MP3 Player for Audio Books?

[sdzman]

My wife wants a MP3 player for her audio books. Anyone have any recommendations? I am looking for something between 4 GB - 8GB, under $100.00 and with easy uploading and PC interface.

I have a SanDisk Sansa Clip..great little unit! Mine doesn't have that much GB, but they do offer ones with those amounts. Very reasonable and easy to use, great sound, low price. I buy my audio books at audible.com and it works great.

We have 3 Sansa Fuzes. You can get them refurbished for about $40 or less, depending on how much memory you get. The really excellent thing about them is that you can add memory via microcard. I like my Fuze much better than dd's iPod, which cost three times as much and can't be expanded.

I love my Sansa clips too. I have a 2G and a 2G that takes a mini SD card so you can add as much more as you want. LOVE them both. I paid about $30 each for them off sites like Woot. I keep an eye on dealnews.com for things like that. But I think the first one I ever got we picked up at Best Buy for I think $45... that's the 2G without the mini SD slot, but either way I think you can pick one up in your price range easy!

Just another vote for the Sansa. I picked up a 8GB refurb for about $55 with shipping. And as others have mentioned it contains a port for additional memory.

FYI... the 8GB is huge... I have 25 albums on mine, some pictures of the fur babies and all three Dragon Tattoo books (each one is about 14-16 hours) on tape with plenty of room to spare.

happy shopping!

My husband loves his Sansa clip. He got his off woot dot com. I think he only paid $19.99?
I gave him a ipod, but he would rather the sansa. The ipod is in the drawer

I got an 8 gig Sansa Fuze from Costco a couple of years ago (about $80 I think). Never had a problem & it works great with audiobooks. Not all mp3 players can bookmark correctly, which is a real pain.
