Just upgrade to v1.5, and I think not worthy, this may be the most disappointing upgrade ever for Mantano(device samsung YP-G70, android 2.2.2)

one big bug in v1.5
when reading pdf in landscape mode , page fitted to width, swiping to the next page,you see the middle portion of next page,not the begining of it, which means that after you turn page,you have to drag down in order to read from the begining of next page.

besides ,I find page turning and dragging is not as smooth as v1.24.

For an ebook reader, reading experience is most essential, and version 1.5 seems to be a setback.

Regarding to page dragging and turning ,I thinik Mantano should learn from bluefire reader(a free application).
In bluefire reader, there are 4 page turning mode,you can choose the most comfortable one for eyes. when turning and dragging pages, there is no fading effect, texts are shown almost immediately.
I think the rendering method used by bluefire reader is most comfortable for eyes among all pdf readers in market.
