SettingsSleep timer

Rewind when it fires

When the sleep timer fires, the book pauses and goes back by the chosen number of seconds — to a place you most likely still heard.

How it works

  • First the pause, then the rollback: after the fade not a single word plays at full volume.
  • The place after the rollback is saved — that is where the book continues from.
  • “Rewind after pause” is not added to the rollback: in the morning the book starts exactly from the rollback point.
  • Shook the phone during the fade — the timer starts over, and the book plays on without a pause or a rollback. If the timer fired while you were shaking, the rollback is cancelled: the book continues from where it stopped.
  • Shook it within a minute after the pause — the book continues from the rollback point, and the timer starts again.
  • Works with any sleep timer, including “To the end of the chapter” and the auto timer. The rollback never goes past the start of the book.

Values

“Off”
The book pauses where the timer fired. Later the usual “Rewind after pause” rewinds it, if it is on.
Seconds
10, 30 or 60 s.
Default
30 s.
Sync
With sync on, the value moves to your other devices.

Tip

If you have to hunt for your place by hand in the morning, set 60 seconds. If the book repeats what you remember, set 10.
