Most if not all of the ebook readers have a very basic MP3 player. As you say, the files are pretty big so you can expect to put them on the SD cards.

That said, an iPod is a much better choice. Also, I think the only device that supports the Audible DRM (yes there are a few places other than Audible) is the Kindle. For the others you would have to do some type of CD burn/rip to get them into MP3s.

So, I would not worry about it. You can get an iPod which would be much better. There are even smaller 1GB devices you can get for under $50 that support Audible audio books.
