Hi Vicky, The screen where you have Play/Pause, Jump Back, Bookmark and so on has 2 read outs. One is time elapsed and 1 is time remaining. The Time Elapsed can be adjusted/moved back or forth, but this is misleading since it looks like you are moving the playback position but nothing actually happens. If you flick right once Voiceover says "Time remaining" and the time. This however is only what is remaining in the chapter you are currently in.
One of the very nice new features of the new Audible app is that if you back out of the play screen to where the parts of the book are listed, you hear each part along with its total length if you haven't started playing it. If you have started playing a part, it will tell you the time remaining in that part, e.g. I am just looking at part 1 of a book I am reading and it tells me 1 hour 24 minutes left. If I flick right once Voiceover also says "Progress, 74%" which means I am just about three quarters done with that part. This book I am reading has 3 parts so if I listen to part 2, Voiceover reads the title, author and narrator and then tells me part 2 is 6 hours 52 mins. I can also back out one more level to the main listing of books on my device. Here Voiceover tells me the same information as for the part except that it applies to the entire book. It reads out the name of the book, author and once again the narrator and also that I have 14 hours 40 mins left. If I flick right once I hear "Progress, 22%" which means that while I am almost three quarters done with part 1, my entire progress in the book is 22% so less than one quarter done. Once you have reviewed the information you can double tap on the "Now Playing" button right above the home key and you are back on your play screen.
