Description
**Problem**
I borrowed this book: https://archive.org/details/ellaenchanted00levi_1/page/117/mode/2up
Started ReadAloud on one page,
then flipped to a later section of the book and hit Play again.
It continued reading from the first page.
**Expectation**
When a user pauses read aloud on one page, then flips to another page and restarts read aloud - read aloud should start at the new page.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the ReadAloud behavior in the BookReader using the linked Ella Enchanted page: start reading, navigate to a later page, pause, and press Play again. Trace the ReadAloud entry point and verify that restarting after navigation begins on the current page rather than the original one.
