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.

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

You can download many free audiobooks in m4b format from www.gutenberg.com. iTunes imports them without any trouble and they can be downloaded to iPods from a playlist. The bookmark feature seems to work, my (20GB) iPod started up where I had left off.

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

yes you can bookmark audiobooks. This is done two ways. By default The player will remember where you left off and paused. The second way can be achieved in the menu section by hitting select. It's also the audiobooks has a handy Time elapsed counter that you can record. I have two of these devices one for me and one for my wife. It's a great device also considering that it's not lithium-ion you get a lot of hours out of it.

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.

Music from my cloud downloads perfectly to the iPod shuffle. I haven't tried it with audio books.

The book has to have the listening feature imbedded in the book. The just imitate the read function as you would on you're Kinle

You would have to put in ear plugs into your ears to probably listen to an audiobook...as there is quite a bit of "water" noise around your ears.........worth a try I guess.

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).

Sorry, I haven't tried using my equipment with audio books. Music DVDs and movies are great with it.

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 cannot download directly from the cloud; it does not, as far as I know, have Internet/signal connectivity capability (an advantage for me). You have to use something to transfer the files to the device. It definitely can store an audio book. I have stored several podcasts, books, and music easily on the device.

I've used it to play audiobooks borrowed from the library using the Overdrive application: https://www.overdrive.com/Only works on the mp3 books and you have to use the application to loads them onto the player.
