Add audiobook option to book info

[bibliothecary]

Description of your request or bug report:

As mentioned in the other thread, it would be nice to have a way of recording if you listened to an audiobook (either accompanying reading or on its own) on the book info page.

Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

I think it’s been briefly chatted about before, but no formal request. We only have the full blown Audible search / support request, which is now partially done Audiobooks are a bit strange in that they are very closely tied to the books and many people do them together. I don’t think we’d have a required field like subs, but perhaps a simple checkbox saying you read the audiobook / did both might be nice.

joining in on the request, I was just now looking to see if there was a request on the matter
for now I’ll probably do a [total page number] divided by [total track number] to track my listening I guess?
but having an actual way to V the tracks I listened to like I do with page numbers normally will be nice/even just a general V when I finish it as audio rather then directly reading it

I just do current location / overall minutes and then enter my percent finished, although if the tracks are fairly consistent for number of minutes I have done 1/tracks (ie, 10 tracks = each chapter is 10%) and used that for percentage as a close-enough shorthand.

Necroing this thread to chime in that it’d be really nice to have native audiobook handling, i.e. that the progress tracker uses duration instead of percent. (This is partially an audible issue, but I have to calculate my percentage in a spreadsheet and then use that to track my Natively progress.. not super fun). But it is also a little weird that it’s reporting pages read and not time read, and also messes with my page stats.
