			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you one of those users who likes to doze off while listing to an audiobook that is playing on a computer or laptop? If you are you might have experienced several problems related to that like not knowing the exact position that you stopped listening to the audiobook because you fell asleep or the problem that you woke up in the middle of the night only to listen to the part where the murder was uncovered.</p>
<p>Audiobook Sleep is a lightweight application that has been created with the Autohotkey software and published on a request at the <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/">Donation Coder</a> forum. It can be <a href="http://nod5.dcmembers.com/audiobooksleep.html">downloaded</a> right from the developer&#8217;s website. The full program has a size of only 211 Kilobytes after unpacking, a click on AudioBookSleep.exe will start the interface.</p>
<p>While it surely does look like any other shutdown sleep timer it comes with a feature that makes it a tad more interesting to use. It makes use of <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/MiniCap/">Minicap</a> or more precisely minicap.exe which has to be placed into the same folder as the audiobook sleep software program. Placing minicap.exe into the same folder will make the software create a screenshot of the computer system&#8217;s desktop before the shutdown process.</p>
<p><span id="more-11281"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/audiobook_sleep.jpg" alt="audiobook sleep" title="audiobook sleep" width="395" height="143" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11282" /></p>
<p>What does that mean? You not only get an application that shuts down the computer system after a certain amount of time but also a screenshot of your computer desktop displaying the play time of the audiobook. Next time you want to play the audiobook you start looking at the screenshot to check the play time and start listening from that position.</p>
