A tiny but very portable option would be the Creative Zen Stone Mp3 player.
I no longer use this classic device but I have just checked with my
daughter and she assures me that it does retain position between
sessions of listening to an Audio Book.
You can easily navigate by folder and fast forward and rewind etc. There
is no bookmarking.
It does however also has the advantage of being an Audible registered
device so can also receive Audible download and play books in the copy
protected Audible format. This saves a lot of hassle with the need for
book conversion for playing Audible content on other mp3 devices.
I believe that although getting a bit long in the tooth you can still
get these. I believe you need the original 1GB models without any screen
for best accessibility.
When I last bought one it was £25 but ironically as it is such a popular
device generally it was retaining it price despite its age.

I understand that the machines offered by RNIB until recently were
expensive, and that some of the memory stick players don't retain their
position when switched off. I'd welcome any recommendations please.
