Ipod or Sandisk Sansa or other MP3 Player

I do NOT have a smartphone. It is an old flip phone.

I want to listen to MP3 audiobooks. I have a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ that has died. I do not need the expansion storage of the + since I only load 1 or 2 books at a time.

I looked on eBay and it appears that I can get a ipod to replace my Clip at a cheaper price, but there are so many different mode

I want to RockBox the MP3 player which limites me to a 1 to 4 generation Ipod.

Any suggestions?

    I like the way Rockbox creates bookmarks since I start and stop the clip+ often while listing to the book.

    If you really like the Clip, buy another one. I mean they are $30 or less. If you go with the Apple products, you will probably have to install the morass that is Itunes. For total disclosure I pretty much hate all thing Apple though.

    If you're going to just listen to books, I wouldn't think you'd need Rockbox.

    I have two Sansa Clips and love them. Just about wore the paint off the Stop/Start button. :) I too just use them to listen to books.
