I, too, really like the new update. However, I do miss the fast forward/rewind buttons that would let you move through files at different speeds. Because this feature seems to no longer be available, and because the percentage slider is not accessible with VO, I can no longer move easily through a file. I could use button-free mode, I suppose, but I feel that the fast forward/rewind buttons were better. I think I'll write to Audible to suggest they put the buttons back into the app.
