You should also change the file from music to audio book. This will move them from the music tab to audio books in itunes, and will also make them show up under audio books in the music app after you send them to your phone. When the app plays dedicated audio files, the control changes so you can jump forwards and backwards 15 sec. You can still use a playlist to play them if you like, but it's not necessary, they will play in order.
When the books are set up as audio books, you can also use the audible app to listen to them. They will show up under the itunes tab. Most things work, but not speed up.

Thanks for this, Tilia. It's very helpful

There isn't a properties option in iTunes 12.0.1, however I found a "Get Info" option that allows me to set the "Remember playback position".

I couldn't find this option -- looked over & over again & finally realized that the "Media Type" was actually a pull-down! I quickly changed the playlist/album to a type of audiobook and Voila! Success.
Thanks so much for the directions. I'm anxious to now download another of the audiobooks from SYNC to see how it works in the iPhone's playback.
