Yes it was great. The only bad news here is that we noticed this particular issue seems to be due to how the EPUB was created and it would be more of an edge case.

Even in Marvin for custom background it does not work. Only with textures if I remember correctly. Also has issues in a number of other readers. This looks like an edge case and unfortunately we won't try to fix this one. If lots of books have this issue we can investigate further but it is not currently the case.

To understand this, we take the BookFusion website and change the setting in iOS.

'Siri on'

'Siri off'

I would be more than happy if 'Siri on' would also work in BookFusion
The reason why this worked in Marvin was because they just used the system toolbar, meaning it had no form of customizations or development was done by Marvin to enable this . Based on the features such as the top 5 colors and others we have to use a custom toolbar .

In using the custom toolbar we use https://developer.apple.com/document...viewcontroller provided by Apple to show the definitions. Unfortunately Siri is not exposed in this way for dictionary lookups

Image tab
And now something to inspire you from Marvin.
Marvin has a tab in the overview where all the images in the book are listed. Super handy to quickly call up a map or something like that.

Finer graduated paragraph spacing
All of these were addressed in the latest release.

Image tab is much more improved and better than Marvin since you can not only browse and swipe in a gallery view but you can immediately navigate to the page of that image.
