Is it good for listening to audio books?

The problem w this player is there's no hard off switch and button turns it on so if your not using it the battery dies quickly from being turned on easily in your pocket

no. it is terrible for listening to audiobooks. it does not save your place. there is no setting to save your place. if you label the audio file as an audiobook it doesn't save your position then, either. i was very disappointed with this because i listen to a lot of audiobooks.

I only use this device for listening purposes only, sorry I cannot answer your question.

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

I often listen to my iPhone play audiobooks while it is connected and charging. Ditto with reading Kindle books on my iPad. I would THINK it would work for you.

Yes it will play mp3 audio books.The only thing it won't do is save your place in the middle of a chapter, so you will have to skip to the beginning of the last chapter you left off at. Otherwise, as long as what you are listening to is mp3 format, you can listen to just about anything. the player also plays regular cds:) Enjoy!

Yes I have used it with audible application for audio books. It helps but is not as loud as the videos. I think that is a function of the software written. Any sound out of the Kindle Fire works with this device. Anything that you would hook to ear phones will work with this speaker.

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 listen to music while reading a book or browsing - hope that helps!

I download audiobooks from my library through Overdrive so I can listen to protected wma files. I can also listen to audible and standard mp3.

You should be able to listen to radio or podcasts or from your music library. I have an android and an iPhone and both work well with this device. I hope this helps.

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

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.

Absolutely! That is what I mostly use it for. And when you want to listen to music it does not disappoint. It is great for both.

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.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

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
