It is a Sandisk digitial audio player.
Where do I go?
What should I listen too?
Will I be more popular and trendy that I already am?
Is that possible?
Can I download audio books?
Does this thing make me look 10 pounds lighter? 
Tell us what music you already own and like, and then we can help a bit more.
Regarding audiobooks, I’m not really into them much myself, but I’ve heard that audible.com is considered the best place for mp3 audiobooks. I don’t know the brand you have, but I bet you’ll be surprised by how much it can hold. Have fun!
I don’t think Audible.com sells audio books in MP3 format.
Nope. They are compatible with some MP3 players, but I don’t see sandisk anywhere in their list, not even in the ‘popular players we don’t support yet’ section.
Not sure about anyone selling audio books in MP3 format over the net… I know books on tape can sell you an ‘MP3 disk’ book with MP3 tracks you can copy from the CD-ROM over to your player… some other publishers may do the same.
Hope this helps.
And to the OP: One thing I’d suggest straight off is learning to convert your own CD collection into MP3 format so you can listen to them on your player. That’s a good place to start.
No, but you can download and burn books onto CD. From there, I suppose you could transfer them to your MP3 player, if you wanted to go to that much trouble. (Note: I haven’t done this, so I’m not certain it would work.)
Fictionwise has some MP3 stuff you can buy and download, but it’s mostly science fiction.

Shirley Ujest:
You can download audiobooks… there are lots of them in mp3 format… I mean free illegal ones.
It seems there are even free legal ones:

Regarding those free audiobooks, it looks like the it is only free if it is really bad quality (e.g. 8 kb/sec). Audio books should be at least 48 kb/sec.
A google search for
mp3 audio book download
seems to give better results.
Santa gave me an IPOD and a whole family of spouse plus three teens to help me figure out how to manipulate this gadget. I’ve got music in my head since yesterday. Looking forward to downloading books so many thanks for the sites. Any other helpful hints would be greatly appreciate by me and my experts [who are getting tired of my gazillion "how do you do…?
Note that the iPod will play Audible.com’s audiobook format directly. You can use the iTune Music Store (open iTunes, click “Music Store,” then browse for audio books) to buy them directly and download them on your iPod.
Sometimes they even have sales for audio books – I picked up the Audible version of “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them” for $0.99 once…
Thanks for the inputs.
Music I like:
Classical
Folk
Classic Rock & Roll
Some Euro Technobeat (good to walk too.)
You are going to need a way to convert your music that you have on CD to MP3 format. cdex is awesome at doing this.
