no. it is terrible for listening to audiobooks. it does not save your place. there is no setting to save your place. if you label the audio file as an audiobook it doesn't save your position then, either. i was very disappointed with this because i listen to a lot of audiobooks.

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.

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

You can buy them from Amazon, or check your local library's website. Our library lets you check out audio books online and download them to your computer. The lending period is 2 weeks. During that time, you can also transfer the audio book to your MP3 player. It works great with audio books because it starts up right where you left off. If you want to play music in between listening to books, you can use the bookmark feature.

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.

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

Exactly the CD player is what I meant to say, thanks. I like to listen to audio books but sometimes after a couple of hours of listening or if I leave it paused for to long it shuts off and feels quite warm to the touch. :(

Yeah they do. Not entirely, but most of it. Any audio book or song will be perfectly hearable with the proper volume

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.
