I copy all the MP3 files in a direcotry on my Rockbox enabled Nano, enabled bookmarking and I never had such a good audiobook listening experience. Thanks developers of Rockbox, it's realy great! I tried listening to audiobooks with the Apple firmware, but after charging the battery resume didn't work anymore and I have to search for where I was in the book. BTW: I boycot shops like itunes and audible forcing me to use special software and hardware.
