Marking chapters and taking notes

Adding bookmarks, notes, and highlights in an audiobook

To create a bookmark, tap bookmark icon at the top of the player. If you'd like, you can add a note.

 

To create a highlight, play the audiobook, then tap and hold bookmark icon for however long you need. Here, you can add a note.

 

Bookmarks, notes, and highlights are saved in the audiobook under menu > Bookmarks (and reappear there if you borrow the book again).

 

 

Playback Speed

In an audiobook, tap playspeed icon to choose between play speed options.

Or, drag down on playspeed icon to set a custom speed (from 0.6x-3x).
