This did help but I’d like to know how to get back to the last page read after looking at a bookmarked page. I don’t want to have to guess where I was. For example, I return to a bookmarked map, then want to return to where I was. How do I do that?

When I tap the top of the screen I don’t get the info across the top as it shows. I used to however now I have something different. The only bookmark I see is an outline of one and it says “go to”.
Help!

I have had the same experience. It is very frustrating. Sometimes I can’t even make a bookmark because when I tap the screen, nothing comes up.
i keep following directions but it doesn’t work the way the instructions describe.

I bookmark a page on a novel but when I go back a try to find it I have to flip through the entire ebook. Is there an easier way to find my bookmark?
