Latest update is fantastic, a great step forward.
Still I remain 2 stairs because unfortunately does not solve the most elementary PDF problems:
* technical documents needs to be highlighted.phones do not have a big screen so the pdf needs to be put in reflow mode. So far so good. Mantano offers the possibility to highlight a PDF in reflow mode, moon+reader not, BUT onLongTouch() there are two HUGE issues
1) the word is not entirely recognized. really frustrating trying to work around for every single highlight how to include the entire word, while Moon+Reader, Repligo, and almost all the other PDF readers, offer the possibility to select THE ENTIRE word with a touch! This makes even not usable at all the dictionary! I cannot look up words taking 10 seconds each word trying to cover with the highlight all the word!
2) if I reflow the PDF text, the touch does not recognize AT ALL I have increased the fonts, so if I long touch on for instance x=40 y=200 the touch consider x=500 y=300 or something similar, in other words is completely out of tune the touch to highlight
3) minor issue: the list view that show the highlights will be nice if could be expanded on long touch so i can see all the content i have highlighted, so that i do not have to go to the exact point in the book then go back on the arrow right on the bottom, then press it, then press highligts, then scroll the list again. Also moon+reader offers a SUPER feature to filter by color the highlights, please consider to include it

Apart from these 3 points, great efforts have been made but user experience to highlight reflowed pdf( mobile=reflow per definition) is still not feasible at all. For the rest, great features, marvellous the dropbox integration, the notes, the research, changing covers, the graphic, and the smoothness is improved dramatically
keep up with the good job, but please make Bookari really a study PDF tool
