I like to read in landscape and with other reading apps I never know how to turn the phone when flipping it, so I always end up having the app upside down when I flip the phone. I expect that when I settle on one particular app I will get used to that and will learn the flip the phone the right way. The phone will function as my ad-hoc, out-of-house reading device 90% of the time.
YotaReader will revert to displaying the cover of the book you are reading on the e-ink screen after certain time. I miss the option to display the author and title on the status line, so I like this functionality as a replacement. With e-books it can be difficult to remember the title and author of the book you are reading - especially if it is a book by some previously unknown [to you] author. On the other hand, if I liked to read racy bodice rippers, or whatever controversial book, I would have to use Calibre to replace the cover with something generic  |
do not agree, you just press the lateral hardare button and then is swipe to unlock the default Widget screen. No need to revert the phone to the amoled side. And still much way faster than resuming on the majority of the ereaders. it takes me less than 2 sec to go back to the reading point. Also I am not sure if you can set a delay even bigger than the let's say 20 minutes.
Regarding the books secrets you do not want to show, you can just press the soft button home screen, going back to the book will take you two small taps.
Regarding the portrait landscape mode, the easiest way is to use a sw that set the landscape and portrait directly like moon+reader, it really depends by the apps, but if I well recall there are also some general settings to block the screen, depending i guess by the version you have, but not remember that
