This is great! I would love an explicit "set bookmark to here" button if I scroll up from the high watermark

I discovered the reset, but it took a minute and I expect given the way I read being able to explicitly walk the high watermark back a bit would be nice (maybe that's doable if you select text? I didn't try!)

The format is nice, I love standard ebooks

I opened Moby Dick but didn't see how to listen to it on my phone, not sure what the status of the "listen" effort is.

I listened to some books from standard ebooks using eleven labs, but I'm really excited about a better implementation

moby dick didn't align properly, there's a confidence gate it didn't pass.

i know, it makes me sad too, i'll keep working on it

this is the list of everything: https://tale.fyi/audiobooks

librivox is all human volunteers, so i think it makes a difference from eleven labs, but i might add a fallback to ai readings for folks who want that

reset feedback noted!
