If your encoder engine supports m4b files (the aac audiobook format),
encode into that. Your iPod *should* skip over them in shuffle mode
(since it considers them 'books' and assumes you want to shuffle
'music').

Basically? That they're in m4b or aa (Audible's) format. m4b remembers
where you left off in an audiobook track (if you switch to music or
another book), Audible files do the same (except with DRM).

Cheers,

Steph
