      No. Only in Apple Books on iOS. But this is also good for android: www.svartling.net/2018/03/i-read-19-books-in-11-weeks-so-far-here.html

      Of course. There is no point reading them otherwise

    Apple fixed this. Now it says: “no content to read”, forcing you to buy their audio books if you want to listen to a book.

    • @svartling

      That is not true. It works exactly the same as before. I use it everyday. So you simply are doing something wrong
