Worth noting that you can also buy a mains charger for the shuffles too if you don't want to be dependant on always attaching to the PC for charging. Useful if away for a few days and don't want to have to take the laptop along just to charge your player.

I might get one yet. Can you listen to a whole book over time without changing the batteries or, if not, can it save a position if you change the batteries?

The Shuffle has 2 buttons: *Slide button with 3 positions for On, Off and Shuffle. *Round button, with up/down motion for volume control, left/right for navigation control and when pressed is start/stop.
