Siddhesh Deshpande 2024-06-06: Very useful since I find the audible window quite annoying as I use it while working and having to pause/play often. This extension is very useful for pinning the tab and switching to it.
Federer Fanatic 2024-04-05: Pretty functional in that it display the play button on audible. However, one observation is: it will not go to an existing open tab, rather it opens another tab. Would be nice if it looked for an already open tab.

Nicholas Wierenga 2022-10-29: 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.

Shawnee McGee 2018-03-12: Installed from Google Web store. As others have noted, When you left click the icon in Chrome, nothing happens. The menu pops-up when you right click to allow you uninstall, which is what I'll be doing.
