Libra Fast page turning in epub?

Krios · 03-02-2021, 03:01 AM

Is there a way to turn on fast page turning in epubs while holding page turn button?

I know kepub reader has it, but ive been messing with kepubs for last few days, instaling patches, but its still looking subpar comparing it to epubs, especially with little bigger font size, and its only feature i miss in epubs.

It sure would be nice to have Quick Page Turn available for epubs. We only have the feature on kepubs—books we download from Kobo's store or through Overdrive. There are two solutions you can try.

1) Use Calibre to convert your epubs into kepubs. That's what I usually do.
2) A kludge of a workaround can be found by tapping once in the middle of the page to bring up the task bar along the bottom, then tap once on the circle that represents your page location. Thumbnails will pop up. You can now tap and hold on either directional arrow to quick page turn through your ePub. This would only be useful if you are searching for a certain page, however, because dragging the page location circle to a new location is much faster.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, it's not a big deal, but it would be a nice thing to have, Pocketbook also uses Adobe RMSDK, for reading epubs, and it's still possible to zoom images and turn pages rapidly while holding a button, but i like Kobos custimization options and community patches more.
