Thanks.
I'll definitely have to poke around some of PocketBook's settings and see if they have some of that.
In Moon+, I do remember really liking the Highlights+Notes menu.
(In PocketBook, they have a separate button for highlights/colors, and a separate button for notes.)
And didn't Moon+ have a really nice way to sort notes based on highlight color too?
I remember, when proofing, I was doing things like:
- Pink = spelling error
- Red = punctuation error
- Yellow = Normal note
that saved me a lot of clicking/dragging/typing... since mobile UIs are
definitely not design for super productivity (at least at my level).
I was then able to open up my phone + computer, then easily do corrections in the EPUB based on category.

I'll have to test it out again.
Jellby recommended it to me a few years ago, and he spoke very highly of it.
But when I tested it, it felt very clunky on the phone:
- The UI mostly seemed to be designed to run as a Kindle/Kobo alternative.
- So an ereader-first UI... not a mobile-first one.
- One of the key things I use is pressing the Volume Up+Down buttons to change pages.
- I remember this not working at the time, and it was extremely frustrating having to click on the screen to turn page.
- (I LOVE physical buttons.)
- And most importantly, it didn't have Text-to-Speech—which is one of my must-have features!
The
in-line footnotes of KOReader is excellent though.
And they are always updating it every few months and adding new functionality too... maybe it got better on Android in the past few years.
(But I still love PocketBook.)

Yes, that's my biggest problem with it.
They do not follow the EPUB standards, so things like Tables + SVG + MathML and so many other things are broken.
If you read lots of basic Fiction, it might be "okay"... but for Non-Fiction, it breaks too much core EPUB functionality for me.
And then there are too many complaints that book XYZ is broken, when in reality,
it's their chosen READER that's broken!

Ads? What's that?
Side Note: The past year, I finally installed a Pi-hole and began SUPER cracking down on ads network-wide.
You wouldn't believe how much garbage Android (and iOS) is still sending, even though I locked down my phone.
Now, anyone who connects onto my wifi gets the blocking benefits too. :P
