Not worried about it for the purpose of playing an audiobook. You ain't gettin' much for B600, a given.

 

No real problem if so. Want more, pay more. Since the OP's so cost conscious, I gave him the minimum. It'll play an audiobook.

 

That suggestion should get the ball rolling.  Big Spenders (with other people's money) may jump in to suggest the usual Nvidia Shield or--a heavenly NUC. A NUC running Windows 11.????

Easier to just say that you made a mistake. 
Otherwise you just fall into the category of ‘spending other people’s money’ carelessly. 
 

Those boxes go for around 450 normally: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/mxq-pro-box-2023-android-10-4khd-tv-box-box-ram8grom-128gb-wifi-disney-hotstar-youtube-netflix-tv-i4427303920-s17713208151.html

 

Added to that, I wouldn’t be sure about running KODI on those specs. Wit
Better to get the 2GB RAM model, 743 baht from your link and 464 from mine. 

OP started two threads discussing media players, including Android boxes, but in the end obtained nothing at all. 
Don’t hold out much hope for him following your ideas.

I can confirm this box is rubbish, i bought it to try and binned it after a few days, probably has spyware on also plus fake specs and fake reviews.

 

A much better cheap box for around 1k is this one

I don't see any Audiobook Reader2 in the Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Audiobook+Reader2&c=apps&hl=en_US&gl=US

 

The Audiobook Reader narrates e-book files in the form of .epub, .mobi, etc.

 

But a serious audiobook reader will allow you to create bookmarks. So you create one when you start and then at the end of 15 or 20 min. Or in between. That should allow you to find the place where you fell asleep rather quickly. It'd be cool if the audiobook reader would let you create automatically a series of bookmarks at 5 minute intervals.

 

Another possibility is to create a cue sheet for your MP3 file as described here: https://www.mymusictools.com/articles/how-do-i-create-a-cue-sheet.htm. So you can create your own chapters automatically at precise 5 minute intervals, and those should be helpful for quickly finding the right place to restart the next night. However, it takes an audio player to understand cue sheets.

 

Here's a phone under B1000 that might at least play audio:

My last suggestion is just to buy a cheap Android TV box like this for under B600:

But it needs a display: monitor or TV. You can put your book & audiobook app there or for a player use the Kodi (bookmarks!). Pair that with a Bluetooth speaker as described above. Start the book, turn off the monitor or TV, then later turn off the box w/ its remote.

 

Connect the box to the 'net, add Qbittorent, and you can download torrents directly to the box (or attached storage).

 

Guess that's all I got to say on the subject. Good luck.

It's Audiobook Player 2
