How is it for listening to audio books?

i Honestly think i might be its soul purpose, the voice comes int real nice, this portable audio device has a great bass sound to it which means it doesn't sound scratchy (with new batteries) when the music/ voice comes in. i would recommend for all audio uses especially Audio books :)

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

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!

yes, I listen to Audible audiobooks on mine all the time. I have at least three dozen books on it, with room for more. Love it! Just wish it had a clip to hold it to my clothes. Bought a case at Target for $15 that has a clip, so that helps.

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 think if want to download audible files to it, you'll just have to convert it to MP3. Hope this helps!

Yes, The built in speakers are fine to listen to reading of the Holy Bible on CD's. This is how we use this player.Bob D.

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.

I have not done that, but the product description says you can. I listen to the radio or my ipod on it while I sew.I was thinking of getting audio books to play (on CD), but have not done so. (No pun intended)

I don't know. I use it for audiobooks and I delete them when I have listened to them. Ann TT

I can read while my mother listens to TV wearing her headset with no issue. If she has it positioned slightly off kilter I may hear a little noise, but it isn't distracting.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

Depends on what you are playing. I mostly listen to audio books and it is just fine for that...but Pono it is not! I noticed yesterday that Philips has some new ones out...haven't tried those yet, but they might be better. I really do like the sound quality of mine, however.

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.

Disclaimer: I have yet to test it since I have recently found my Clip+. I've rarely used it for audiobooks, but preliminary inspection (from review videos) leads me to believe that the firmware hasn't changed so you may not expect any improvements to audiobook playback.Joshua Bean's comment seems to provide more insight than I.

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 often listen to my iPhone play audiobooks while it is connected and charging. Ditto with reading Kindle books on my iPad. I would THINK it would work for you.
