      Description

      This is a minor issue...

      At first when i pressed the "next chapter" i didn't immediately realize that it was "processing my action".
      i noticed then the "loader animation" in the top bar.

      I think it could be a good idea to enhance the "i am processing your action right now" feeling when changing chapters. either have the animation more visible or at a different location. possibly even removing the current content to emphasise that something is about to happen.
      (according to some research, i think, if an action takes more than 2 seconds without indication, the user feels that the application is unresponsive... but i might have the number wrong..)

      One option would be to replace the current text with a message that the next content is being loaded.
      or then, if it is not too cumbersome to implement, have the next content sliding in (and the animation taking about as long as the loading of content takes, approx 5 sec on my iPhone).

      However, it might be a good idea the have the next and previous chapters cached, so that they would emerge quicker when the user want's tp view.
