I suffer from sleep anoxia which means I fall asleep without warning constantly. My solution was to break books down into smaller sized files using Goldwave. When I start to listen I check which track I'm on and that is the maximum I ever have to go back to.

In a large mp3 file it takes for ever to rewind to were one last remembers what happened. My thoughts would be, what if we had a "dead mans switch", i.e. a spring switch that one had to press to keep the book going but when you fall asleep your had relaxes and the device stops. Problem I see with this is that removing the power from an mp3 player does not necessarily make a bookmark, so we are back to square one! This would have worked with the old cassette players though. The sleep mode setting might help if set to 3 minutes but is not accurate although the "Tinytunes" sleep mode is reset if you press any key when it gives you the "Hello"before shutting down. Any thoughts??
