I use the the ?Creative Zen?. I have two of them, and I listen to audio books on them all the time. If you go through the menu while something is playing you will find the option to ?book mark?, what ever you are listening to. When you go back to the player just choose ?Book Mark? and it will start to play at the spot you have set. The other thing you can do with this player is just turn it off while your program is playing. Do not pause or anything. Just turn it off, and when you turn it back on it will start up at the spot in the program where you turned it off.

I want an MP3 player to listen to audio books and need one that will allow me to resume where I left off when I start at a later date. Do I need a player with a memory to achieve this?
