Does this allow for bookmarks? I listen to audio books and this is an important feature.

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.

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

I finally purchased with cowon d2 and am very happy. I listen to audiobooks on it and it can bookmark, but play the next track after the bookmarked track (extremely important).I had the creative zen for awhile and returned it as it didn't have as many features as the d2.If you have any questions about the d2, please feel free to ask.

it's pretty simple. i use mine for audio books which i download from the library. if you want audio books there is software you download called Overdrive Media. There will be a link for this at your library site. I have also transferred things from CD's. You highlight what you want and copy to the device just like you would transfer things to a flash drive. Does that answer your questions? if not, let me know and i will try and answer them.

you can listen to audio books IF you burn them to disk first in an mp3 format. if you wish to read each chapter individually, I would suggest that you convert each chapter to mp3 format, so that they become their own mp3/track.That way you can skip previous chapters to catch up to where you are in the book.

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.

Looks like it's possible. There is a bookmarks widget that has multiple sections. Hope this helps.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

Yes, it does. I first bought a 2gb Sansa Clip. I had to update the firmware to get the bookmark feature to work. This is very easy to do. The Sandisk website has an updater you can download. I recently purchased a 4gb and it came with the bookmark feature. If I'm not mistaken, only items placed in the Audiobook or Podcast folder will bookmark and you have a maximum of 10. I use my player only for audiobooks and I subscribe to a bunch of free podcasts through iTunes. I can easily listen to one podcast, pause it and then listen to something else. Then when I come back to the first podcast, I have the option to either resume playback or start from the beginning. The Sansa Clip is very easy to use. I just copy and paste my files into the folders on the player and that's it. It also works with Audible if you get books through them. And the clip itself is very handy. I usually listen when I do the housework. I don't need to have a pocket to use it. I highly recommend this player.

Yes. I found the shuffle works best when I put one playlist on it. You could load a single book the same way, just do not program it to shuffle. You want to get to the ending in the old fashioned way.

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

Yes you can, although I haven't done so yet. You can find apps for doing this at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=audio+books&c;=apps.

Yes it can rewind, or you can go back to whatever bookmarks you have entered.

Yes, it has an automatic bookmarking system. Any time you return to an audiobook or video you were previously listening to, it will ask you if you wish to resume from where you left off. It will do this for each individual file. I think you can also put down bookmarks manually in audiobooks only (but I'm not entirely sure if I remember correctly).

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.

No bookmarks unless you buy books in a proprietary format from on vendor. Plus, fast-forward works fine for MP3s, but is reportedly too slow for books. I love the View for listening to music and watching videos and movies and FM radio and recording messages, but listening to generic books-on-disk is its weak point.
