However as mentioned, one of the pitfalls of listening when going to bed is that you often fall asleep while the book keeps playing. So I end up backtracking a lot.
this.
One of the key advantages of an E-book is that you can snatch a few minutes of reading whenever you have time, and can easily intrupt it answer someone, or do somthing and get back to it without missing anything.
With an audiobook, what often happens is that someone tries to talk to me, out come the headphone. When I finish, spend time trying to remember where I had gotten to, scroll back, and start again.

Guess this thread is old, but it pertains to me as I have both a Sony PRS-505 I read every night; then when I wake in the middle of the night (as I always do 2 times or so) I listen to audiobooks from the Library or free audibles (from here).
My question is for anyone who has an Ipod Nano 5th Generation (or 4th is the same) how the heck does the sleep timer work? It doesn't always work, it is set, but yet I wake up 2-3 hours later and the bleeping thing is still playing. It is set for 30 minutes. The timer works for music.
