Thats right, we do support 'bookmarking" on both PC and the device, but they dont sync up with each other at the mo. They will do soon tho!

My big beef is with MP3 Books that I am listening to. If I don't listen for a couple of days, when I hit a button it boots up and doesn’t have the bookmark any more. With a good size book I spend 15 min sometimes trying to find where I was. I would even accept a manual book mark as long as it kept it until the file is removed from my device. The same thing seems to happen if it gets bumped and reboots or if I listen until the battery dies, at least I would have the position of the last bookmark in these situations. Searching a 5 GB file is a real pain in the butt. Do any other players do a better job in this area? Bob

I sure hope that the developers come out with another update with the major issues like this one, in a speedy manner and not in a year or something close.
They completly recreated the software so that it no longer uses major components of Windows Media Player as a backbone, and it is now completly stand-alone.It's not a "Major Update", but it did take time, it's a start, and now that it's stand-alone, its probably easier for them to add new features in a quicker manner then the previous software (Quarterly).

Since then, libraries have entire rooms dedicated to audio books, and book sellers like B&N and Borders have built entire wings for their holdings. Not to mention Amazon. Obviously, there has grown some interest in spoken books. So, is the problem that there is some unscaleable technological hurdle that is not allowing bookmarking onto the Zune for mp3 files? Goodness, I know MS had little to do with putting a man on the moon, but the masterminds who brought us DOS, Windows, Vista and even BOB, should be able to solve this problem. Now listen, MS, if you want to solve a really tough problem -- when I wake up in the morning and my Zune battery is dead, I need the Zune to know when I fell asleep!
