Can I download audible

This was bought for a gift for one of my grandkids. Therefore I do not know exactly what you can and cannot do with this item. Very Sorry I can not be of anymore help.

Mine quit working after six weeks. Piece of junk Ana Amazon or Toys r Us would not refund my money. So, I don't know.

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

Bummer, I thought woot was the only place that it was a total cr@p shoot as to what you would actually get. They are even giving these things away =up to dozens at a time if you can catch the right sale. But it still holds true that you can get the V1 to play audible books.

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

I have a Philips Go Gear Vibe which I use for Audible books. I have had it for years and love it, but it has finally quit and I would really like to buy this to replace it, but can't do it if I can't listen to Audible books. Please check.

I don't use audible?, you can load mp3 audio books and they play just fine. So far the main complaint that I have about this player is the buttons are very sensitive and it's almost required to lock the controls out to listen to the whole story.

I downloaded it just because of habit. Then I just rolled back. The download wasn't necessary for me for what I wanted to do. It says it had a few minor bugs to fix like shuffling over a folder boundry or something, but I don't use that feature anyway. I believe that the firmware it ships with allows you to play audible. I have listened to a few audible books so I know it works. I have firmware 2.51.

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.

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

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.

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 use mine purely for audio books. I can download 8-10 books at a time (I am a member of audible.com). There are a few minor flaws with it, but I have worked out a few glitches. Holding down the FF or REW buttons cause it to speed up in that function. Also if you are in the chapter mode you can skip by the chapter. I have never tried it with podcasting, even though that is available through my service with audible.com. They have you register your device and then downloading is very easy, so I can't imagine that downloading a podcast would be any more complicated than a book. The only other flaw I have noticed is that when you pause it and then start it again, it skips a few seconds ahead. It doesn't do it if you pause then turn it off then turn it back on. (Pause then off is the way it will remember where you left off and when you turn it back on it will be at your stopping place ready to go again.) Hope this helps-I plan on picking another up for my kids.

This device, as far as I know, is merely an mp3 player. I'm under the impression that audible books are played through the audible application. It would appear that the answer is no, this device does not play audible books but I may very well be mistaken.The way I use this device is by loading music onto its 2 gigabyte storage drive built into it via micro USB. The built in controls allow me to play songs, skip and repeat tracks, move forward or backward through my folders/playlists, toggle shuffle and use the zappin features.I can't imagine audible working on this device at all due to its inability to wirelessly connect to anything.I hope this helps.

I am an Audible user so have no idea about the Overdrive books, but if you convert them to mp3 they will play. Restarting from where it was turned off at, most of the time...the rest of the time, the battery dies....

I have copied numerous books from CD into ITunes and then synced them to my IPod. I assume that copying Audible books is similar. Check out this page: http://www.audible.com/dc

Yes I have used it with audible application for audio books. It helps but is not as loud as the videos. I think that is a function of the software written. Any sound out of the Kindle Fire works with this device. Anything that you would hook to ear phones will work with this speaker.

As far as I know it does not, because the Audible format is DRM'd if I'm not mistaken.
