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

Sometimes navigating for skip forward and back can be difficult or time consuming, especially with single-file books, it can take many presses of the back and forward buttons find a position.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow the back and forward buttons to be customised, i.e. rather than just 10 seconds, add a setting than allows this to be changed, with options for 15, 20, 30 and 60 seconds.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A couple of options, but I'm not sure if they are feasible with the UI kit it uses:

  1. Adding additional back and forward buttons, each with a different speed, or
  2. Keeping the current button pressed, will repeat the back and forth, rather than having to re-tap it.

Thanks

This is already supported in Android and iOS. Maybe you have some really old version?
