I think you're missing the point a bit. It's quite possible for an app that's fantastic for readers to be simultaneously awful for creators that are striving to create a particular look.
So no, I don't think Moon Reader's customers are idiots. I think they just care more about how they want their ebook to look, and less about how the author/publisher wants it to look. That may be as it should be in this electronic day and age, but it still doesn't change the fact that Moon Reader probably shouldn't be used by content creators to see how their code/css is going being rendered by reading apps.
My beef with Moon has always been that it fails to even attempt to show me an ebook in the way its creator wanted me to see it. Doesn't make it a bad app. Nor does it make me an idiot for wishing it did have a better "publisher mode." Just makes it the wrong app for me and some others.
And his statement was technically correct in the first place. Moon Reader
doesn't care how he wanted it to look. It cares about how its
users want it to look. So it's not really "blame"
per se, as much as it is acknowledgement. "Apps gonna do what apps gonna do. I can't change that."
It's OK for people to criticize your favorite Android reading app. Everybody has different needs.
