I made a query ("read") and the only relevant topic is "Marked as read".
Given a paperback novel, I would start at the front and if I could not finish in one seating, I would use a bookmark or scrap paper to remind me later where I left off. (I sometimes still have the odd habit of leafing from the back with magazines.)
As of now, the Read button is only correct the first time, when we have not yet begun reading anything from a series. Subsequent readings will have us consulting the index. This is not an inconvenience when there are 50 or fewer chapters or when our tick marks are within the last 50 entries. Any series with more than 50 entries would mean making at least one extra server request to find our bookmarks.
The Read button could jump to the next chapter if the first chapter has already heen bookmarked. Optionally, it could be disabled when there are no remaining unread chapters.
