I have been using librivox.org as a source of classic books in MP3 format. Some books are better than others since the readers are volunteers and I have run into different readers for each chapter of some books. The price (free) is right and no digital rights to deal with.

Also most libraries also have books on CD and you can always rip them into MP3 format to listen to them.

I have been using the Sansa Fuze for audiobooks and it works great. I still have a zen player that would mix audiobooks with music when playing in shuffle mode. the Fuze stores the Audiobooks separately and they are easily accessible with a quick scrolling of the wheel.

I lovedthe click wheel navigation, this coming from a guy that owned an iriver 320 that had that most awful navigation ever designed by man or monkeys.

There is also the other way. Download the protected WMA and use audacity to "record" the audio book. You can then save it as MP3 or several other supported formats.

I am looking for a player onto which I can download audio books and then listen to in my car without headphones, eiter through an adapter or hard wiring, or something. I do not have an ipod or other device. So I want to get something that is good and also can be used in the car. It's a jungle out there! Help! Thanks you. KA

I'm looking for a mp3 player for an adult who is recently blind. I want them to be able to have access to free library audiobooks, and Audible audio books. I can compare lists of what MP3 players would work for both. My problem is knowing which player is easiest to navigate, use, and bookmark if you are blind.

Off the MP3 topic - most public libraries participate in the free Talking Books program for people with visual disabilities -- and can provide both the hardware and virtually any title, including magazines and audio-described videos, as well as free home delivery. At our library, the department is called Access Services -- and they go way beyond just providing audio books.
