Reading Position Memory

Bookil automatically saves your reading position, so when you open the PDF again, you can continue from where you left off.

tip

Since Bookil maintains its own reading history, you can resume reading from the same location even if you import the PDF again after deleting it from your device.

Table of Contents

If the PDF contains a table of contents, you can access it by tapping the Table of Contents button. This displays a list of chapters and sections, allowing you to jump directly to any section by tapping on it.

After tapping the screen, a seek bar appears at the bottom. You can easily navigate to any page by dragging the slider.

Auto Completion

When you reach the last page of a PDF, Bookil automatically marks it as "Read" (completed). This helps you keep track of which documents you've finished without any manual effort.
