Describe the feature/enhancement

Most times I choose a book based on how long it is and whether I can complete it in the time that I have available for listening that day/week. But to check the length/duration of the books, I have to open the view page of every book I'm considering.

So, instead, can we have a tiny label on the cover of the book (like on the bottom right) that tells the length of the book.

This morning I am trying to decide which of the two books to read considering my Sunday schedule and would have loved to be able to choose one by taking just once glance at their lengths.

First thought is I don't want to put more stuff on the cover art. When going to the library tab and sorting by duration you will see the duration there.
Maybe though. We'll see if anyone else has opinions.

I don't mind the way audible does it (with an additional third line below the author)

Audible has a fancy progress bar with the time remaining on my books that I'm not finished with- that's not necessary since a progress bar already exists on the cover- but if the item updated to time remaining that'd be awesome!

Perhaps have it visible only on hovering over the cover?

I like the idea of having it on there, but I think the better idea is allowing someone to set a settings to show it or not.
