I'm pretty sure you can't listen to audio books on a shuffle.

1. You have no way to choose what song/file you listen to on the shuffle.
2. The shuffle will not book mark a position in a file.

Unless the two above items have changed. There is a Creative Media (I think is the brand) device similar in size/price/capaicty to the shuffle but it does have a display and allow for the above two things.

But, I do agree, a decent MP3 player is a better choice than any of the current readers for audio books.
