Interesting. I'll check it out.luvmy4brats said:DD,
The fact that it works in some books and not others is driving me batty. I'd like it to work on all of them.
Just FYI, I believe you can tell by looking at the progress bar whether it will work or not. If there a bunch of little dots on it, it will work. If there are no dots, it won't. Just an observation, and dots isnt really a technical term, but if you look at the bar, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Good observation, Luv. It seems to me that the dots indicate there is a some sort of linking to chapters and at TOC and that's why the right/left clicking works. I just checked in a few of the books I am reading and it was consistent. Dots, the click trick worked; no dots, it didn't.luvmy4brats said:DD,

Good catch. Thanks! I fixed it in the original and the other quoted post.Crodley said:To pause the speech it's Space not Shift. Just a FYI
On the four things I tried it on, in three of them, if you are already into the book (i.e. dots are present) it works to go from chapter beginning to chapter beginning. If you are on the Table of Contents, it works to go from topic to topic or Chapter Title to Chapter Title withing the TOC. In one book from Amazon ("Three Cups Of Tea"), doesn't work at all - into the book (dots) or in Table of Contents.Leslie said:Good observation, Luv.

What's frustrating me, though, is that if you add a bookmark, you'll see a dot in the progress bar, but you can't click-right to get to it. It seems as though you should be able to, doncha' think?Leslie said:Good observation, Luv.

You'd think..Like I said, this sorta, kinda, sometimes feature is driving me batty. Hopefully it's a bug and they'll work it outtlrowley said:What's frustrating me, though, is that if you add a bookmark, you'll see a dot in the progress bar, but you can't click-right to get to it.
