to internet radio (Pandora, Spotify). The announcers sound great in between songs. I don't think you could go wrong.

I believe it can work for books on cassette the same way it does it for music. Hope you will be satisfied with the results; if not, you can always delete it. Good luck!
