MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - New Reader with great pdf-support: Mantano Reader (like aldiko+ezpdf)

At present I use Moon+ for books (epub) and ezPDF for mags. I was hoping Mantano could replace both. Alas, it doesn't seem so.

I find the interface messy and find myself switching all the time between main page, filter and views. It seems any organisation will have to be done manually as the only stock option appears to be to sort the whole collection rather than sort them into categories. I would have to create collections for authors which in most readers is a standard category.

All my books are tagged with Calibre but none of the tags come through to Mantano. How do I use 'series' as advertised, also, although I can add tags, I can't find a way to filter by them.

As far as pdfs go, it just doesn't render as well as ezPDF, fonts are not nearly as sharp.
