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.
Yes, sometimes backing up on an audiobook isn't much worse than an ebook. And sometimes it is much worse, which was exactly what Tarana brought up, and which you dismissed by suggesting that she must not be using the ideal audiobook player.
