That's why I prefer MP3 audiobooks that I can listen to from the Overdrive app on iOS and Android. The timer is built into the play screen. Unfortunately, only about a third of the audiobooks are in MP3.
If only there was a way to allow listening of WMAs through the app as well. The German library vendor Onleihe is working on a way to allow DRMed WMA playback from within their app this spring, so if they can make it happen, Overdrive should be able to as well!
Until then, the Clip Zip will have to do.... I gotta say, this litte thing has been playing back for the last 9 hours on the same charge - how unexpected!

Yeah the battery life is good on the zip. I listen to it for many hours during the night, sometimes I don't use the timer when I wake up in the middle of the night, it wakes me up even more to get to the timer menu! But the battery lasts so I don't worry about it anymore.
I agree about the only 1/3 books are mp3 I have listened to all they have on my Ipod touch, the sleep timer was only a click away too. I had to buy a Windows netbooks and Sansa zip to get access to the multitude of audiobooks they have only for .wma. I did try .wma on my Ipod nano, and it took way too long to convert to .aac. That was a real surprise that it is such a long process to do.
The Sansa Clip would be perfect if they would put the timer one click away instead of 10 clicks or however many there are.
As for the audiobook artwork does anyone know why it doesn't work for the .wma books?
