Actually, I have a Zenstone and was looking at the larger capacity Zen model. I love the Zenstone as well.

I'm assuming the former. Are you looking for anything in particular, such as an off the shelf MP3 player or something designed specifically for the blind? How much capacity are you looking for? I personally recommend the 1GB Zen Stone from Creative. It doesn't have a display, so it's totally accessible. You can also use Windows Explorer to copy songs to it, so there's no issue with accessible software for your PC. You can play books on it from Audible.com, Overdrive.com and I assume other book providers. It costs around $35. On the downside, it only has 1GB of storage, although I heard you can get the same model in a 2GB version now. It also only supports MP3 and WMA (although not lossless WMA). I personally recommend the 1GB version, although if you can get the 2GB model, that would work too. Creative has a few MP3 players called the Zen Stone, like the Zen Stone Plus. These other players include an FM radio, a voice recorder and they come with a display. I've heard some blind people report on these lists that they've have trouble with respect to accessibility with these models and others say they haven't had any problems with them.
