Hi John,
I disagree with this. I like to hear the time elapsed, but I would also
like to hear the time remaining. This would be a good indication as to how
long the book is. Percentages are no use to me, when it comes to books. So
perhaps there should be an option in BC settings as to whether you want to
know time in audio files, or percentage, as you can't please everyone
<Smile>.
All the best

Subject: [betabookcourier] suggestion for changing percentage reading for
audible files
If you're reading an audible.com book or playing an mp3 file, the BC
announces now much of that file you've played when you press and hold the
Play key. As I remember it, it used to be that the BC told you what
percentage of the file you'd read, as it does for text files. My suggestion
is to either change what the BC says when you press and hold Play for an
audible file -- that it read the per centage of the file you've read. I
find it much more useful to hear "51%" as opposed to "3 hours 02". Perhaps
this could be a usable- selectable reading choice.
John
