Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when you are in the book detail page, viewing the chapters shows the timestamp of where the chapter starts in the overall audio file (eg. 1:12:35).
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to see, or to be able to choose between, the duration of the chapters (eg. 43min) instead of the timestamp position.
Additional context

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 4, 2024):
I'm looking at this and not seeing a good way to fit both of them in there so like you said we would have to add a setting to switch between the two. I'm not sure where to put that setting. It doesn't seem like something that would be on the settings page. Adding a menu button on the table header feels like overkill, so not sure about this one.
@cslamar commented on GitHub (Apr 4, 2024):
My two cents would be to put the toggle in a global settings menu. My rational is that it's either you want it to be displayed, or you don't. Probably not something that someone would be toggling in the book view or the player.

I've gotten use to going to the web view if I wanted to see the duration, but it would be nice to have a setting to use duration instead (or just show both like the web view). I could also see this setting being used on the chapter view of the player.
Potential chapter duration view (mimic webpage)

webpage:
Chapter view of player (would be nice to have a setting to view duration instead)
@sir-wilhelm commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025):
It'll be easy to add the duration to the chapter table on the book page (mirroring how it looks on the webpage), so I'll make a PR for that.
I think I have changes ready to go for the mobile app too, but I can only test the android version. I'll make a 2nd PR for that change.
If you want the global settings option to be used for both we can trash the first PR and I can update the 2nd one to use the setting on the chapters table too (but IMO it looks fine w/ both columns -- I tested on a small/large emulator).
