To make Freda provide the scrolling experience you want:
1) in the settings screen set 'page change motion' to 'slide'
2) in the settings screen set 'swipe to select' to 'no'
3) on the reader screen, drag your finger vertically
The page will move as you drag your finger, and when you stop moving your finger it will stop moving - so you can easily position the pages with the bottom of one page and the top of the next page both on the screen together. Freda will still show page numbers - but if you want to get rid of them too, go into the settings screen and set 'page # style' to 'none'.
Right now, you can see this functionality in the Windows 10 app 'Freda-Chinese'; it will come to 'Freda' and 'Freda+' in the next few days (just as soon as I have finished writing the documentation).
Hope that helps; if you need more, please let me know (jim@turnipsoft.co.uk)
P.S. The Windows 10 Freda app also makes it somewhat easier to add and manage annotations (though it calls them 'bookmarks') |
I really do appreciate from the bottom of my heart that at least 1 developer is willing to make a decently featured windows ebook reader. Of all the 4 modern/metro apps I tried, freda was the only one which loaded the epub file properly.
But, the thing is, when I bought my laptop, it came with windows 8. The first thing I tried was update it to 8.1. But got stuck on a boot loop and I had refresh my laptop on day 2 after buying it. Because of that, I gave up the idea of updating. Now that my PC has over 40 plus software(all of them I use at least once a month), I'm pretty sure I'm going to run into compatibility issues if I upgrade this soon. But anyway, it's not anyone else's fault. As I said before, I really do appreciate the effort after having such an experience with other ebook readers.
