Count as finished from

From what point a book gets the “Finished” mark. It is only a mark: the book plays to its last second, and the next one starts at the real end.

Values

Threshold
90, 95, 98 or 99 % of the book.
Default
98 %.
Last 30 seconds
Finished at any threshold: whichever comes first applies.

What the mark affects

  • Statistics: the book counts towards “Finished” and “Finished this year”.
  • A universe’s timeline: finished books are not offered as the next one.
  • Auto cleanup (Akoue Pro): the “Offload finished books” rule offloads such books, and under the “No more than” rule they go first.
  • The library filter by status.

What does not depend on the threshold

  • The next book and, in Akoue Pro, the offload question come when the book has played to the end.
  • A new threshold does not change the mark on books already finished: it applies while a book is playing.
  • Start listening to a finished book again and the mark comes off; it returns when you reach the threshold again.

Tip

If your books end with long afterwords or credits you don’t listen to, set 90 or 95 %: the book will be marked finished without them.
