I was a little skeptical about audiobooks on my iPhone when the first apps were coming out with full length books. However, just like I now use my iPhone as a primary print news source, now I also use my phone for entertainment reading and audio book listening. There were some crucial features missing from the iPhone as an audio device that Bookmark has addressed and provided perfectly.

Serious readers get physical with their books. We turn down pages to refer to later, take notes in the margins, put page-mark stickies on with labels on them and do various other things that mar forever the physical state of our reading materials. Bookmark allows iPhone readers to do all of these things to any piece of audio literature that you keep on your iPhone.

Bookmark has some great features. Add multiple bookmarks as placeholders or notes and give them each custom titles. The notes are incredibly versatile, they can even include active URL's, phone numbers and more. A feature that I really use a lot is the Time Ribbon, which allows you to jump around the recording in pre-determined intervals. Obviously. The app holds your place where you left off and picks up at that point for you, its most basic function. It works with any and all audio books that you have loaded onto your iPhone.

It's scary the extent to which my iPhone has permeated my life. This app enhances one of the more positive capabilities of the iPhone, and makes audio book listening a dar more interactive and enjoyable experience. If you are already listening to audio books on your iPhone then this app is a must have, it offers crucial functionality that I am sure as an audio book listener you have been missing out on. Buy it, use it and mark up those audio books like you were in sophomore Lit class again.
