Do you have an Ipod Nano? I keep asking and nobody has one or they don't use the sleep timer. But I got a Nano a few months ago and the sleep timer doesn't work on some of my audiobooks. It works fine when I listen to music. Anyone?

I've got the new iPod Nano, green, the one with the video camera. Had no idea that it has a sleep timer. That is great news that I plan to check out ASAP!

Five years ago, I would have agreed. Now, audiobooks are my main source of reading due to failing eyesight. I can only read in large font and landscape mode and do MR in a short period between healing from eye surgery until the retinas hemmorhage enough to begin to block the vision again and another procedure is done on the eyes. Even with the large font and landscape mode, it is difficult for me to read more than 1/2 hour or so without pain. I'm grateful to have audiobooks, but it makes me sad to think about not being able to enjoy reading anymore.
