In my opinion, Moon's publisher mode has never been that great at rendering things how other commercial epub reading apps tend to render them. Plus Moon's Publisher Mode is considered a "preview." One which you have to search to find the option that allows the Publisher Preview button to even be
shown on the title bar so you
can click it.
Look, I'm sure it works wonderfully for many. But for me, it takes way too many liberties with formatting and overrides right out of the gate. I have no problem with giving users the option to override anything and everything. I have a problem with everything already being overriden just by installing the app. It's a huge chore just for me to find my way back to "normal" from the installation defaults. I just want to be able to read my purchases close to the way they were published. And I want to be able to do so
by default.
Standard css first-line paragraph indents being disabled/overriden by default?? What sort of nonsense is that? Why would I have to "turn on" something that the book's css already had turned on? That's bass-ackwards to me.
I prefer an app that allows me to take the time to figure out how to "blow up" anything and everything I want to blow up in an ebook; not one that blows everything up from the get-go, and makes me figure out how to put most of it back together again.
Moon Reader+ seems great for those who have a vested interest in every ebook they open being presented in a very similar, very curated, very personal way. I'm happy for them. I'm just not one of those users. I'm OK with different books looking different. In fact, I like it. I don't want them all homogenized.
