Quick Audible Oasis 2017 Question.

Ranny · 12-09-2017, 04:59 PM

I've searched and can't find how on the audible player on the Oasis to change the timer from chapter to complete book.

I drive a lot and need to know, I have sufficient book remaining to cover the journey.

We all know the feeling 30 minutes from home and the audiobook finishes

Any help appreciated.

Or when you sit in the grocery store's parking lot, after a 2 day journey, because you find there is an hour of book left. Can't go home until the story is done!

There does not seem to be one. But if you bring up the Chapter list, you can see the times for each of the (remaining) chapters, and (in theory) you can add up the times in your head (or with use of calculator).

But in California at least driving and operating a Kindle without a dash mount is illegal. And even where it is not illegal, it is ill-advised.

I thought the question was about listening to an audio book, not actually operating the Kindle in the usual sense - ?

Yes, but if you have to touch the kindle to find out the number of chapters or complete-time left, then you are "operating the kindle". When you are listening, but want to know more info about how much time is left ..... that info isn't spoken withing the book's audible output.
