			Thanks - but when/why would one use Pages in chapter in preference to Position in chapter, i.e. what's the design intent of having both. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	A terracotta clay tablet might be better for 'Paged mode'. More in keeping with the scroll. Clay tablets predate papyrus scrolls and they last longer    BR  |

			Position and pages are different kinds of metrics like location and pages on a kindle. Which you prefer is your choice and you can excercise that preference at  the book or the chapter level. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	@comfy: the icon is just the unicode character for page U+1f5cf unfortunately the unicode standard in their infinite wisdom didnt make it an "emoji" so it renders smaller depending on the interface font.  |

   ditch the mouse scroll wheel. a tap of the spacebar triggers a page change without losing your place (just like a real paper book page turn)  |
