Thanks Anna. If I used the outline navigation method with my Braille display, does that work well for navigating through the text? It sounds like, from your description, if I use the first method and then flick left with the braille display that my focus would be taken to the next text that I scrolled to. Do I have this right? Also, one other related question, does the app remember your position in each file you read/edit?
