This just seems very odd to me.
I have been reading a history book (Freedom From Fear) on an iPad mini with relatively long chapters. The average chapter length in time is something like 1 hour 20 minutes or so and I have been keeping track of where I was in the chapter by checking the remaining time. All of this worked very well until yesterday afternoon when I checked how much time was left in the chapter and saw 1 minute.
Since I was only about halfway through the chapter I knew this was wrong and skipped forward to the start of the next chapter to check the time for that one. Again, 1 minute. I then skipped back to some of the earlier chapters, which I knew to be well over an hour, and found 1 minute.
I shut down the Kindle app and restarted it. 1 minute. I shut down the Kindle app and rebooted the iPad. 1 minute. I loaded another book and found the chapter times correct, reloaded the original book and check again. 1 minute. No matter what I did I kept getting 1 minute (or in one case, 2 minutes). I thought I would remove and reinstall the Kindle app but it was late and I decided to wait until the next day (which was today). Today I loaded the book and checked and, lo and behold, 1 hour and 13 minutes in the chapter.
So the problem, whatever it was, seems to have gone away but I am left wondering what this might have been and what to do if it happens again. Has anyone else seen this? And, if so, does he or she have any answer as to what the problem is and how to fix it? My iPad is running 13.3 so I have not upgraded to the latest iOS version.
