I'll mostly use it for Audible audiobooks, so if you have experience in that regard I would love to hear about file management, how's the actual play ability of the files and so on. Is it easy to to forward or backward an audiobook? Anything you would say to someone who has never had a Sansa mp3 player.
Thank you very much.

I've been using a Zip Clip+ 4gb (micro SD slot, blue text only display) for several years and find it excellent for my use. I thought having the slot would allow me the necessary expansion, but in fact I've found that I don't need it.
I listen to audio podcast short stories and the occasional longer work, always as MP3 files without any DRM. I make sure that the filenames all sort in alphanumeric order in the order I want to listen. I then play by selecting the Play>Folders option rather than Music or whatever. The Clip+ always remembers the file playing and the position in the file (read: auto-bookmark) when turned off so that it picks right up where I left of when I turn it on again.
With the files I use (mostly 96-128bps MP3s) the battery runtime per charge is enough to play roughly 1-1.5gb of files.
