I use audible books on an ipod, but it isn't only ipods that play
them. The site lists compatible players. However, if you join
audible you get a free ipod shuffle - the most accessible ipod by far
because it doesn't have a screen. However, I did have some problems
with the version of the shuffle I got not keeping it's place in the
book very well, but there are newer shuffles out now which may well be
better.
Alternatively, you can play books using your computer, or burn (some
of them, depending on copyright restrictions) onto CD.
Audible customer services should be able to help you more.
Hope this helps
Emma
