Yes, so many different settings on so many different applications, yet the ones you really want all together in one package..... doesn't seem to exist.

CoolReader single tap seems to be reserved for tap zones. (I don't use them except page forward and back.) Perhaps that's why single tap for text selection isn't an option.

Have you used KOReader at all? It's pretty configurable. There are so many ways to customize, I forget what I set up, so I very rarely use it. That may be an option for you.

My nook b/w ereaders were plain old nook software. I don't have them anymore. Also I had a nook color that I dual booted Gingerbread from a card.

I did dig out an HD+ that had been in storage. I originally bought it new, then booted KitKat from a card, finally wiped the nook stuff and installed Marshmallow. It's set up for some old games (klondike, word search, montezuma puzzles, stuff like that), and about 8-9 reader apps for testing. The hardware is excellent, frankly. I expected lag, but it's pretty usable.

Hopefully you'll find something you can live with. For me, CoolReader works better than other other applications I've tried.
