Does anybody know how to load Audio Books in order to read them properly using the correct interface?

Which device?

a USB key

Is there even a different interface for an audiobook? If so, I haven't seen it. I play audiobooks all the time from iOS devices in iDrive, and the player is the same as for music as far as I can tell.

Yes, there is a specific interface for audiobooks where you can put bookmarks and skip to specific parts of the book.

Well now you have me curious! The audiobooks I listen to are on iOS devices and are in the audiobook format according to iTunes. In fact I select them under Other Media/Audiobooks in iDrive. But I never noticed a different interface. I'll play around with it when I leave work.

Most audio books have DRM and thus won't be able to be played directly from a USB drive. Where are you obtaining the books from?

You can buy audio books on CD and rip them to mp3s. They don't have DRM issues. But I confirmed that there is no special audiobook interface when playing from iphone and iPods via BT, USB or Snap-In.

If you do figure it out, I'd like to see the interface you're talking about!
