Nicholas Wierenga (ID: 000000cc920e9bfb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/29/2022 It works well and is awfully convenient not having to copy and paste the popup link back into the original tab, but there's an annoying bug where you can click the "Play in Tab" button, but it links the book that comes before the one you want to listen to. I think this is because in my library I have a podcast series I listen to in with the paid books. All books after that one are 'pushed back' one space and to have it function properly I have to click the button for the book 1 book past the one I want to listen to. All the books prior to the podcast have their buttons working fine. It's an annoying bug, but only ruins the extension when you want to play in tab the very last book on the page.

Lisa Taylor (ID: 000000f1bf4eff83) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/23/2020 Like most, I added it, couldn't figure out how to "break" into a newer ext. Useless help, Prashanth! I deleted extension like the majority I've read.
