Amro - If you are reading a book using Audible Manager, you can get the info about how far in to the book you are if you are using JFW, by using the JAWS cursor; the info is at the bottomof the screen; you can also use book marks, and move forward by sections already placed in the book. I think it's CTRL B for book marks, and CTRL F for forwardwinding, and CTRL R for rewind, using these controls with the shift key will move you forward/backwards section by section.
