Good just not great

zerozero12 on

South Africa

It loads the page of the book I’m currently reading every time I go on a different App and return and sometimes it doesn’t load and I have to close the book and reopen it. Secondly it keep asking me sync last page read because it looks like I am reading on another device and I am not reading on any other device.
