iBook bookmarks

i’ve had problems with the bookmarks as well. The problems are 1. Bookmark a page it saves it to the last bookmark. I.e. if at pg. 285, I would bookmark it and it will show the last bookmark being at 274. I can’t get it bookmark the current page even if I erase all past bookmarks.

2.why don’t you have a function to delete all bookmarks at once, I like to read my books over a couple of times.

3. how come you can’t double tap the bookmarks to delete them anymore.

this app operates worse than when I first started using it!

4.a current problem I’ve had is if I double-tap the bookmark it will lock up the app! I then have to delete it and reinstall it all! My iPhone then consumes power to the point of it getting warm almost hot? What do I do about this?

Things to try…

…Update iOS to current, iOS 16.5, and test again.

… Delete the book, force a restart, and try again.

… Delete the Books app, force a restart, and try again.

… If you use it, shut off Books access to iCloud, wait a minute or so for iCloud to re-sync the change, force a restart, and re-enable Books access to iCloud

Also…

Send your (2) and (3) Apple Books feedback to Apple, as they may or may not read postings here.

PS: There were versions of Books just at and after iOS 16 that allowed a single-finger double-tap to set a bookmark. That was very handy, but it got removed in an update to iOS 16. I logged product feedback on that change, too.

Thank you for your response! Though I have to say I already tried these steps!

I believe these are just glitched in the software app that over time and use collect junk! The glitches continue over time accumulating to where you need to use the steps you gave to clear it out! It’s just any nuisance!

Again, thank you though!
