iOS10 Breaks Siri reading eBooks – OverDrive: eBooks & audiobooks Review

The overdrive team is super responsive to feedback and fixing bugs as they come up. Some complaints about updates breaking the app should be updated to reflect when fixes are released; often in a day or two. The update of iOS 10 breaks a previously useful function for overdrive: Siri reading ebooks. Before iOS 10, using the two finger pull down gesture caused Siri to start reading from the beginning of the chapter to the end of the chapter you were in at the time of the gesture. Ideally, Siri would start from the page you are on, but beginning of chapter worked well enough. After upgrade to iOS 10, Siri starts at the info panel / overview / TOC of the book rendering the feature useless unless starting and completing a book in one setting. Kindle and iBooks work in the ideal fashion even after upgrade. Hopefully Overdrive will update the app to work with iOS 10 and Siri.
