I set page number on top, yet it shows on the bottom. It also clashes horribly with the background. I'd prefer it having the same colour as my text and the same background (instead of white on black)
Also, the page number is shown over the text (honeycomb bar pushes it upwards). I have the same in the current version of Mantano, which is why I turned it off. (margins are 5 all around)
A last thing, please, please, please, please, please, let me turn off that fake book background. It's eating screen real-estate. I read from an electronic device, and as I mentioned at the start, I don't want to read a fake paper book. So, that means no fake pages on the right side of the screen neither.
I put two screenshots up, the first is from the current Mantano, the second from the beta. Settings (except colours) are the same:
Font: default
Line height: 1.2
Text alignment: default
Margins: 10
Yet with the original version of Mantano, my lines are slightly longer and I find easier to read.

I haven't tried the beta, but based on the description and screenshots, I agree with all of this. I have no interest in LARPing the act of reading on paper, particularly if it erodes the advantages of reading on an electronic device.
