[Publib] digital audio player recommendations?

[Julie Bauer]

I have a Creative Zen Nano Plus which works pretty
well and is relatively cheap (about $70 on Amazon) and
adorably tiny.  I hear that Samsung's players are very
good, but more expensive.

Bear in mind that these players are really built for
listening to music, and they don't have features that
would be useful for audiobooks.  For example, my
player automatically bookmarks where I left off, which
is great -- but if I have two books, I can't leave a
bookmark in each one (or if I can, I haven't figured
out how.)  If anyone knows, please respond off list!
