I haven't tried audio books on it, just music but audio books are trickier. They have to be in a compatible format and there is more than one. Sometimes I can't use audio books from the public library because of the format. If you are trying to do Kindle, you may need to get an APP. I am surprised at the poor response from Audible. I have usually had good luck with them. Maybe the techs from Pyle can help you find out which audio book format you need to put them on the player or if it is possible at all. Good luck.

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.

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

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

i listened audiobooks too, but when I add musics and deleted audiobook, since then voice over does NOT WORK. i don`t know why and what to do know. maybe I accidentally changed something in i tunes settings.

Did you ever solve this problem...mine does the same thing and it makes listening to audio books so hard to do. If not...can you recommend a MP3 that does not do this.

I used an external speaker system. Then I got the google cromecast gadget. But now I am not i.nterested in messing with that and just watch netflix on my computer.

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.

I also updated my firmware, thanks for the information. I get books thru OverDrive media from the local library. These automatically download into the music folder. How can I get them to download into the audiobooks folder? I've tried moving the folders on the computer and it shows that they have been moved to audiobook folder, but when I disconnect the clip, the audiobook folder is empty and the audiobooks are still in the music folder. Thanks for any help. I have Windows Vista, media player 11 and sandisk sansa clip 4gb.

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

No, the cowon X9 is not recognized as a valid device by the audible manager and the last I heard Cowon was not going to get it validated. I had to buy a SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 8 GB that I use to play audible books.

I don't use mine for audio books but my husband does and he says yes...it does. Please note though....he uses his primarily for audio books and the unit died after about 6 months of use. I have the same player in a different color and only use mine for work outs and mine is still working. I don't know if it was because you have it on such a long time when you are listening to audio books versus music or not.

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...

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

I've transferred podcasts from iTune and it works great, I think it would work the same way with audiobooks.Just so you know, I don't think it can connect directly to iTunes, you would have to find the audiobook file in the file system and then transfer it to the player if you have a Mac you can right click the file in iTunes and select "Show In Finder". Also note that it seems like it has a difficulty loaded large files, it works but i suggest to split the large file to multiple small ones. Enjoy,N

I don't use proprietary software. Under win7 and win 8.1 it is automatically USB recognised and I simply drag and drop MP3 songs and audiobooks. Best solution I have found for simple audiobooks when walking. Tried phone/ipod/iriver and others.... sansa wins hands down. Cheers. P.S. This is my 3rd in 5 years.
