Quick answer
Find things faster in reading progress by using the right tool for the question: library search for a book, text search for a word, contents for a chapter, and bookmarks for places you chose earlier.
Do not browse the whole library when you already know a title or phrase.
Use the fastest tool
Match the tool to what you know.
- Know the book title → library search.
- Know a word or phrase → text search.
- Know the chapter → contents or outline.
- Know you saved the place → bookmarks.
- Only remember opening it recently → history.
Use clear filenames
Search works better when filenames and metadata make sense.
Rename random download names when you are allowed to manage the file.
Do not over-tag
Too many tags and folders can make search slower because you have to remember your own system.
Use broad categories and let search handle details.
If search misses a book
Check spelling, filename, and whether the file was actually imported.
If the book is duplicated, remove the extra copy only after confirming which one has your progress and notes.
Detailed troubleshooting checklist
Work through the problem in this order: first check reading progress itself, then the app, then Android or the device. Keeping that order prevents you from changing many things when only one part is wrong.
- Change one setting at a time.
