Having made a number of audio books, when showing them to different people, nearly every time, once the audio on the initial cover/splash screen finishes, the person waits for the next screen to appear and I have to show them that they need to swipe it.
It would be really helpful if in the Editor, an option could be added so that there is a choice for having the default operation of the book as Auto-play (that is, once the audio of the current screen has completed, the next screen is automatically loaded) or Manual Play (as it is now). Then in the Reader, there is also a switch allowing the user to select what they prefer.
A practical example of this is that many people like to listen to a story while doing something else, like food preperation or washing up. They simply want to listen to a continuous story without constantly having to go back to the phone to swipe it, possibly with dirty fingers.
One additional option would be to have a variable that sets time delay between ending one screen and starting the other.
Also, if there is a collection containing many short books (e.g. Bible for Children), it would be useful to have the abillity to load and ‘run’ the next book in the sequence (a book could contain the ID of the next book to play if enabled).
Thanks
