Hi
With the new victor reader stream, you can set a custom
sleep timer, perhaps 5 or 25 minutes, that may help.

I have this exact problem with Audible on my android phone.
I
bookmarkk every now and again, but I don't always remember,
and this
is coarse grained.
What's needed is to pause at the end of a page, and continue
with a
'next page' button. If you fall asleep then all you lose is
one page.
Can the mp3 file be split into page length tracks, and then
played a
track at a time om your mp3 player? This kind of thing can
be easily
done on gstreamer + Linux. Would that work for you? I might
give this
a go anyway
