I was wondering if anyone can recommend any Audiobook players (.m4b specifically, with compilation and bookmark support) for linux.

I have most of my audiobooks in their .mp3 formats, but since getting my iPod Touch a few years ago I've had most of them converted to .m4b format so that they can support bookmarking and chapters. I've tried looking for one but most of my google results are just crappy shareware programs for converting audio, and the rest being forum posts ABOUT converting formats.

Can anyone recommend me a program? I've got experience with programming and compiling for the Pandora so I should be able to compile a version for the pandora and get it up on the file archive.
 
Can't really help you here, I don't have a Pandora yet. I certainly hope someone will port rockbox for Pandora though. Rockbox is the best player for audiobooks, it has great bookmarking options.
There are initiatives to be able to run rockbox as an app http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=14177.30
If this works, I assume we will see an explosion of rockbox capable devices.
