I download all the various Android reading apps from time to time (the ones people talk about anyway) just to see if any of them have changed enough to grow on me, but so far no dice. Mantano suits me well. The very rare occasions that I've ever had any trouble with it were almost invariably due to wonky books. And I'm perfectly happy to fix the occasional wonky book.

(I also don't hesitate to uninstall the app, delete the database and all the extra files that the uninstall leaves behind, and re-install from scratch if things get weird after many, many accumulating updates).

Funny you should mention that. Several years ago Mantano was my go to reader then I ran into some issues causing me to switch. Yesterday tried it again and now I am thinking about going back. I have never been completely happy with the font collection but on the other hand as an all around book reader - organizer, I think it's the best.

I'm pretty sure you can add your own fonts to Mantano.

In the root directory you will find the Mantano folder. Open it and place your fonts in the fonts folder.

Thanks for the tip Jabby I will give it a try

Kudos to Mantano who after PayPal didn't correctly cancel my Sub to their Cloud subscription last year even though it said it was. I got $10 taken out yesterday. Sent a quick email asking for a refund and got one right away.

I haven't use the Cloud service in ages. I found it too unreliable and it like to corrupt my books.

Anybody figure out how to make these newest versions of Mantano always show the full library, instead of defaulting to the "Currently Reading" and the "Recently Added" filtered views (talking about the Book Shelf)? It's a tiny thing, but it bugs me. "Home" should show my preferences; I already know what I'm currently reading and I don't care what you think is "New and Noteworthy."

Others are complaining about this and ads for books being on the latest version.

I can see why. I don't even care so much about the book promotions. My beef is that the "Import" utility is now an extra tap away when I fire up Mantano for the first time. The View settings, Refresh and Import options should be right there where I want them to be. Nevermind the fact that "Currently Reading" and "Recently Added" are utterly useless to me. I just want my Bookshelf. Where do I need to go to bitch about it?

Google Play and Mantano Support site.

Tanjamuse · 12-20-2014, 01:08 AM

I wrote to them yesterday, and asked that they at least make it something that could be turned of.

I'll be back when I hear from them.

DiapDealer · 12-20-2014, 09:19 AM

Do you still need to have a Google+ account to rate and comment on apps in the Play Store?

Tanjamuse · 12-20-2014, 09:20 AM

Yes, but I've contacted the Support via their homepage
