@ Joseph
Thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed reply. I have been waiting for the next release, as many of the requested features on your support desk will address many of the points I brought up. With your additional info, it sounds wonderful
As for the book covers, I've not been able to update them in the current release.
The column zoom does indeed work -- this is my bad, I had tried it with a PDF that I've been having trouble with and it didn't work. I hadn't thought to try it on another PDF. I just now tried it again on a few other articles, and it works fine.
As for the other dictionaries I have, I have mistakenly left the impression that I have a number of other dictionaries on my tablet. I do have colordict and the free version of Merriam-Websters, and a couple of the embedded dictionaries available in Mantano. I have several dictionaries, mostly in mobipocket format, on my laptop/desktop, but I haven't transferred these dictionaries over to the tablet. To my knowledge, there is no android reader that can integrate mobipocket dictionaries, or even handle them as a dictionary and use the word indexing. I'm willing to buy replacements in another format, but only if a dictionary interface is at least somewhat standardized for interaction within an application. I don't see this as a specific Mantano Reader issue.
The default language problem I have since dug into this a bit and found it is a problem with the books themselves. They have the value set to something that I presume isn't included in what Mantano x-refs for the language. These are limited to only a few books, a few from the forums here and some bought from Baen Webscriptions. The values were 'US English (en-us), 'UND', 'undefined', and '_'. I'll fix the books and readd them to the Mantano Reader. I only stumbled upon this in the first place because I was playing around with TTS.
Again, thanks for your reply, and I'm looking forward to the next release.
Regards,
Peake
