Listening to Audiobooks

If the audiobook you’re listening to has chapters, pressing the Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind button skips to the next chapter or the beginning of the current chapter in the audiobook.

You can play audiobooks at speeds faster or slower than normal.

To set audiobook play speed:

mChoose Settings > Audiobooks and choose a speed.

You can also adjust the reading speed from the Now Playing screen while you’re listening to an audiobook. Press the Center button until you see the Speed menu item, and then use the Click Wheel to set Speed to Slower or Faster.

Setting the play speed only affects audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Music Store or audible.com.
