Audible is really bad at this. If I set a timer for 15 minutes, and am still awake, I press play (since it pauses). But then it plays without having set a new timer. So to not have it play for hours while I sleep, I then have to take out my phone, look at the bright display, and set a new timer for 15 minutes.

Why cannot pressing play in this instance be like a reverse snooze??

Smart Audiobook Player (Android) has an automatic sleep mode. Also you don't have to press the play button, it indicates the end (fading audio, beep) and you just have to shake/move the device to keep it going, so you don't have to open your eyes at all. It's fantastic.
