I listen to audiobooks. Can you rewind? Thanks.

Yes, you could. It has next & previous track button and fwd and rewind as well.

Not easily. I listen to podcast and find the rewinding or fast forwarding process to be very clunky. Thankfully the podcast are short so re-listening to something doesn't take too much time. I would think it would be hard to listen to audio books this way.

A fellow audiobook lover, yes it can be used to listen to audio books that's why I bought mine. The volume level on some of these tablets is not very good but with the ihome mini speaker it really did boost the volume, I find myself turning it down. I can literally listen to my audiobooks and hear them being read all over the house. If you're on the fence about purchasing go ahead and purchase I think you wil be pleasantly surprised, and if not return it Amazon makes returns very easy.

I don't quite understand your ?, are you listening to MP3 books? If so I have never done so,cannot answer your ?

Yes. I found the shuffle works best when I put one playlist on it. You could load a single book the same way, just do not program it to shuffle. You want to get to the ending in the old fashioned way.

I don't think that's an adequate comparison. Audiobooks are a lot less complex, soundwise. It takes more storage to hold a 70 minutes of songs than it takes to hold 70 minutes of a person reading.

Evidently it works like this reviewer says. You press and hold to go back. If you press once and let go it rewinds to the beginning.

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

No. - If you pause a podcast, and then listen to that exact same podcast again, it will remember your place.- But, if you pause a podcast, and then go listen to another podcast, when you return to the first podcast, it will start you back at the beginning.And yes, it's amazingly hard to believe that Sony has not included this most basic of functionality, but it has not. Steer clear of this device if you want to use it to listen to podcasts and audiobooks.

Yes, you can rewind and play back just like most other audio recorders. It has the same type of functions, i.e. record, pause, play, rewind & fast forward. It also gives you a very clear audio playback for it's size.

I listened while recording, so it seems you can. But I never tried listening without recording in progress.

Yes you can skip songs. You can not rewind or forward a song. We have not downloaded any videos so I can not answer that part of the question.

I don't know. I use it for audiobooks and I delete them when I have listened to them. Ann TT

Yea, you can play back from the recorder right away. In fact playback from the recorder is the only way to use the handy index feature,which marks comments do special interest.

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).

both answers are INCORRECT - YES, you can fast-forward or rewind within a song, a podcast or a book while it's playing, press and hold the FF or RWD button, and the player will scroll within the song, not skip to the next/previous one. The screen displays the timeline only (songs) or timeline and actual time elapsed, time to go (books and podcasts.)

Disclaimer: I have yet to test it since I have recently found my Clip+. I've rarely used it for audiobooks, but preliminary inspection (from review videos) leads me to believe that the firmware hasn't changed so you may not expect any improvements to audiobook playback.Joshua Bean's comment seems to provide more insight than I.

Yes you can. I've never done it but I know many who have. A couple of the previous generations didn't remember where you paused your audiobook, which was a nuisance, but apparently the 7th Gen Nano has fixed that :)
