Can you use a Kindle to download books on booksfree or other audiobook services?

Posted by Kent

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q: Can you use a Kindle to download books on booksfree or other audiobook services?

A: Currently the Kindle does not support direct downloading from any of the audiobook subscription sites we've reviewed. You can put audiobooks that you've downloaded onto your PC on the Kindle using wi-fi or USB, however. The best choice is, not surprisingly, Amazon'com's own Audible.com, which has full Kindle support for playing the Audible files. There are specific instructions for that here.

While the MP3 audiobooks from sites like Booksfree can be played on the Kindle, the Kindle's MP3 player is not very advanced, and you won't have the ability to bookmark, pause, or skip forward or back (which would be pretty frustrating).

    I would like to show some appreciation to you for bailing me out of this particular challenge. Right after checking throughout the the web and meeting solutions which were not beneficial, I was thinking my life was done. Being alive without the answers to the problems you have resolved all through your entire website is a crucial case, and the ones which may have negatively damaged my career if I hadn't encountered your site. Your actual know-how and kindness in taking care of every part was crucial. I am not sure what I would've done if I hadn't come upon such a step like this. I am able to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the professional and effective help. I will not think twice to refer your site to anyone who would need guidelines on this area.
