Several of us at work are looking for a better alternative to iBooks, and I have a few specific questions about MapleRead SE. I will forward the answers to the others here at work who are also looking to buy an e-book reading app.

We are all using the 12.9” iPad Pros and read in Landscape mode with two columns visible.

1. Is there an option for “Instant” page turns for both epubs AND PDFs in MapleRead SE? We all do a ton of reading and find any page turn effect to be very distracting, particularly when reading quickly or skimming a book or magazine. Marvin 3 has an “Instant” page turn style where the page advances (or moves back) immediately without any flip, motion, slide, or other effect. Is there a similar option available in MapleRead SE for both epubs and PDFs?

2. Each of us has many epubs and PDFs in our reading library ( all DRM-free ). One of the most frustrating facets of iBooks for us is its insistence on segregating epubs and PDFs when organizing one’s library. Suppose we want to have ten categories or tags in a library, and each category has some epubs and some PDFs. Does MapleRead SE treat epubs and PDFs the same when organizing a library? Or does MapleRead SE place PDFs in a separate heading and tab like iBooks?

3. Can MapleRead SE display PDFs in two columns in Landscape mode on the iPad Pro 12.9”?

Thanks in advance for any answers or insights!
