My one complaint ont he N91 is resuming or bookmarking.
It doesn't happen.
Sure it'll resume an audible file, sure it'll start the first mp3/wma that's
in the directory/album you last played but it will not resume where you left
off last.
Untill that's sorted imho the N91 is not an mp3 player replacement.

I've just realised I have 8 months of an 18 month contract to go, so I
don't suppose I'll be changing phones any time soon. A Sim free N91
is at least 299 pounds so the Book Courier works out cheaper. I would
prefer it if the BC were smaller though, so perhaps I'll try to hold
off and see if they change it during the summer. I've sent my Ipod
off to be looked at and if it isn't too expensive I'll have it fixed
and make do with that for now. If it can't be fixed I guess I'm stuck
with listening to books on my computer for the time being!
