True, but it depends on why you needed/wanted to "rewind".

If you wanted to go back an review a particular passage, say some mention of someone passing by a window and 2 pages or several minutes later you find you've forgotten who it was, it can be much easier to do with an ebook or paper book.

If, on the other hand, you just need to rewind a bit to pickup up reading/listening after some interruption, it is just as easy with an audiobook as a print or e book, given that you are using a decent well designed player.
