I know sansa supports audio books, not sure which format though. If you install rockbox, I believe it supports many formats. Will make your battery last considerably longer. It is noticable

Yes, you can download and listen to audio books if they are in a digital format such as mp3, wma, wav, audible, etc.

Absolutely. It's recognized by Audible Manager, Overdrive (Public libraries), WMA, and MP3, also music formats FLAC, Ogg Vorbis. With a good battery, you get about 15 hours on a charge, making this one of the best audiobook players out there. One design flaw compared to the older version (Sansa Clip, not "+" or "Zip") the older version would rewind from the beginning of one chapter (file) across to the end of the previous one. None of the newer Sansa players (+, Zip) seem capable of this. You have to jump to the beginning of the previous chapter and FF to its end. Not often necessary, but it seems silly they'd drop this feature. Absolutely. It's recognized by Audible Manager, Overdrive (Public libraries), WMA, and MP3, also music formats FLAC, Ogg Vorbis.

Connect the Sansa Clip Zip with a USB cable to the computer. Click Start, Computer to bring up Windows Explorer. When Clip Zip show up, select the drive and click right on "Music" and it will show all the songs that are stored in that folder. Highlight the songs and press Delete, a window will ask to confirm the Delete, choose Yes.

If you want your library synced you have to be connected to Internet through wifi. However you can always side load files if you are okay with reading offline, i.e. Transfer those ePub files through PC/Mac

Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem! Sign up for their "Ebox" and you'll get an email like this:Go to their website and download their "Firmware Updater" Then once you have that installed, switch your "USB MODE" to whichever you're not using to transfer music. Then plug it in to the computer, go to "My Computer" and right-click on "Sansa" and click "Format" THIS WILL CLEAN THE WHOLE MP3 PLAYER. Then you run the "Firmware updater" that you downloaded and it should update to the newest settings. Then just switch your "USB MODE" back and transfer music/vids/whatever.Hope this helps Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem!

Yes it is. I transfer audio books from the OverDrive media console on almost a daily basis. Works perfectly! And in case you go over your lending time period on the books, the Sansa won't erase them automatically. That's my favorite part!

I don't know why not. This is a click-and-drag kind of deal, so I can imagine you could load whatever you like. I have other mp3 players which I am happy with, but this one makes it easy to delete/add selectively, rather than adding a whole playlist at a time. You should have no trouble with your books and 4g for this price is a great deal. Hope this helps.

The review by Lynn from Texas provides insight into this. While previous models supported Digital Rights Management (DRM), this model, produced in 2012, does not. What that means is that this model will not play .wma (DRM) files that you download from your library site. While virtually all downloadable books from the library are offered in .wma (DRM) format, a good number are downloadable as .mp3 files which do not have DRM applied. When checking out your file, if you see a 'Select Format' dropdown, select it and choose ".MP3". Your player will be able to play these files. Again, older models produced before 2012 do play .wma (DRM) files and there may be some used/refurbished ones around. Otherwise, the Sansa is still a good option.

No bookmarks unless you buy books in a proprietary format from on vendor. Plus, fast-forward works fine for MP3s, but is reportedly too slow for books. I love the View for listening to music and watching videos and movies and FM radio and recording messages, but listening to generic books-on-disk is its weak point.

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.

You can use a freeware called Calibre (E-book management software) to store your library and download/upload from a PC to Nook and back. I recommend to use epub format for the books.

Yes. You will just need to install the Google Play Books app from the Play Store.

Don't know because I don't own a Sansa Radio slot card. I would ask SanDisk.

No, Itunes is incompatible with Sansa e200 series. You can add songs in either MSC mode or MTP mode. MSC mode allows you to view files on your sansa in My Computer and then drag and drop your music files. In MTP you are able to sync your music to your sansa using windows media player (version 10 or higher).

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

You cannot use the books in sony propietary formats. I suggest you try first to convert them to the EPUB format, using Calibre for example. The kobo can read EPUB and PDF.

I purchased the Sansa e280 and am attempting to load Audible books. Media Player wasn't even recognizing the player until I changed to format of the player. I am stuck however as to what to do next.
