I often listen in the car. Audible is way better than iTunes, at least on an iPhone. My iPhone frequently lost my place and I had to manually find the location where I had stopped listening. The Audible app works well.

My favorite audiobook this year is The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach http://www.amazon.com/Art-Fielding-N.../dp/0316126675. I also enjoy John MacDonald's Travis McGee series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_McGee
