Hi Arnold,
You can actually find out what chapter is playing by double tapping on the time elapsed counter. Then flick left or right a bit and it will show you the chapter, but the readout will go away again after a while. I asked one of my employees to look at the Chapter and Bookmarks page. I was playing an audio book at the time and she said the currently playing chapter was highlighted and I am pretty sure the app could be programmed so that Voiceover would say something like "Selected" or "Currently Playing" before it reads out the chapter and time. This would be a big improvement in my view and I'll definitely write to Audible again tonight to emphasize this. As far as a Jump Forward button is concerned, it does not exist. I am not sure why they would talk about it, but it's definitely not there whether you use Voiceover or not.

It will tell you what chapter you are in. And another feature I wish VoiceOver could access in the new audible app, (I hope it is simply that I don't know how to access it), is a jump forward button. I know it exists, for it talks about jump forward and back in the settings, I just think VoiceOver isn't finding it.

I really would like them to upgrade their sleep timer so you can set the time simply as a custom time and also that there is a subtle warning 10 or 20 seconds before the timer runs out and an easy way to reset it if you are stil l awak and hear the warning. The sleep timer app "iTired" does this beautifully, but unfortunately you can't use it with third-party apps, only the native music app. Another big thing I would like to see fixed is the fact that there is no indication in the Chapters and Bookmarks area which chapter is currently playing. If Voiceover said "Now Playinbg" or "Selected" or whatever when you come across the chapter that is playing at the time it would make it much easier to find your chapter and either double tap on the one before or the one after. I will write to Audible again with these suggestions and hope as many as possible join me in this.

In version 2.1 I still can't get the 2 finger gesture to activate back buttons. and I still can't fathom for the life of me why it is that the time elapsed indicator allows you to change its value by swiping or flicking upward and yet it returns to its original position when playback of a book resumes. Here's hoping in future such functionality will be restored. Robin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
