I've been looking everywhere for an apk for OReader (not OOReader). Best reader I've ever used, everything customizable and great minimalist but information packed progress bar.
The silly thing with KO Reader is that you can't change the screen area type. Left is page back and right is next page. I want up to be page back and bottom be next page. It's also slow to open a (new?) book.
For now I'm sticking with the built in reader. But it has issues with fonts. Only arial and "serif" (which it uses by default) work. There is an option to download extra fonts but it's buggy after repeated failed download attempts before it finally did work, selecting any of hem does nothing. After manually downloading the font I used on my old device and pasting it in the font directory it somehow suddenly worked. I suspect the key is to NOT put it in the "english-fonts" directory and setting that directory in the app to 'same as chinese'.
I've also tried Alreader but not really geared to e-ink screens even though it has the option to set the app to e-ink compatibility.
AlreaderX has some potential but I've not been able to disable the "profile" aka some background paper type.
A few thoughts on the P78:
My previous eReader had physical buttons, I miss those. E-ink screens are just to slow for proper touch screen functionality imo.
By the way does anyone know if there's an easier way to turn on the backlight instead of tapping the middle, then tapping the light and then picking day, night, bed or custom?
I could also have done without the embedded sd/tf card slot. Especially with that MTP stuff. Well at least it still has such a slot.
