Issues found in 3.1 (both Nova2 and Note3):

* When updating PDF externally (via FolderSync, for example), NeoReader acknoledges changes (it shows some percentage movement on book opening), but still shows old values (old notes, old bookmarks, etc). The only way to get update content is kill NeoReader (several times, sometimes first time you kill it does not update its internal cache or whatever).

* Note sync is not working (see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=338838). It is working now. I tested this while they were updating their servers!

* Ball, sometimes refuses to move past some area in Note 3 (not tested in Nova 2). It happens after screen rotation landscape/portrait and viceversa. It seems ball does not know new screen coordinates/postion and still only can move inside its original rect (this is sometimes very annoying because it covers text). It was interfering with android gestures. If ball go to bottom of the screen, and bottom screen gestures are enabled, gestures take precedence over the ball.

* I don't know if this is a bug or a "feature", but ePub version 2 reader does not allow "negative" interlining. Lowest value is 1, but for my preferences, it is not enough "lower" interline.

Improved things I like a lot are read/total chapter pages in ePub and correct hyphenation (at least in Spanish ebooks). And, of course, all of those rendering tricks and customisations for PDFs.
