Yeah, everyone has blank thumbnails. Maybe it'll be fixed in an update. Not very visually appealing for now.

If you're willing to load all the XML files in a text editor, you can do a search and replace for:
http://opds-spec.org/cover
http://opds-spec.org/thumbnail

and change to:
http://opds-spec.org/image
http://opds-spec.org/image/thumbnail

I suggest Notepad++

I tried it for one book and it works. Thank you. Very time consuming. I can't see doing this manually for each file.

That's why I said to use the search and replace function of text editors. You can just dump all the XML files into the editor and do search and replace all.

Pardon my ignorance. How do you dump all the XML files into the editor? I got the search and replace part, but do you have to open each file one by one to do so?

Get notepad++ it does all files in one folder at a time.

OK, let me see if I can find something comparable for Mac. If not, I'll do it in Windows on my Mac.

I used TextWrangler. Worked great! That was a fast process. You always learn new stuff on MobileRead. Thanks again ilovejedd and Blossom.

Does Mantano have a two page landscape mode and is there any way to add fonts.

I have seen references to both, in this thread, but don't know what the story is. I downloaded MR-free-1.6.3.58 which I think is a non-expiring trial with adds. If this version has these features I can't find any way to invoke them. Does the paid version have these features?

I betcha Blossom and SCION know.

Regards - John

Custom Fonts go in the Mantano/Fonts folder on your SDCard.

SCION · 11-06-2011, 08:51 PM

No two-page landscape mode yet.

Eskarina · 11-06-2011, 09:25 PM

There is 2 page landscape. If you reduce the font size enough while in landscape mode, it switches over from one page to 2 page. Unfortunately, at that point, the font is too small for me to read comfortably.

...or up to 3 columns, on my xoom. It will depend on the resolution of the screen. I actually like it that Mantano makes this judgement.

Are you referring to PDFs?

Never realized this. Just tried it. Yeah, font size is too small for me as well. I can read it clearly, but it's not something I would intentionally do.
