Hi Hyphenreader!

Thanks so much for increasing font-size options. This is excellent. In fact, all the customization options in Hyphen are truly excellent.

Thanks also for adding the "Reduced animations" option. Alas, I'm still finding it uncomfortable to read with Hyphen as "Reduced animations" results in the "notorious page flash," which I see from your GitHub roadmap that you're aware of. (Interesting that this is the same page-flash I see on Marvin with page-turn style set to "None," which is why I stopped using Marvin.)

Also, "Reduced animations" only works with the page tap, not the swipe. If I read one-handed holding my iPhone in my right hand, it's fine. I can easily tap the right margin with my thumb. But if I read holding iPhone in my left hand, I can't reach the right margin one-handed and have to swipe. If you're considering adding customizable tap zones, this would solve this particular problem.

I see on your GitHub roadmap that you're planning on adding more page-turn options. Hopefully one of those will work better for me. (I'm particularly fond of Bluefire Reader's "Fade" and the Kindle for iOS's page-turning animation. Strangely, Marvin's "Fade" option looks almost the same as Marvin's dizzying "Slide" options.)

I eagerly await your next release to see if there are new page-turn enhancements. If so, I will likely switch to Hyphen as my main ereading app.

Thanks!
