Quick answer
To continue reading quickly from reading progress, keep the current book visible and let saved progress return you to the last place.
A good “continue reading” flow should take only a few taps.
Keep current books separate
Put the few books you are actively reading at the top or in a small current-reading group.
Do not make yourself search the full library every time.
Use progress and history
Progress is best when you know the book. History helps when you remember opening something recently but forgot the title.
Bookmarks are useful for chosen return points, not as a replacement for automatic progress.
Avoid duplicate files
Two copies of the same book can have two different progress positions.
Use one main reading copy so returning is predictable.
Test the return flow
Close the reader in the middle of a chapter and open it again.
If you cannot get back to the same place quickly, fix the library or progress setup before adding more organization.
Detailed troubleshooting checklist
