Blossom, I need some advice. I just bought a Nexus 7.2 to use primarily as a control unit with my Canon dSLR camera. Apple iOS would have been better, but I didn't want to lug around my iPad 3. I'm already having to lug around all the camera gear.

Any way, I went to put Mantano on the Nexus 7, but the free version is crap and they now have two paid apps ($2.99 and $6.99) but their website is so piss poor that it is not at all clear which one has what. Apple would never let them get away with that crap, but I guess Google doesn't care. I want the least I need to pay for. I just want to be able to select between fonts and use my own embedded fonts on occasion. Will the $2.99 version do this. BTW, I don't care about their cloud as I won't be using it.

Also just FYI, I installed the Kindle for Android app. What a POS!!! I sure hope the Fire's reading app is way better. The Kindle for Android app has only one font, doesn't sync highlights or notes in personal docs, etc. It must be the worst of the Kindle apps.
