Books App orientation issue

I have 2 IPads, Air and 6th Gen, and it happens in BOTH Ipads.

I am reading a Zane Grey book(EPUB). If the reading orientation is portrate, the full chapter is displayed, but if I turn the orientation to landscape, some of the chapters lose up to a third of the chapter.

Typically I read in bed after my wife is asleep, so I read in landscape, and I didn't notice that before this weekend. If the issue was at the end of a paragraph, or a sentence that had a peroid, I might not have noticed. There were another 6-8 pages that weren't displayed in Chapter 6. There were 10 missing paragraphs at the end of Chapter 7, 4 pages missing at the end of Chapter 8, and 9 pages missing at the end of Chapter 9.

It was just an unpunctuated word, in the middle of a thought, that made me notice. It doesn't happen in EPub Reader app.

The book is a Guttenberg, in public domain.

The error was in chapter 7, line 243 on a blank line. My Calibre book editor did not correct this line, nor report that this was an error. I found 7 other such errors.

Go ahead and close this issue.

Thanks for the help.

If this is happening with all books in the Books app, close the app and do a force restart. If it is just this book see if a new download helps.

Close an app on your iPad – Apple Support (AU)

Force restart iPad – Apple Support (AU)

You could also delete the Books app and download a fresh copy.

If nothing fixes it send feedback to Apple: Product Feedback - Apple

Glad you figured it out!

This is a user-to-user forum. The Hosts will lock a thread after it has been inactive for, if I recall correctly, thirty days.

Where did you get the eBook from? It may have formatting issues that Books is sensitive to. Do you have the same problem with all eBooks? Have you tried books from other sources?
