Q: What is the best mp3 player for downloading audiobooks?
A: Good question, but first a little clarification: generally you do the actual downloading on your computer. Once you download it on to your computer, you transfer it to your MP3 player so you can listen to your audiobook on the go. Which MP3 player you need depends on the service you choose. Our comparison chart and reviews have some basic information about the players supported by each service. I've always had iPods, which are compatible with most services. Storage is a consideration, of course, but most MP3 players on the market have at least 4 gigabytes worth of storage, meaning you could store 140 hours worth of audio on them (about 20 books).
Incidentally, If you do want an MP3 player that can actually download, as well as play an audiobook, go for the iPod Touch. You can use Audible.com's iPod Touch app to download audiobooks via a wireless Internet connection, meaning you don't even need your computer to download the book. Plus it's a pretty nifty device that lets you surf the web, check email, and run a variety of other apps.
