Hi all, my Kindle Keyboard 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) B006 (software 3.3) has really had this problem since I bought it, but I didn't know until well past the 30 day return. I have ripped many of my audiobook CD's to MP3's, and when I pause the playback on my Kindle, and it happens to go to sleep, after it wakes up it is back at the beginning of the MP3 file. In other words, it loses the place. It doesn't bookmark the location where I stopped it.

My Kindle 2nd Gen did not do this. I listened to mp3 audiobooks, and when I paused it and let it sleep, it remembered the place after it woke up.

In order for it to remember the place, I have to pause the playback, then exit out of the audiobook to the home screen. Then, when I open the audiobook back up, it has remembered the place, no matter if it went to sleep or not.

Note this is NOT Audible.com audiobooks. Has nothing to do with them, this is regular MP3's I have ripped from cd's.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my Kindle? Any old mp3 will work if you want to test it out. I hate having to remember (or wake up enough) to do the procedure to remember the bookmark, usually I forget and have to forward the book 30 seconds at a time to almost all the way to the end, which is really annoying!

Thanks,
Gina
