I Didn't Know This Could Be Done ...
FWIW ...
Perhaps this is well known to other Android users, it wasn't for me. I offer it just in case it is unknown to others.
I do my casual Logos reading on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet (Android ver. 4.2.2) using the latest Bible app beta (currently 4.0.13). In the past it has always been frustrating annoying that the text that I am reading splits and required a page turn. IOW, if I am studying, say, Rom 3:21-26, verses 21 thru 24 might be on one page while verses 25 thru 26 appear on the next page forcing me to flip back and forth between the two pages.
However, I happened to discover that if I place my thumb and index finger on the screen and swipe with my index finger either up or down (while keeping my thumb in the same location on the screen), I can reflow the text so the the entire section of vv. 21 thru 26 appears on the same page.
Not only does this enhance study but it also helps Notes and Highlighting.
Instead of Artificial Intelligence, I prefer to continue to rely on Divine Intelligence instructing my Natural Dullness (Ps 32:8, John 16:13a)

Yes, a two-finger scroll will move the text one line at a time. Very useful for highlights.

You don't even have to keep your thumb in the same place. Two-finger vertical scrolling also works in Android now.
JRS, I love your choice of tablets. I have a Note 8.0 too.

It should surprise no one if I am the last to learn about the two-fingered scroll ...my kids are convinced that not only am I a technological dinosaur but well on the way to fossilization. I even tried to buy my youngest daughter (now 23 yo) a wristwatch a year ago or so ... duh.
