Easier reading

I like the great voices compared to Kindle app but the design is really messed up. You recreated the display when you originally read it in and create a different version. This version scans the book and messed up the text with it losing spaces along with smashing the individual chapter headings with the following text of the story. Frequent insertion of mn and 0 where it replaces a o. You should maintain the original version and use your speech feature highlighting the paragraph as written as already do that against the revised file. The second problem is if like myself I use my phone when I'm out or driving as this makes listening in the car easier and when home I use my tablet. The biggest issue is that it doesn't save the location in the book or share to the same account so I have to locate the same location on the other device depending on which device now accessing the book. It also doesn't update the location in the original Kindle file so you have to update the location in it also. If all of my suggestions were made you could access Kindle file locate read to location and when finished reading update so regardless just opening the file either in your app or Kindle app you go to the last page. You can leave the option that just shows the play button and pause button as it is since just reads the book. Another bonus is you don't have to scan the book in, finding a specific page is easier since the pages match the original version.

Display Total Audiobook Length at 1x Speed

Feature: Display total estimated audiobook length at 1x speed in HH:MM Reasons: 1) Education log for trend analysis 1x speed is a simple baseline benchmark to track/compare total material covered over time. The actual time taken on a book is not important to me. I see there is the time log for the book, but it is a different measurement and doesn't fit with my other data tracking. 2) Time planning Knowing how long a book will take lets me plan my schedule to finish it. Implementation Idea: Simply scanning the number of words and knowing how many words per minute the AI is set to speak at in 1x will probably get an estimate within 2% accuracy. Anything within 5% accuracy will work great for me. Background: Iโ€™m a software engineer and an audiobook monster. I listen to about 20+ books a month at 3-3.5x while driving, hiking, running, etc. Too many books are not in audiobook form yet. This app looks promising to fill the gap for less popular books that donโ€™t have audiobook recordings. Attachment: Example of my education log with book length tracked by month/year. If this app could give me the same book length estimates, that would be perfect. Thank you so much for your time, hard work and consideration!! I signed up for your annual subscription, I look forward to using your app more!
