Hi Deborah. If you press the page forward or page backward keys while
reading, as opposed to going to an absolute page number, does Bookport jump
from page to page? And, furthermore, does the page number reporting
setting change as you move around incrementally? So, for example if it
says you're on page 20, and you hit the page backward key, does it now say
you're on page 19?
If not, it could mean there's not enough navigational data to do what you
want.
