juniemarie, the tablet has Bluetooth, so you'll be able to connect Bluetooth speakers to the Fire without involving your Mac.
As for the wonky WiFi, are you downloading your audiobooks to the OverDrive app? If so, then the connectivity at least won't bother you while you're listening, as Catlady said. I don't know a reason why it's flaky, though. Is it flaky even when you're close to your router?
I'm pleased you've been bitten by the tablet bug! They are nice; easy to use, versatile and portable.
ETA: tubemonkey beat me to it!
