Well this is definitely not a slow device and for sure faster than my phone, which is my main device for testing. So if my phone can handle those ~3700 in ~2 minutes, there is no reason for M5 iPad Pro to not handle this amount in even better time.

Please let me know with 2.4.2.

Yes, of course I will. But I can only test it again on Sunday.
Somehow I am happy that the problem is not only mine… but sorry for you

I just tried the new update. Now the speed is much better. 1000 Books books need about 2 minutes.

Syncing back and forth between my iPad and Calibre is working very well for me. However, I seem to have lost the sync between my iPad and iPhone since updating both devices to 2.4. Any tips on reestablishing that sync?

[petrjahoda]

Hello, do you please have both updated to the same version (as there were two minors in 2.4: 2.4.1 and 2.4.2)? I am still using both ipad and iphone and two other devices (in simulator) without any change in sync.

Hi lbrockmueller, the 2.4 update didn't change anything in the iCloud sync code, what likely happened is one of these, in order of probability:

1. iOS update at the same time. iOS 26.4 had a CloudKit push-delivery delay that Apple fixed in minor updates, do you have please that latest iOS update 26.4.2? The app already nudges sync on a timer while it's open, but if you only launch briefly, the push may not arrive in time. Workaround: open the app on the device that's behind, leave it on the Library tab for 30–60 seconds on Wi-Fi.

2. Sync engine state out of sync on one device. Inside the app, go to Library → tap the stats icon (chart) → CLOUD SYNC section. Toggle iCloud Sync off, wait ~5 seconds, toggle it back on. That destroys and recreates the engine and forces a fresh fetch.

3. Check Sync History. Same panel, Sync History button. Compare the last few entries on iPhone vs iPad, that tells me which device stopped pushing or pulling.

4. Background App Refresh. Settings → General → Background App Refresh → make sure it's on globally and on for justRead. If it's off, the device only syncs when you manually open the app. I think you have it on, just to be sure.

If the toggle off/on doesn't bring it back, send me a screenshot of the SYNC STATUS rows (engine status, iCloud account, last synced) from both devices please. That tells me which side is stuck.

A partial sync of the remaining 2577 books is taking a very long time. The first 300 have taken about 14 minutes...

With 2.4.2, first 300 now took 30 seconds...

Full 5684 (21GB) took 4:45 to sync into an empty library. A vast improvement, and back to what's probably a network speed limit. (About 600Mbps on wifi is really impressive!)

Hello pdurrant, thank you for this feedback.
So this one is fixed.
Sync is remaining.

As of the latest update, it seems like the pop-up menu when long pressing to highlight a word is t working correctly. It often doesn’t appear until after multiple attempts.

[petrjahoda]

Hello gustophersmob, this is something not touched from 2.2 and tested on multiple devices now and no problems here.
What device do you have please? Also do you have any accessibility settings on phone on?
Also... anyone else having this problem?

[lbrockmueller]

If the toggle off/on doesn't bring it back, send me a screenshot of the SYNC STATUS rows (engine status, iCloud account, last synced) from both devices please. That tells me which side is stuck.

Sent by email.

IOS 26.4.2, JustRead 2.4.2 (1):
After reading for a couple of hours, book won't go to next page (neither touch nor swipe). I restarted ipad, restarted JustRead, updated JustRead to 2.4.2, still won't go to the next page in that book.

[petrjahoda]

Other books are ok? So there is a problem with one specific book? If yes, can you send me that book via email to check what the problem with that book is?
Ans please also a screenshot of that last page that is working, so I can proceed from the problem.

No problem with the book in MapleRead SE and Marvin, or on my Mac reading in Calibre. It only happened after I'd been reading the same book for 2-3 hours. It has happened with other books in the past in earlier versions of JustRead, but restarting JustRead fixed them. I just tried deleting it and re-adding it, but still stuck. I can go to the following chapter and swipe back and see all the pages in between, but it still sticks on that page going forward.

I'm thinking I agree with you, that it is just that particular book. I'll try reading another book today for that long and see if it happens again. No need for you to spend time looking at it unless it happens again for a different book. Thanks.

Hi, I do not see it as time spent, in contrast I would love to look into it to find out what the problem is. If you can send the file, please do.
