Beast, love how you say that. Audio books work very well for me. Good features; pick up where you left off, option to speed up or slow down the speed up the audio. Just awesome. As you know you have to find some way of downloading the audio book (i used youtube). I dnt knw about audible and this player mixing

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.

Buy a Clip Zip. This player doesn't do chapterization properly, the fast forward and rewind are annoyingly slow, and for regular mp3 books the player will not resume at the last played file.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

Yes, they do play audible books, with one exception - the Version 1 Sansa e260 does not work with the audible .aa file DRM format file. If you buy new, you should get a Version 2 and those work with audible files. If you are buying used or refurbished, verify whether it is V1, V2 - or it might be the Rhapsody version. Having said that, if you are internet search savvy, you can figure out how to get the V1 to work.

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

You could use your computer to save the audible book as an MP3 file and then load it on the T10. I use MP3 DIRECT to record audio

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.

Marian, you are wrong. I second Flora's comment: Audible audiobook are natively supported by iPods. Audible support is explicitly listed in iPod tech specs!

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.

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.

Absolutely! I use Audible.com and love the way everything loads to my ITunes app to put on the IPod.

Yes, I haven't run into any problems yet. Works with downloads from Audible among others.

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.

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.

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

I have Kindle on mine, works great. Don't know about audible but I would think it would work fine.
