nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player

My zen mozaic works terribly for audiobooks. When I try to fast foward or rewind, even when using the "search to" utility, i get an error message and my player completely freezes.

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.

Thru tips learned here, I finally figured out the "secret." Hours of frustrating reading and trial runs later: WMA Audiobooks are not compatible with the Micro SD -- MP3 format only -- transferring from Overdrive is done outside of the Sansa Clip, direct to the Micro card -- insert the Micro (in its carrying sleeve) into the computer slot; when it is recognized by Overdrive, transfer as usual, listen by inserting the Micro into the Sansa Clip. MP3 format is a drag -- takes twice as much space as WMA, but seems to be the only game in town.

I believe that is just a audio format it will play fine Google shoes it as that. Did you read that somewhere

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

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.

Good question and I don't think I can answer it but can tell you my experience. I haven't been able to figure out how to use my Surface 2 to download books from audible.com AND upload those audiobooks to my underwater audio iPod. I have resorted to using my several years old Dell laptop just for this purpose but it's not going to last much longer and I need to try to figure out how to use my surface 2 to do this task. I don't use my iTunes account for any other purpose. But your question makes me wonder if perhaps it's not just me.

I have tried emailing with my files converted into wav format and have had no problems. Wav format files are larger then mp3.

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

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

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

I had to purchase a media converter to convert Audible books to a MP3 format.

If the audio book is an mp3 file sure. If the book is not an mp3 then probably not.

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.

I have been using River Past audio convertor for over a year now. It converts aa files to MP3, WMA WAV and others. I have had no problems listening to my audio books. It takes about 45 minutes to convert about 6 hours of aa file on a 1.8GHZ computer. First, convert the aa file to your local hard drive under a diferent file name then send the converted file to your gigabeat.You can find the software at www.riverpast.com for $29.95
