Two things could be better on my phone:
- after some time, one or two hours, the app is closed, I suppose by the android OS.
Restarting it brings me back at the main menu, but 9 times out of 10 I want to continu reading the book I was reading, so it would be great if Mantano on startup would just continu where it was left, or, perhaps even better, make it an option: on start go to main menu/book last read.
- on my Note the steps between fontsizes feel slightly too large, more fontsizes would be great.

Apologies if this has been said before, reading al 50+ pages of this threat, mostly referring to now obsolete versions of the app was not an attractive option.
I am also a recent owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note and so far Mantano is my favourite reading app. I have not experienced Mantano shutting down on me at all, however I don't read on the phone for extended periods.

I have found it useful that I am able to set a shortcut icon on the home sceen to my current book(s) with current position.
Long-press on homescreen - Shortcuts - Mantano - choose book

Or if you prefer, Mantano Settings - Notification to access your last read book from the Notification bar.

By the way, I agree with you that the steps between font-sizes are a bit too large.
