Really happy with the new app and the way it looks. The flat graphics are a welcome change. Most of the time I use it on Button Free mode in my car and the dark background will make it easier on the eyes.
(Nice to see another Jim Butcher fan. Cold Days rocked)

Question: is there some point to the "More Books" screen in the app (on iPhone) that I am missing? It does not appear to do anything.

Don't think so. I guess this is where Audible would let you purchase books if they could offer that option right in the App. The whole routine of leaving the App, going to Safari to make a purchase and coming back to Audible to download it is so annoying. Blame Apple for that one.

I'm very disappointed. The new app has no volume control on screen. No fast forward option. The font is tiny. The old version was more user friendly. This app needs to be improved. Please bring back the old features!
