Does it offer bookmarks for the audiobook files? And if I stop reading one day and want to listen to music instead, does it still keep my place?

Stephanie,I don't think it does bookmarks. But, yes. You can stop the book, listent music and then go back to the book. When you go back to the book, it gives you the option of resuming playback where you left off.

Yes it will book mark your audiobook , it will also keep your place for your music file or album.. I truly love this item. it is my second one, and that is only because I lost my first one.

Beast, love how you say that. Audio books work very well for me. Good features; pick up where you left off, option to speed up or slow down the speed up the audio. Just awesome. As you know you have to find some way of downloading the audio book (i used youtube). I dnt knw about audible and this player mixing

I don't know. I use it for audiobooks and I delete them when I have listened to them. Ann TT

I use my mp3 for audio books . I have yet to fill it up. I have put 5 or 6 books on it. Each of the books average 8 to 14 hours. Good Luck. Sue

Yes you can listen to audio books. I would suggest making it a playlist so you can find it if you have other play lists loaded.

It has a simple single bookmark. If I turn it off while I'm listening to a book, it will start in the same place when I turn it back on. I have lost the bookmark a few times, some times if I hit the wrong button, it's gone. One time I added some more audio files, and when I tried to play it again, the bookmark was gone. The BAD thing about using this for audio books is that the time displays a maximum of 59 minutes 59 seconds. If you get audiobooks from NetLibrary, you will want to return this thing. It also doesn't fast forward/rewind very fast for getting through hours to find your place again in a very long audio file. Its "fast forward" is for songs, which is "dog slow forward" for multiple hour-long books. I like the Sansa Express enough for other reasons that I've just decided I won't listen to any NetLibrary eAudiobooks while I own the Sansa. Overdrive and Audible formats work fine, as do MP3s I made from CDs. It's really a shame about the time display. Actually, it's NetLibrary who should be blamed for this problem, not Sandisk. Whoever decided to make a 22 hour audiobook a single file should be fired.

No. "Breakpoint" goes back to the exact point you were on when you turned off the unit. Logically, that means that there is only one point to return to, right? So that's what it's designed to do and it does it well. Important to note also that "Breakpoint" ONLY works with content on the main internal memory and NOT with the micro SD card. So if you have tons of audio books, you might want to load them onto the main memory instead of the SD. Cheers!

Yes, I bought this player to listen to audiobooks which I borrow from a couple of different public libraries. There is room for 10 bookmarks, so I can keep up with several different books or different sections of the same book.

Yes it does, II don't use them so often because I use personalized folders instead, but there are two main functions in the menu so you can use your own playlist. The first one is "Playlist" wich you can edit in your computer and then transfer it to the device And the second one is "bookmark", in this one you create your list from the files within the Walkman, no software or PC connection needed.

yes you can bookmark audiobooks. This is done two ways. By default The player will remember where you left off and paused. The second way can be achieved in the menu section by hitting select. It's also the audiobooks has a handy Time elapsed counter that you can record. I have two of these devices one for me and one for my wife. It's a great device also considering that it's not lithium-ion you get a lot of hours out of it.

No you cannot set bookmarks on this unit. The ui is pretty crappy IMO. I believe it has favorites. I've since sold mine. Not much bass

I do not think you are able to download audio books on this device. What you can do is move pictures and music files on the device and download any podcasts you may want. I hope this helps.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

Sorry, but I can't answer that question. I have only used the player to listen to the existing books. I am aware you can add audio books and music but not how to do it. I asked the manufactures of this product several questions and one if them was "Can I add books and Music and delete existing ones and they said YES!. I have not yet pursued that but I did find the people at Library of Classics to be very helpful on 3 occasions that I spoke with them. I suggest you contact them by way of email at--- info@libraryoftheclassics.com for the answer to your question. They are most friendly and easy to correspond with via email.

Each book will maintain its own bookmark upon exit. The FF-RW function works ok, the longer you hold down the button the faster it goes. Books will resume position after shutdown. I have both the Clip and ZIP, with the current firmware upgrade. I use mine exclusively for audio books.
