Maybe it's easier with other genres, but with mystery and suspense, I don't know how people can give up on a book--assuming an interesting premise and a basic level of writing competence (which I assess before buying or borrowing). Seeming oddities might turn out to be hidden clues to the resolution, rather than mistakes, with a nice little payoff later. But you have to stick with it to get to that payoff.

Well, that's a difference. I have 30 books on my car iPhone (sans sim card, so it's really an iTouch) and have a a lot more on my regular iPhone (yea, there is a reason I have a 256 GB iPhone). I'm a firm believer in Napoleon's maxim "ask anything of me but time". That's the only thing in the world that I can't get more of. As I mentioned, the vast majority of audiobooks that I buy, I've already read the ebook, so I know how it turns out.
I suspect that most people are like you and that's why Audible and Apple don't support playlists for audiobooks natively.
