It is kind of overkill for that purpose. You can get a cheap usb 2.0 or SD card for half the price and it would be fine for that purpose. It is like buying a Ferrari to go grocery shopping.

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

Patricia, Not sure as I only use this for downloading overdrive audiobooks from my library and they automatically get placed either in nonfiction or fiction under the genre button or in unkown. I have not created my own playlist for this. I know there is a section that stores all your songs as I have seen it on my walkman. I would suggest going somewhere that you can check this out and play with all the features for a bit in a store first such as Best where they have display units out if you can. I know Best Buy displays these sony walkman's out on dispaly. For more info check out the reviews for this on Amazon.com and Best Buy.com and you may find what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

I use my old shuffle for listening to books. It's small and cheap so I just keep it in my bag for when I need a book. In fact I have started loading only the book onto it and then when I am done with the book I loan it to a friend, ipod and all.

Maybe! You need to know what format your audiobook is in. A true audiobook will have an extension of ".m4b" which I have not tested. This is a special "flavor" of the mpeg-4 standard. It has samples of James Patterson's books, which are in the mp3 format that it will play. So if your audiobook is in the mp3 format it will play. It does also play e-books, which are not the same thing.

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.

You don't need an MP3 player...you can also download the books from your computer to a flash drive, then, plug that into the unit. It will recognize the files as long as they are in a compatible audio format such as .wma...

it should work for audio but I am not using it for books...you may want to call sans disk customer service to make certain. also I like more storage so I went with the 8 gb

I'm not familiar with any specialty audio book formats, but as long as it's in a standard audio format like mp3, it'll play. There's no specific audiobook section on the menu.

You can. If you use itunes on a computer it gives you an option for multiple speakers, so you can select whichever ones you'd like.

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.

I've never downloaded audiobooks before, but I think it should work. It is a regular ipod, if you can download it you can play it.

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!
