In terms of power and usability within the Android world, the real knockout right now is Moon+ Reader Pro. Moon+ as inspiration for Jim and other developers Don’t put so many options and adjustments immediately on the screen once people click on a gear on the home screen or otherwise reach the main page of the customization menu. The biggest change I’d like would be simplification of the customization menu structure via careful use of hierarchies with short text descriptions. Via the Kindle app, I can make a note on the selected text or share it without burrowing down.Īlso, Jim should make the text selection menu less cluttered and, for example, let us bookmark and do text to speech another way. On my Pixel XL, at least, the actions was a bit jerky, and I’d also welcome a better choice of options for the text you pick out.
Smoother selection of text would be another improvement. In a nutshell, vertical scrolling is doable but hardly optimal. Right now, you can vertically scroll if you set the border to 0, the page number style to none, and the text columns control to 1 for whatever orientation you’re using.
I would like easier vertical scrolling, too. If that capability is there, I’ve missed it. So what’s on your own to-do list for Jim? I myself also hope that Freda will let you use your phone’s volume controls to change pages, with the option to reverse the controls if need be for greater ease of use. Of course, you can also bring in Dropbox books by exporting them from the file-storage program to Freda. His app already offered some other nice accessibility features such as text to speech (easy changes of speed and pitch) and the OpenDyslexic font.įurthermore, Freda blends in smoothly with the Calibre ebook manager and OneDrive, and you’ll find Dropbox and other options if you tap the “+” button under the list of book sources. UK-based developer Jim Chapman welcomes your suggestions via the Turnipsoft forums or my urging, Jim has added an all-text-bold option, shown in use in the screen shot. Here’s the download page for Android version 4.22. Why not help out? To get a feel for the territory, check out TeleRead’s earlier writings about this program for ePub, FB2, HTML and TXT format books.
Once just for Windows, Freda is now available in the Google Play store for your feedback on a free beta version. Its Freda app plays up Project Gutenberg, other public domain sites, and those friendly to small publishers. Then you’d do well to help developers like Turnipsoft.
