The same is true of the iOS update after the last update. It can be confusing!

Hmmm . . . I'm using the iOS v. 2.0.4 and I'm able to see the total time remaining on main library page. When I activate the link it takes me to the individual parts of the download and displays the time remaining for each part.
You said it better than I did, TR :)
The Android version does not show the total time remaining for a book on the main library page. When I activate the link to the book, it does show the time remaining for each part. Even if it did show me time remaining on the library page, I'd rather see it when I'm in the book, since I'm rarely on the library page, and going there to find time remaining would be an extra step. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying.
Now that I look at it, I wonder if the issue is that the app update happened while I was in the middle of reading a two-part book. It appears that it's recognizing all my other large books (that I purchased quite awhile back) as one file and showing total book time, so this might just be a short-term issue with my current book. Problem (hopefully) solved!
Oh I am so happy!!! Half a year ago, I couldn't even sign into Audible for android, and now I can! Super happy. Haven't tried it yet, as I have finished all my books from audible and ran out of credits...

If I understand correctly the complaint is the update now shows you time left in chapter rather than time left in book. Go to settings. Choose playback options. Hit on progress bar and you can set it for time left in book instead of chapter and it will stay that way.
If that setting doesn't help I'm not sure I see you are talking about a case like les miserables that had 7 parts and I haven't had a big book like that since I upgraded
Glad I could help. I don't understand why they don't show both chapter and book length rather than one orthe other.
Travis, you were understanding the issue correctly. I did have that setting you referenced set on "whole book," but it was still only recognizing parts. As I said above, I think I'll be fine once I'm done with my current book (Madame Bovary, which was downloaded as two parts), as the update occurred while in the middle of listening to it. It appears all my other books are going to be fine.
Still no volume slider like on my Ipod. :(
There is a setting for how much left for book instead of the default chapter... go into settings, then progress bar select full book... I hate how long it takes to sink bookmarks and stuff for local titles. I wish you could turn it off and manually sink.
My only (fairly minor) complaint is that I still have a bunch of Audible books that were downloaded into multiple parts (before they recently started downloading them all as one big file). When the app indicates the amount of time left in the "book," it only indicates the time left in that part, not the whole book. I think I have my settings correct, but if anyone knows how to rectify this, I'd appreciate it!
