Hi Wayne, An iPhone screen is smaller than a book page, so less text fits on it and more screens are erquired. Since you're reading with a braille display, I would suggest going into the settings and selecting the smallest possible font. That way, more text will fit on each screen, and you won't have to change screens as often.
