So I'm working on this hybrid audiobook/ebook setup. The page scrolls to follow the audio, keeping the section being read roughly in the middle of the page. Continuous scroll made me queasy, so instead it scrolls every few seconds.

I made a custom chapter selector rather than a dropdown box, because I'm an eejit prone to reinventing the wheel, when the wheel isn't aesthetically pleasing to me. Do you think it works? Or should I go trad on this part of the UI?

I'm really sorry, please take no offense, but it seems you're inventing the wheel. Have you ever considered DAISY? It's a format especially designed for this purpose, have text or/and audio at the same time, with as fine-grained navigation as you wish. daisy.org/
