Help Another noob question - how would you get an audio book to play on the nexus?

Audio books would be good in a post op scenario where one doesn't feel up to reading, but needs both distraction and something to doze off to.

just drop it in with the rest of your music and it should show in your library.

There are several player apps that are designed for audio books. You want the ability to bookmark and return to where you left off. I like Ambling BookPlayer Pro. Also, mp3 audio books work, but DRM protected WMA books are not compatible with Android. Assuming you are in the USA, check out your local public library for downloadable ebooks and audio books; all you need is a library card.

I'm not in the USA

I downloaded Twain's Innocents Abroad as a zip file, and can't find a way to unzip it, despite also downloading Astro File Manager.

I am not sure about zip files , but you probably need to first unzip it on your PC, then copy the music file to your N7 via the USB cable. Be sure that the media is supported by Android (mp3 works). see Android Supported Media Formats | Android Developers

My audio books are stored in my music folder in subfolders for each author.
