When, however, the book is properly formatted, I don't want Moon+ to change anything, and I can't find a way to do that.

My specific problem is that I can't get Moon+ to obey the first line indents that are specified in the book. If I don't have the "Indent first line" option checked, I get no indents on any paragraph. If I do have it checked, I get indents on every paragraph. What I want is to obey what the book actually has, which is no indents on initial paragraphs, and indents on subsequent ones.

Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Harry;

There is a way for Moon+ to observe the styles built-in in one ebook but is well hidden. You have to do the following:

1. Load the ebook.
2. Tap in the center of your tablet screen in order that the menu appears in the bottom.
3. Tap in the Options icon (the last one on the right side).
4. Select "Miscellaneous".
5. ENABLE "Show 'Preview with publisher formatting' Button on top bar".
6. UNCHECK "Disable CSS styles".


Steps 5 and 6 are the keys in order to get what you want, but still you must do something more (and very important).

7. Go to your ebook, tap in the center of your tablet in order that Moon+ shows the top bar and TAP IN THE ICON ON THE RIGHT (is similar to a monochrome gear icon).

Of that way you are enabling the "Preview with publisher formatting". Now you'll see the book as you want BUT (and is an important BUT) you only will be able to use vertical scroll and can't use your own fonts and other settings.

IMHO, I think Moon+ is not a good app reader; if you want to see a good ebook layout, dropcaps, etc., etc. then you need to enable "Preview with publisher formatting" but of that way you can't use a personal font, you can't change margins, only have vertical scroll, etc., etc. I think PocketBook Reader is much better since you can retain a perfect ebook layout while you can modify fonts, margins, you can manage "widows" and "orphans", etc., etc.

Regards
Rubén
