I almost exclusively listen to audiobooks on my Clip Zip player. I rip them into OGG files as they're smaller while having the same quality as MP3 files. I use a 16GB microSD card, fill itup with about 30 audiobooks leaving some space for some music, and refill it after many months of listening. I know folks who listen to several audiobooks at a time and they really enjoy the bookmarking capabilities of the Talking MP3 Players.
