DiapDealer, thanks for the explanation. It probably is a deal breaker for me.

To avoid that issue, I would go back to an earlier version of Mantano, but the cover problem has been going on for quite a few versions now -- for at least a month. I've written them a few times, and they claim they can't replicate the problem, though they did acknowledge the problem in the initial reply I got from them. So I need to follow up with them on that further because their mixed replies are a little confusing.

So far, I've only had the cover issue with epubs whose covers are very large -- over 2100 pixels on the long side. Can anyone with Mantano test this out on their side for me? Embed a cover in an epub that is at least 2400 pixels on the long side. Make sure the cover is actually embedded and not just assigned with Calibre. You can use "polish" or the "modify epub" plugin to embed the cover. Then import the epub into Mantano. Does the cover show up?

As for the forced closes and menus not appearing, that problem is just with the latest 2.4.5 version. I will reinstall Mantano from scratch later today to test and see if it fixes that.
