2. stop converting highlights to plain-text upon export must-have

Other readers had the same request. Happy to share that exporting highlights in Markdown, HTML & PDF will now retain the formatting. As far as I can tell BookFusion is the only eBook platform that retains as much formatting as possible when exporting highlights.

Take it for a spin and let us know what you think. Please feel free to share any negative feedback as well.

Two items in the top 5 now completed.

It seems @Faterson, might not be well. He is usually very active on the Forum but have not been on since last year.

Will continue to post the updates here as well since his list overlaps that of other users. At least some aspects

Text to Speech (TTS)

Text to Speech (TTS) is now officially supported in the iOS app allowing you to leverage the full extent of iOS Text to Speech (TTS) voices and languages.
Now turn any eBook into an audiobook by using Text to Speech (TTS)
All you need to do to use Text to Speech (TTS) is to go to Settings inside the Reader, select Text to Speech (TTS) and enable it.

Cross-posting from the Marvin is gone thread:

I just tried BookFusion. Library/bookshelf view is nicer than Marvin. Alas, it's missing a few of my absolute must-have features.

Option to disable page turn animations
Customizable tap zones (at the very least go to next page on both left and right edge tap)
Vertical slide for brightness

#1 & 2 in particular are absolutely critical for me. I won't use an ebook reading app without those two options.

Being able to install your own fonts is something I want. I don't care about getting extra fonts from other programs. That's a silly feature and useless.

Agreed. All 3 have now been completed in the latest iOS app. Let me know your thoughts.
