Hi, Rick! Sorry for my delayed response to your post. At the moment, I don't know of any good accessible player that will bookmark your net library books. I'm not saying there isn't something, but I haven't found it yet. Maybe some IRiver product might do it? I don't know. I've been going for the cheap stuff for folks who don't have much money but want to access these Net Library books. I think you have to go to high-end players to get that bookmarking capability. Really annoying, I know.
