Your solution makes me wonder, is AdobeReader.apk the Adobe Acrobat Reader? That doesn't seem likely since I thought Acrobat Reader only opens pdf/acrobat files.

Maybe it's the same manufacture, but not the same thing.
I do not have the Likebook device to say for sure.
*But Adobe Reader downloaded by Google Store is not the same, that's for sure.

PS : But keep me informed; if you find a solution for the display problem with NEO_Reader please ;-)

- I have exactly the same problem, with the integrated BOOX reader (Onyx_Reader 3.0) since the new update 2.1. *. Too much spacing between lines (with all my books), alignment doesn't work properly or at all.

Spoiler:

- Either I use KOBO reader or Adobe Reader.
* Adobe Reader, pulled out of another package for another reader "AdobeReader.apk" from Update package for Likebook not from "BOOX Nova Pro" (I had to improvise)

Adobe reader (the same book / ePub) everything is well displayed :

Original Book :

Hello Michael,

Could you change the spacing with the menu even if the default display is bad ?

Hi Rendy

- Yes. But even with spacing configured as a minimum, the spacing is still pretty important.
- "Paragraph spacing" change nothing, not the spacing between the lines.
* For all the books I have (ePUB), not just Calibre or whatever.

- But when I format the same "ePUB" book to "PDF", no problem.
- "In the worst case" -> "see photos"
* Normal vs minimum line spacing.

- Nevertheless, on the other apparatus like: 'KOBO, INKPAD' the same books function perfectly well. Only on ONYX BOOX Nova (ePUB + Onyx_Reader 3.0) I have a special display, TOC not work coretly.
* I am shown ePub as if scattered (difficult to describe)

- Because of this, I use BOOX NOVA only for PDF files and I have to use a different "Reader / Inkpad 3, Kobo) for ePUB books.
*Just a little reminder of NeoReader. Onyx seems to me a lot weak in terms of displaying information global about the book, just "the page" (strict minimum), that's all. There could be at least % of reading, or remaining temp in the book...

PS : I leave you a book (AguaTM), so that you can test for yourself.
*I have deliberately removed some book pages from the book so that I do not violate copyright.

Thank you for your fast reply.

What's happen for the Max2 with NeoReader if I update to the 2.1.1 firmware ?

- After the update, you will have a version of V3.0 instead of V2.0
- Just when i bought "NOVA Pro", it was with Firmware 2.0.1 and NeoReader V2.0 and the display (ePUB) worked properly.
- 2.1.1 (NeoReader V3.0 includes ) brings a lot of novelties, it's up to you to decide
*It has its pros and cons. What disappointed me personally is that it is not possible to return from 2.1.1 back to 2.0.1.

PS : But I have to specify, that I have a Nova Pro. I can not say for sure for the MAX 2

[whopper]

librera pro for me.

columns on portrait mode is a must.

It looks like I'm going to use koreader and see how I like it. So far it seems to do what I want.

Michal, you might try it if you haven't already. Go to the koreader forum here for the link to the download. I had been ignoring it because I thought it was something specific for the Kobo but it works on multiple platforms, including Android.

Duh, brain wasn't working. You can get koreader from the Boox's apps page.
