Apple has posted a tech tip about playing audio books on the iPod Shuffle. Three cheers for a superb implementation. Put it in shuffle mode and it knows to skip the audiobooks. The only minor thing that would have been nice is a way to tell Autofill to include books but putting them on manually is a minor inconvenience.

AppleMatter has a first impression of the iPod Shuffle and iRiver's CEO proves they still don't get it.
