I've run into a couple of bugs in my Glowlight 3 that I don't think have been mentioned here before. They're related problems and I've only been reading one book so far so they might have something to do with this book, although these problems don't occur with this book on my Kindle, Kobo or Glowlight Plus.

The first is that the double tap to jump to the next chapter works sometimes and fails other times. It usually fails when going back to a previous chapter. More often than not it'll go back 2 and sometimes 3 chapters. I found a couple of chapters I can't get to at all this way.

The other is that I can't reliably go to a chapter via the table of contents. Usually that works but on some chapters it consistently fails. There's one chapter in my book that I simply can't get to using either the TOC or the double press of the page button in either direction. But I have tried it on my Glowlight Plus and on my Kobo and the book's navigation works perfectly on them, as it does on my Kindle, although that's the original version from Amazon.

This likely has something to do with the book since it seems to happen in the same places. I've looked at the book in Calibre and I can't see any difference in the chapter headings and styles, although I don't know that much about epub or HTML so I may not know what to look for. Each chapter is in it's own file and each file begins with identical markup, at least to my eyes. I tried quickly jumping from one chapter to another but couldn't see anything changing from the beginning to the chapter numbers. I suspect this is a bug in the Glowlight 3.

Hopefully it'll be fixed in a later firmware. I'm using the most recent beta firmware posted in here.
