is there an audiobook folder?

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

Yes, but I caution you. This device is not easily navigated. With music, once the device has played a song, you have to go all the way back to the main menu to get back to the songlist. The swipe feature is ULTRA sensitive. I'd get it set up and it would jump 3 songs just putting it in my pocket!! Extremely frustrating!

Yes there is, but it very difficult and the chapters jump. I gave up after a few month, because I could not get any help from sandisc.I then bought a iPod and that works over iTunes like a charme.

It only takes ITunes material. I do not know if you can obtain an audible book.

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

You don't have to, but the zen is basically supposed to reiterate those into folders within the player. From my experience, this doesn't always work, it's supposed to, however.

You can program the audio book to go forward or backward in chapter mode or you can turn that off and go forward or backward as you wish. Most books are downloaded in segments so it is easy to start any where you want. Hope this helped.

I have never tried a Audio Book but if You have space in the music section then try that.

As I recall it was audible. Threw mine away ages ago and got a little Duraflame for $50.

Overdrive has books in MP3 and Secure WMA format. This player will play either one. I have used both many, many times.

you can listen to audio books IF you burn them to disk first in an mp3 format. if you wish to read each chapter individually, I would suggest that you convert each chapter to mp3 format, so that they become their own mp3/track.That way you can skip previous chapters to catch up to where you are in the book.

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

The only way you could do that would be this: When you're through listening to your audiobook for the moment, simply turn the player off. When you turn it back on, it will be at the exact same place you left off at. Other than that, no, you cannot pause the audiobook, play a couple of songs, then go back to the audiobook and resume where you left off at. Sorry :( Hope that helps...

I do not think you are able to download audio books on this device. What you can do is move pictures and music files on the device and download any podcasts you may want. I hope this helps.

Actually, I get around this problem by using an Open Source program called "Audiobook cutter" to split very long files into tracks of about 5 minutes in length. That way I can skip from track to track with one click of the 'forward' or 'backward' directional buttons. Here's a link: http://www.audiobookcutter.com/products.htmlI find the free edition perfectly adequate to my purposes, and have used it for several years -- ever since I started downloading audiobooks from our local library system's electronic resources: Library2Go and Overdrive.

I haven't tried books but I load many mp3s and it remembers where it last stoped

Yes I believe so. I've never tried it but when I plug my J3 into the computer and open it there is an Audible file folder. I think when I purchased it there may have been a free audible trial in there but that was a couple years ago.

When you plug the device into your computer, I put my folders in the folder named "Playlists." Then, when you go to play them on the device, you go to "Folder View" and scroll down to "Playlists." Your folders will be there.
