does just what i need it to!
second update: I discovered that if you avoid pressing any buttons and just swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display the control center, then lower your watch so it darkens the screen, when you look at it again it will display the watch face while saving your place in the book. all you have to do is navigate back to the app to pick up where you left off. This makes it perfect for what I use it for. Additionally, I downloaded an app to edit txt files, so when I make progress in the book on my phone and want to pick back up on my watch, I simply edit the txt file to the place I left off so I don’t have to spend a while scrolling to find it :) update: managed to make it work by converting the epub to a txt file (the website convert.io is fast and free), but without the ability to save my spot in the text it’s too long to read practically since in that format it’s not divided by chapters I uploaded an epub to the watch and it worked just fine until I realized that after the prologue it showed only “part” titles as chapters with no content, with none of the chapters in the three parts, and only the text of the prologue and epilogue were accessible. hoping to find a workaround for this or that it will at least work for other books. I like the customizability of the display
