+# Audiobookshelf Now Playing
+
+Track currently playing audiobooks and podcasts from your [Audiobookshelf](https://www.audiobookshelf.org/) server on your Tronbyt / Tidbyt device.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Now Playing Display**: Shows current title, author, progress bar, and realistic time remaining (or elapsed / total).
+- **Clean 1x & 2x Layouts**:
+  - **1x (64x32)**: Clean layout with title, author, progress bar, and dedicated right-aligned time remaining.
+  - **2x (128x64)**: High-resolution layout featuring chapter title, progress bar, percentage, and time remaining.
+- **Configurable Listen Speed Factor**: Select your listening speed multiplier (`0.5x`, `0.75x`, `1.0x`, `1.25x`, `1.5x`, `1.75x`, `2.0x`, `2.5x`) to dynamically recalculate remaining listening time.
+- **Aspect Ratio Detection**: Automatically detects square vs. rectangular book covers.
+- **Stylized Fallback**: Procedurally renders a book cover if server covers are unavailable.
+- **Customizable Appearance**: Multiple color themes, custom hex colors, progress bar styles, and scroll modes.
