Hi Mary, I can see something like this being useful. In the Audible app you can filter by "Unfinished" by going to the cloud tab, then double tap on "All Titles" and then pick "Unfinished" from the list of options. However, this still shows me a lot of books which I have read and which for some reason don't show as "Finished". But it's better than nothing and hopefully others maybe request a better way to sort read from unread and there will be improvements with this. One other area which I think is silly is their listening statistics. If you ever get a new device, do a compelte restore or even delete Audible to reinstall it you always start out from scratch. I don't understand why they don't track total listening time from all your devices and back this up/sync to iCloud so that if you get a new device it will continue to add to your total. It should not be that hard to give people the ability to look at this information by device or as a total. It would also be nice if somewhere they showed how many books were in your library.

You had your machine. You had your active library list, then you had your archive. That way, when you had a whole lot of books, some of which you had not rent, you could see those in your active library list. And you wouldn't have to go through all those things that you had read to find things that you had not read. When you have a library that has many hundreds of books in it, it is kind of a big deal.
