Easier reading
I like the great voices compared to Kindle app but the design is really messed up. You recreated the display when you originally read it in and create a different version. This version scans the book and messed up the text with it losing spaces along with smashing the individual chapter headings with the following text of the story. Frequent insertion of mn and 0 where it replaces a o.
You should maintain the original version and use your speech feature highlighting the paragraph as written as already do that against the revised file.
The second problem is if like myself I use my phone when I'm out or driving as this makes listening in the car easier and when home I use my tablet. The biggest issue is that it doesn't save the location in the book or share to the same account so I have to locate the same location on the other device depending on which device now accessing the book. It also doesn't update the location in the original Kindle file so you have to update the location in it also.
If all of my suggestions were made you could access Kindle file locate read to location and when finished reading update so regardless just opening the file either in your app or Kindle app you go to the last page.
You can leave the option that just shows the play button and pause button as it is since just reads the book.
Another bonus is you don't have to scan the book in, finding a specific page is easier since the pages match the original version.

Thank you for this long and detailed suggestion — I really appreciate you taking the time to write it all out.
Kindle comes with many limitations, and our preload approach tries to solve some of them, but of course it also brings disadvantages like you described with text formatting and navigation.
Right now I’m mainly focused on improving playback and making the app more stable.
Features like sync across devices and reading position syncing are things I’d like to focus on later. I agree they would make a big difference.
And of course I’m open to another approach if there is a better way to do it. If you find another app that handles this better, or something closer to what you described, please let me know — I’d genuinely like to learn from it.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback.

I understand the effort you have creating the program for all of my suggestions. I have a possible change that could really improve the transition from Kindle format to what you currently use as the final version, take the original spelling and spacing between each word in a sentence as the current method is introduces spelling mistakes in my representative to mny and two to tw0 errors plus words losing spaces between words.
If you can easily make the change to taking each word and spacing all the text would transfer cleaner.

Hi David,
I have not seen this issue on my side yet, but if I can reproduce it, it should be an to fix it .
I just emailed you so we can continue there and discuss it a bit more by email, as it may be easier to troubleshoot together.
Really appreciate your feedback — it helps improve the app a lot.
