What was the Problem?

Once a book is opened in the mobile app if the device's screen is rotated the book is not resized. This causes the text to either go half off the screen (if rotating from a landscape orientation to portrait), or for the text to only cover half the screen with the other half blank (if rotating from portrait to landscape). The issue resolves itself if you go back out of the book then open it back up.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open the e-reader for any e-book on the android app (may also occur for IOS, I'm not in the testflight so I can't test)
  2. With the e-reader open, rotate the device's screen and note that the text/page does not resize for the new orientation

What was Expected?

The e-reader should resize itself according to the current rotation of the screen as it does if you close the book, rotate, then re-open the book.
