What was your reader app journey - RIP Stanza

Remember Stanza? How so many of us loved that reader app. Alas, Amazon never did fold the features from Stanza into the Kindle app.

Then there was Marvin. All I loved about Stanza and then some. But the developer lost interest.

Now I've been with FBReader for many years. I don't even know what the "de regeur" reader app are.

I'm at the end of my journey until FBReader app goes away.

Features
  • Works on iOS and Android
  • Easy to load books via the FBReader Book Network
  • Tap regions that are configurable so I can go forward by tapping either the laft or right side
  • Easy to adjust the brightness by swiping a finger up and down the page
  • Customizable fonts and colors

That's it. It's all I look for. Marvin had a spotlight/search feature I liked that FBReader doesn't have. But it wasn't a must feature.

Of course, writing this I may be jinxing myself.

Also, it was a pay once instead of subscription. This does worry me a bit because that's when developers lose interest over time.
