Make the restart smaller than the intention
A reading goal can be ambitious. The next action should not be. Opening the book you were already reading is enough for a busy day.
A visible Continue reading space reduces the work between deciding to read and returning to the sentence.
Keep the library useful, not impressive
A library earns its place when it remembers progress, bookmarks, and the books you actually return to.
Put unfamiliar files somewhere you can browse later. Give the current book the clearest path back in.
Let the format choose the pace
A dense PDF may invite a page at a time. A novel may work better in continuous scroll. The useful setting is the one that makes the next page feel available.
There is no universal reading rhythm. There is only the rhythm that lets you come back tomorrow.
