Yeah, I thought of this too, but the original question asked about verbosity and skippable, which can't be changed from the now reading page, like the speed can, so based on this wording, it does beg the question as to how you can change the verbosity and skippable settings in a book you're now reading. Of course, as Richard has demonstrated, it looks like these changes in the Audio Settings do effect books you're now reading.

Anna, makes sense to me.  Perhaps a better wording is "Changes will be
automatically applied only to books downloaded after the changes has
been made."

Hi Richard and all,

The volume settings let you set default values for books. For instance, I
generally listen at a speed of 1.25. If I set the speed to 1.25 in volume
Settings, then any book that I open for the first time afterward gets set to
speed 1.25 automatically. However, if I had already opened a book before
making this setting and set the speed to 1.5, it would stay at 1.5 even
after I changed the speed in Audio Settings. Does this make sense?

Best,
Anna

Hi,
Well, I don't know what they meant by that either.
I have a book at about 90'% finished. I went into settings and turned the
verbosity off. That only effects the message spoken when a button is
pressed if VoiceOver is turned off.
I went back to my book, positioned my finger over the bookmark button,
toggled voiceover off and tapped the screen.
I heard a beep.
I then turned voiceover back on and went back into settings and turned
verbosity on again.
Went back to the book, positioned my finger over the bookmark button,
toggled voiceover off again, tapped and the Bard app spoke the bookmark
prompt, which is what it should do when using it without VoiceOver.
So, this was clearly a book that was already played, but the settings
still had an effect.
So, I would say that statement in the manual is meaningless.
HTH,

Hello, everyone.

In preparation for downloading and using the BARD app, I am reading
the user guide and am puzzled by a statement in Section 5.1: "Audio
Settings."  It reads: "Changing the skippability and verbosity options
within audio  settings will only
affect books and magazines not previously opened."  Taken literally,
this sentence means that changes involving audio settings can never be
made to a book that has been previously opened.  That is, if the user
fails to alter a setting during the first session in which a book is
opened, such a change can never be made.  Surely, this is not what the
writer(s) of the guide intended.  What is really the case here?

Thank you.

Craig
