Hi Donna, Yes, I tried different chapters and different pages within different chapters, and also the recipe index at the back. Even the recipe index did not read well. This was a phone and an iPad. The only thing that red worth a darn was the contents, once I took it out of the stupid default page of you and made it a list. I wonder why you can't set that automatically and make it stick somewhere, so that all tables of contents always come up as list view if that is your preference.
