However, I also found out that the resolution of screens of both these players is the same!! That means though the screen size is larger, the pixel count is the same, resulting in a poorer than iPod clarity for the Zune. Wonder what that will do in the market!

Steve Potash, the president of OverDrive, Inc., has gone to their factories in Singapore to lay out the needs of the the audiobook listener--bookmarking, resume and ability to keep tracks in order. Their players natively play MP3 and WMA files, which makes them superior to any iPod out there. For a no-frills audiobook player for a reasonable price, see the Creative Zen Mozaic.

The packaging doesn't target us audiobook listeners - on either MP3 players or on CD players - remember those ;-)? I still listen to lots on a portable CD player - and am pretty rough on them. They are almost archaic technology now, and very hard to find ones that remember your spot when turned off1 Boy, don’t I wish there was a way to figure out exactly the audiobook friendly features on units!

What if I want to listen to some music and then go back to my book? I'd like to be able to mark a place in each book I'm reading and then come back to that place... It looks like Creative and Cowan players tend to have that capability, but boy it's tough to figure it out since the marketing info on each product doesn't usually include that kind of detail.
