Ok that is rather different. Everyone I know on SSD or SS just has direct deposit into a bank account.

Katie,
I meant your Best Buy Visa not your income credit card.
Talk about misunderstanding each other.
Wish you lived closer. I would gladly feed you.

Is there a way anymore to tell how many hours are left in an audible? I've looked and can only find how many minutes in a chapter and it only shows up sometimes. I can't believe they have removed it.

No, I don't see that for the phone Audible or for Audible on an Android phone.

Audible on my Nokia 520 Windows phone DOES show the time of the book.

In audible for android on my phone it is Settings/Playback Settings/Progress Bar/Full Book.

Blossom · 03-26-2016, 12:39 PM

None of those options on the Fire Phone. If you flick the phone it shows chapter info but not full book.

Thanks, that works great. Can't find a similar setting in the Fire Phone app.

The Audible app for Fire is no better than the one on the Fire Phone. Which is to say both are inferior to either the iOS or Android apps. That said, the latter are far more popular mobile platforms.

What App? Fires play Audibles fine they have Built in under Audiobooks. Don't need an App. MP3 Audiobooks play fine under Music. IMO the Speakers on the Fire 10 are much better than the Phone. Phone is Tinny but I have Not heard Any Cell Phone that wasn't tinny.

I was referring to the built-in Audible app on Fire devices. Of course these 'work', but they are not as refined and easy to use (as Android and iOS), and they never get feature updates.

I went to use my Camera on the Phone Found out they have UPDATED it!! New...Overlays, Frames, Vigette, Focus & Much Much More has been added!

tomsem · 04-18-2016, 12:10 AM

So what version of FireOS do you have now?

Barbara1955 · 04-18-2016, 12:15 AM

After 18 months still love my Fire phone. For me it was a wonderful bargain, and using Straight Talk with 5G download per month make using a cell phone wonderful.
