I think it was just a quick update since the date on the Play Store was not changed. Heck I think I have updated at least 2 times since the most recent(date shown on Play Store)major update
I did the update on the 20th then I received 2 maybe 3 more update notifications after this update, which I thought was odd, but who knows.

But how do you update if the update date hasn't change? I have notification turned off for everything so I don't know how that works. The Play store shows 2.3.1 as being the current version and that came out on 12-20.

Sorry took me so long to get back to you. When you go to the Play Store it will still show the same date & version, but you should see where it says uninstall or update

Just want to say thanks for the high res downloads - they are fantastic.

I'm now testing out a mix of the canvas texture + roboto slab regular (http://www.1001fonts.com/roboto-slab-font.html#styles) which seems to be nicely readable.

Thanks, I going to give that font a try. I really like the canvas texture when at the gym, seems to eliminate the glare from the florescent lighting.

Ok, this seems like something I should know.....I can turn the brightness down on my tablet, but it remains unchanged in Moon+ Pro. Is there a separate setting somewhere in Moon to lower the brightness? I can't find it.

Oh for goodness sake. I tried to find it one more time, and I found it.

For others who may be looking, it's in settings, more operations, and all the way at the bottom, brightness.

You can add it to the menu toolbar or you can just swiped the left edge of the screen.

I may be dense, having just started with Moon+ Reader Pro, after trying many other readers out there for a variety of Android devices... I just assumed that MPRP would remember the position where I'd read up to, as other programs seem to automatically do.
Sometimes it does, but maybe only 5 times out of 7. Otherwise, I have to try to do that manually, and usually end up reading a few pages that I've already read until I can find my place once again. I'm getting in the habit of bookmarking where I'm leaving off (which always seems to automatically return me to that spot...) but as I sometimes forget to do this, is there some kind of option/setting that I'm missing that might auto bookmark where I've gotten to in my reading? I'd find that mondo-useful. Thanks from the newest newbie on the block. Ken

I've never had that happen. Even books that I delete and re-add still open to where I left off. I used to be able to have my place saved on a different device, but that hasn't worked for me for a long time. I rarely do that so it's not a real problem, but it would be nice occasionally. I think it stopped when I started using Calibre Companion.

Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping that someone can find a solution. Otherwise I'm going to have to do the bookmark thing every time I stop reading... just like with a 'real' book.. Ha!

I would back up Moon+ and all books from it, then uninstall it, and re-install, bacause I have never seen the issue you mention. Definitely not Moon's everyday behaviour.

[AnemicOak]

Also never had that happen that I recall. I suppose you can try emailing the dev at seanyword @ gmail.com but I'd guess an uninstall/reinstall will be the first thing you're asked to try.

Another "solution" might be to set it up to sync location via DropBox and see if that helps it remember things. Not a real solution to the overall problem, but might be something that works besides bookmarks.

Which version are you using the lastest? It's the pro or free? I am guessing this is happening on your Transformer?

Syncing via Dropbox has worked well for me. I have Dropbox as an app and account on both my tablet and phone. In Moon+ (Pro), go to Settiongs, then Miscellaneous, and then (way down near the bottom of the list) enable "Sync reading positions via Dropbox". When I open a book for the first time on a device, before I close it I go down the the bottom of the Miscellaneous settings list and select "Backup." (With "Sync reading positions..." enabled, that initial manual backup may not be necessary but it can't hurt.)

Thanks for the replies. I've been using M+ Reader Pro 2.26, but now see there is an update to 2.3.3 and yes, I'm using the Transformer Pad. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app already. Strangely, since I've brought the issue up, it hasn't failed once (yet) to take me back to where I left off... sans bookmarks! I'm going to hope that it was a momentary glitch and has resolved itself, or will after I've updated (after my device backup is done).

I'm out of the country for the rest of the month and won't be able to participate here until I'm back home, but thanks again for your interest and help, folks. Ken
