There is no MapleRead on Android, as far as I know.

Even if it were, it can hardly compete with Moon+ Reader Pro, I'd guess.

However, the optimal e-reader app needs to be cross-platform and must include the web – not just the duopoly of the two mobile operating systems. So, BookFusion has it right.

This is where Moon+ Reader Pro fails for me, no matter how wonderful (although far from perfect) it is on Android.

And this is also where MapleRead fails for me, no matter how truly good it is in iOS. An Android version and a web version are a must.

That would be an extremely unwise step. Android is an incomparably better operating system than Apple's prison of iOS, Apple's dictatorship.

Are you seriously suggesting someone should stick with Apple's prison of iOS instead of switching to Android, when in this very thread, we are facing the sad consequences of Apple's despotism, where it won't allow us to continue using Marvin, even though there is no obstacle for its continued use on Marvin's side?

If Marvin were an Android app, it would not matter in the least that Kris stopped developing it years ago. Even if it disappeared from Google's Play Store, anyone could sideload it within 30 seconds from third-party Android app stores and continue using it. I do that with many exquisite Android apps that have disappeared from Google's Play Store – including apps whose developers (very sad) have even died! No hope for continued development there, but on Android, it doesn't matter.

Let's admit the truth, guys & gals: Apple's operating system is silly and despotic, it's a prison, which is why I stopped using the iPhone years ago.

(Hardware-wise, though, the iPads are great, which is why I continue using them daily in all three sizes, despite the severe and cruel limitations, heavyhandedness and awkwardness of Apple's operating system.)
