MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - ebook-viewer has lost its borders and much of its functionality

Whining is counter-productive?????

Let's be clear...

Up to version 3.48 there was a functional configuration bar on the left side of the viewer that took little room. Any user could quickly use a mouse click to:

Copy
increase or decrease font size
open TOC
toggle full screen
page forward or back
set of move to a bookmark
set preferences
load a theme

and more...

This is called FUNCTIONALITY. No one is arguing you can't search through Calipre and figure a way to do each of these things. The argument is that is used to be all in one convenient place.

You call this Whining? No ... it more like calling it what it is ... a giant step backward.

This app has gone from the gold standard in ebook management and reading to an 'also ran'. I suggest you stop cheering on this retrograde ... and guide the author to put it back on track.
