Mr. Baylor, thank you for fixing the iPad Pro display issue in 3.01.

I submitted the following review in the AppStore for MapleRead SE and plan to post the same review soon at other app sites:

We’ve been waiting ages for a competent and well-designed iPad e-reader which handles both epubs AND PDFs. MapleRead SE finally ended this wait. By far the best and most elegant e-reading app available. Developer is active on the app’s mobileread forum thread and responds to bugs and feature requests promptly. He added “instant” page turns and two-page PDF viewing in Landscape, both of which are huge for us. I have NO affiliation with MapleRead whatsoever, just appreciate a great app when I see it (which isn’t very often). Worth $20 easy in my opinion.

We do have one small feature request. Could you enable MapleRead SE to retain the user’s viewing preference for PDF’s, as it does for epubs?

Each of us has a 12.9” iPad Pro, which is well-suited for double page viewing when in Landscape.

MapleRead SE allows this by choosing “Double Page Landscape,” but it does not retain this user selection. When I open any new PDF, it always opens in Single Page Landscape.

Furthermore, every time I select Double Page Landscape, the app shows the “Note that highlighting is not supported in Double Page Landscape View” warning, and the warning box must be tapped to close.

Could you allow the user to turn this warning off, or, perhaps, only show the warning once?

Thanks again for this magnificent app, Mr. Baylor. Gratuity sent, with more to follow.
