I am on the third book of a sci-fi trilogy (Red Rising), around 70% in. I’m happily reading when Libby on my Boox Leaf 2 stopped flipping pages at the end of a chapter. I’ve known about this annoying bug where even though the book is downloaded it just insists on a connection before continuing. Fine, tethered it to my phone, and once connected, the page flipped. The story jumped way forward in the following chapter, but I didn’t think much of it because this happens in the series sometimes. As I read more, however, I started suspecting something was off. Too much change in the characters, too many pivotal points.. I looked up the synopsis, and realized there’s a chunk missing – after connecting and successfully flipping the page, my Libby/Leaf had basically skipped 10 chapters or so, spoiling a massive plot point.
A quick killing and relaunch of the app fixed the issue, but I’m still salty about it.
Rant over.
