That’s very interesting Jonathan. I know I couldn’t get quick nap commander or keyboard command or to work on the particular book I am trying to read. I know I can read line by line but that really destroys the flow of the material I’m trying to read. Line by line is not the same as sentence by sentence when you’re trying to get a feel for the material. This is why I shy away from books on iOS, because all you can do is read the entire page at a time or a line by line mode by swiping down through the text.
