That's interesting in previous versions of the app you used to be able to move by heading through a list of books and you could skip the double swipe now it doesn't appear to be possible anymore personally for me. I do not like that you have to open the app in order to rewind or fast-forward. I would prefer to be able to skip back five or 20 seconds on the lock screen or to skip forward in those increments it's very annoying to have to open the app to do that especially when I am busy doing things while I am listening to a book. It would be even better if I could do it using my Bluetooth headphones as I can with Libby and Audible.
