seanos, unfortunately, most of the advanced options for Mantano are available only in the paid versions. On Google Play they list what is available with each version. But I can confirm:
- You can install your own fonts easily. Once installed, you apply them through the themes.
- You can use any colors for the background and text you want when creating themes. So you can create your own night mode theme and are not stuck with a stark white-on-black theme.
- You can deactivate the change in font size when swiping up and down.
- You can tap on the images and then pinch and zoom to expand them. You can also rotate them.
- In the library view there is an option to view recently added books OR recently read books.
I think some of these features are available in the free version as well. You just need to explore the interface a little more. But as I said, look at Google Play -- or go to Mantano's website -- to see what is available in each version.
I agree that it would be nice if Mantano had a static page indicator (as well as time and battery percentage indicator) at the bottom of the page. But I compared all the available readers and found that Mantano had the most features that I wanted. It wasn't even close. It didn't have everything I was looking for, but it had the most. I did have to pay for the premium version, however. But I figured since it's a one-time fee and I would use the reader a lot, it would be well worth it.
