Hi Phillip, I personally feel that Rosalyns suggestion of getting one of those CD players that have the facility to mark where you left off on a book sound good. I have been checking out your query on the net and found little that was of any real usefulness.

The information will be useful to me anyway and probably to others as well.

Im not sure Philip hopefully there is someone on the list that can help? take care Rodney ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Doyle" <pdoyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 1:16 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Books on CD Thanks Roslyn and Rodney.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to return to the exact point where you finish reading after the computer has been turned off? The book might be interesting but not quite so riveting that I would want to listen to it from the beginning each time!
