Mantano's resetting the trial did not work for me since I think I reviewed it about 1month ago. So I decided to buy it.
After using Mantano, I had forgotten how bad Moon+ was a rendering the original text. I guess it didn't effect me to much since Moon allows the user to change the layout so much... maybe too much as all the books looked identical to me.
I really like Mantano's UI it's very easy to use and well laid out. Moon is a UI clunky and does get some getting use to. My only grip with Manano's UI is selecting a book always opens the "Add a tag" and selecting multiple Annotations is VERY difficult. This is really more the nooks fault but still annoying.
You are right they have really enhanced the text selection on the app. It is very easy to select text, I did not struggle once to highlight any text, it's even thought the nook has some blind spots. The social posting is better, adding book, chapter and page number is nice--though page number on ebooks makes no sense. I rather like the Kindles location counter better than page numbers.
Moon's still has a better dictionary solution Mantano is still awkward to use. I like how the Kindle and Moon open a a dialog box that does not take over the screen.
Still no image viewer, Moon does not have one, but the preview mode at least lets one zoom in.
Moon's TTS is still much much better than Mantano, Mantano TTS is very basic and near useless. Hm I wonder if their TTS works for Adobe DRM Books?
No ODPS browser there is no way do directly import my books from calibre to Mantano. I'm going to have to download the book from the browser and import. Not a deal breaker but it's a convince I really enjoyed having in Moon+.
Moon has one unique feature I've yet to see other readers implement and that is page scrolling. As much as I hated this features when I started reading with the Moon+ reader it's something I've come to really enjoy. I find scrolling the page up/down is much easier to read than having to move your eyes up/down and swipe to advance to the next page.
As a PDF reader Mantano is horrible, it's better than nothing but does not compare to ezPDF nor RelpiGo.
In the end I don't know which reader I like better. Each one has different features I really like and dislike.
