Log an introduction on its roman-numbered pages
If a book has an introduction numbered in roman numerals, you can now log it as printed. The page field takes a roman page such as xiv, your place reads the way the book prints it, and ReadingRate asks whether you read the introduction or skipped it, so those pages count only if you read them.
Available on web and iOS.
Scholarly editions can carry sixty pages of introduction before page 1. A log that only knows arabic numbers either loses those pages or shifts every page after them, so that the page 10 in your hand is no longer page 10 in the app.
Siri, the share sheet and a connected assistant accept and say roman pages too.
What it can't do
- If you skipped the introduction, its pages stay out of your count.
- Percentages count the whole copy, introduction included.
