The ZEN can do audio books, It even has software to allow you to download free books

2Gb Ipod nano, also does video.

Who are you using for audiobooks?

If Audible, Creative Zen Stone, Zen V+ or the Zen itself...

Sandisk sansa clip 2gb I think considered by audiophiles as being the best sounding little player around dirt cheap too just bought one myself cracking little thing for £27.

make sure you have windows media player 11 installed if not you'll need to turn off the player hold down the center button and plug it in whilst holding down the center button.
And theres a firmware update out for it which also requires you boot it into msc mode same way as above.
Im very happy with this player not sure if the reviews are right about it being one of the best sounding mp3 players on the market I'll take their word for it but cant go wrong for £27 I suppose.

What you definitely need is one that remembers the place when you turn it off - books are 16 hours minimum and finding the last place you were at is really annoying!

I can confirm the clip remembers

The Zen V Plus remembers where you are if you turn it off in the middle of a track that's playing, if you pause then turn it off it doesn't

The smaller Zen's might be the same I guess.
