Can't re-listen to finished audiobooks

Hi guys,


I am using iPhone X with iOS 13.6. I recently purchased some audiobooks from Audible then transferred them to my phone. These books were played well with the default Book app on iPhone; however, when I finished listening to them for the first time, I couldn't listen to them for the second time. I tapped the tittles, then they just quit and returned to the main book library section. I have been noticing this issue since iOS 13.5 and it still hasn't been fixed yet.

I have a workaround for this.

Immediately after you've tried (and failed) to play a "Finished" book; tap the power button once; and then again.

The Books app should be visible on the Lock screen - hitting Play should now cause the book to cycle correctly back to the start.
