I bought a Sandisk e130. Customer support tells me that it will remember time in file position if I pause unit before turning it off.
After a week of going around they told me that this only works with .aa files. I'm listening to .mp3 podcasts. Is there a conversion process to turn .mp3 in to .aa?
It was an interesting read and maybe some day I'll want to convert an audible book to mp3. What I want to do is convert mp3 content to .aa to take advantage of bookmarking.
I didn't see anything in that long thread about going the way I want to go.
Hmm, I am no expert on this, but, I can give you a 'semi-solution'.
Using iTunes, convert your .mp3 podcasts to Apple's AAC (.M4a) Format. Using Windows File Explorer change that extension to .M4b~
That'll enable iTunes Bookmarking feature.
But the only thing it can't do is to implement Chapter breaks. This is what makes the .aa format so desireable becuse it supports a Gapless Playback....

I gave it a try. My sandisk e130 would not recognize the file. Oh well. I dropped the ~ from m4b since I think you didn't mean to type that.
before posting in the future.
