Problems with Browser View on iPad

[Grant837]

Hi,

When using the Browser Server to read (not download) I have these two problems, on an iPad Pro, both in Safari and Firefox:

1. For highlights/Notes I can not select more than one word. I can move the bars but they pop back to covering only the one word selected when I started the annotation mode.

2. For at least two epub files, I could, at first, only open the first page of any chapter. I could not access the remaining pages, except in random cases. I could page in backwards in Firefox, but not forward. I seemed to be able to fix the forward problem in Firefox by widening the margins to 40. But in Safari nothing I did helped.

3. A PDF file I tried to read is totally miss formatted... I remember having this problem with other PDFs earlier.

Any suggestions how to fix these. Especially #1?

My main need is to be able to sync my notes, highlights, etc back to my database. The browser view can do this sync if you are online and have access to your local server. If there is another way to do this across platforms (Windows, iOS, and Android), preferably also when offline, I would be pleased to hear about it. My db is in OneDrive - synced locally - so that can be part of the solution
