Hi Krister, You can set up Audible with your Sonos system, but you still have to use the Audible download manager and download the books onto your PC. I would suggest the simplest solution is to hook up your VictorReader Stream with a 3.5mm cable provided you are getting at least 1 Sonos Play 5 or maybe a Connect to work with an existing system you have. If you are only planning to use Play 1 and Play 3 speakers then this won't work since they don't have an input. Only the Play 5, Connect and Connect Amp have RCA inputs.
As far as using Airplay, once again you need one of the players which have the Line In. If so then you can use an Airport Express which needs to be configured a certain way and it also needs to be connected to the Ethernet port of the Sonos player with a network cable as well as the 3.5mm out of the Airport Express has to go to the Line in on a Play 5, Connect or Connect Amp. I have an Airport Express setup this way with my Connect Amp in the kitchen and it works very nicely.I also have my laptop's 3.5mm headphone jack connected to another Sonos Connect in my office so I can also play audio books on the computer and have them come through Sonos including Jaws. I find this quite handy since my laptop can sit in the office plugged in and I can take my Logitech cordless keyboard to the living room, put the computer onto my Play 5 there and have full access.

Hi there. Today i’ve looked at a sonos package and i know just about what i want in terms of equipment. Now i wonder: is it possible to play audio books through the system? If so, can it remember where i left off and pick up from there?How would i set it up so that i don’t get music tracks in the middle of an audio book, or should i just forget that idea and continue using my Victor Stream and Strratos for books and stuff? /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
