Thank you for the long press tip. Somebody has to ask for it...

I have been using MuPDF to read custom PDF with Koreader for quite a long time. It's an excellent reader, much better than the standard one on Kindle.

The ePub reader with MuPDF shares most of the good features of the PDF reader and displays precisely the text and the fonts. Links to endnotes are working very well. Image display is OK.

However there is a stumbling block: it is absolutely necessary to allow the user to select the font-size without "reformating". I could hardly read the text and really needed a magnifying glass. If I "reformat", I find the new display ugly.

Two other things I noticed:
1. - hyphenation is missing
2. - linebreaks are way too big and must be corrected.

So, quite a promising start for an experimental feature. Thanks for giving us a choice of rendering engines.
