Hi Deb; Umm....lots of questions, will try a few; 
I preordered my 16gb VIEW after lots of research on "ipod" type devices. I wanted as much "recording space" on a device as possible, but didnt want a hard drive. Like most, I also wanted as much battery life as possible. With all these requirements, the SanDisk VIEW with it's 16g "all memory" device was exactly what I was looking for. So far I like it very much. I have already moved much of my music collection from PC to it, lots of pictures, and several video clips, all with ease.
The VIEW came with coupon to purchase audible books at half price for 3 months. I subscribed to see how I liked them. I downloaded the books from Audible onto my computer and then to my VIEW.. now I seldom listen to my music since I am always listening to the audio books! The first book I downloaded is over 21 hours (Legacy of Ashes -- about our CIA).
Even if your not comuter literate, SanDisk folks are there to support ya. I had to call them since my VIEW didnt have a detailed instruction book enclosed. Mine was so new the folks at ScanDisk were suprised I had one already. They also were unaware the insturctions were now on their web site and not in the box (Im sure this saves ScanDisk money by not having to print the instructions). As for audible, I also incountered a minor issue on the first download, but here again, the audible folks are absolutely great in helping anyway they can. Even though I havent looked specifically for Christain books on their site, I feel almost positive they would have them.
The View is "in my opinion" a very nice size unit. I was given an ipod nano, but didnt like it's square design and sold it to an office coworker for one of her kids. In my humble opinion, and after a lot of research, I wouldnt hesitate in recommending the SanDisk View. I have already bought a case for mine along with an AC/DC charger, and FM car stereo radio modulator (so you can play the device over the car radio speakers).
Anway, hope this info helps you in your quest. 1-10-08
