What happened?

In portrait mode on a phone, or if you make the browser window less than 640px, the arrows disappear from the epub reader, making it impossible to turn the page (at least as far as I can tell)

When rotated into landscape mode, the arrows show up, but that's not really how I want to read on my phone 😅

What did you expect to happen?

I would have expected to be able to either swipe the page to the next page, or maybe tap on the sides to the next page, or that there would be arrows or some other way to turn the page

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Open an ePub in a browser
  2. Reduce Page width to less than 640px

Audiobookshelf version

v2.23.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Safari on iOS

Logs


Additional Notes

Reproduced in:
iOS Safari
iOS Firefox
MacOS Firefox (Reduce window width to less than 640px)
MacOS Safari (Reduce window width to less than 640px)
