Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is difficult for me to select the scrub bar [the progress bar that you can control location of playback in a book] without accidentally starting to switch apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think a good solution could be to swap the location of the scrub bar with the bookmark/ playback speed/ sleep timer/ menu bar [see photo], but I'm sure someone else more creative than me could come up with a more creative solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The solution could also be to add a small amount of buffer between the bottom of the screen and the scrub bar, or even just to add some haptic feedback so I can tell when I have gotten ahold of the scrub bar. It could also help if the scrub bar was slightly larger.

As always many thanks to the developers, this is an awesome project!
