When I quit the app, why is it still running in the background?

The term Page-Turner is often misapplied. I rarely find any books genuine page-turners.

The Cuckoo's Egg is the exception. Such a fantastically well-written book! Thanks Cliff!

The Swallows and Amazons series is wonderful! Highly recommended.
