Jumps pages

I liked this app. Not so much anymore. It jumps pages without any sign that it has done so. It did it in one book. I forgave it as a temp glitch. Now it just did it, twice in another book. Be good if pocketbook is reading and acting on this.

Posting a day later - and again. Same. When I changed from Scroll to flip view, completely skipped the chapter !!!

So versatile and handy

I really appreciate that I don’t have to select all of the text I want my device to read aloud. This is a great feature!
