It seemed that letting the iPod go into sleep mode after listening to the audiobook tracks caused a problem. The result was that the iPod was difficult to wake up from it’s sleep. I had to manually restart it each time. The timing was coincidental with moving the book files to my Pod and I thought that this may have something to do with it.<\/p>\n
