I am currently converting a few Librivox books to Ipod Audiobook format. I am just getting started and would be glad to share with anyone the method or the actual converted books.

That would be good to know, it it's simple to describe and easy to do.

I tend to download my LV books as podcasts, and then set up a smart playlist to include only the sections that have not yet been played.

In a podcast, any track starts again from where I left off, even if I listen to other tracks in between.

In this smart playlist, the tracks automatically remove themselves from the playlist as they are completed.

Putting these two facts together means that I can listen to a book by hitting PLAY on the playlist, and it will pick up where I left off. In fact, it's just like an audiobook

I would really like to know the Audiobook format you use for your ipod.
Thanks

I convert the books I intend to hear to the native ipod-format using a program meaningful called "mp3 to audiobook converter". It's easy to use, free and can be downloaded here:
