They added some new features to the website itself. I'm not upgraded the app as I don't want larger margins.

I love the san-serif font they use which is Scala Sans I use it on my Moon+Reader with the grey background color off the Nook App. I love it.

Maybe you will use this time? So many books to choose from.

There are books I wouldn't mind reading. I just dislike the way their apps display books and find it very hard to read using them. I really wish they'd add some more adjustment settings.

Wow, now I see what was said by the margins in the latest update. On my Nexus it looks horrible! Long and skinny. What were they thinking?

Got hold of a previous version and put it on my Nexus. So much better!

Yikes.

Its bad, isn't it. And the hyphenation. Yikes.
Did you just try it? Someone said there was an update to the app yesterday, I was just wondering what they fixed in that one. I'll hold on to my 3.6.2, that is for sure.

Huge margins are still there. This was on iOS first, right? Maybe they're not used to Android users wanting to control their own experience so they dictate what they think is good.

I am trying to imagine what those margins would look like on a 4.5 android phone, or even a 5 inch. 2 words per row?

I am very happy with my 3.6 version. I'll keep it. Margins go nicely out close to the edge.

I don't have Ithingies so I don't know what it looks like there.

I didn't update. I put 3.6.2 on and made sure all auto update things are off. Still long and skinny on the Nexus. I'm hoping I'll like it better on the Fire 6.

I am back in Scribd. I was able to sign up for the Teleread 2-month free deal. I was surprised since I had the 3-months free earlier. The margins aren't too bad on my iPad mini and they are really good on my iPhone 5S.

It shouldn't be skinny on 3.6.2. Margins are 6 mm on my Nexus 7.2 and text is 3 inches and a quarter wide. With 3.7, I only got like 2.7 inches in text. Or something like that. Are you sure it didn't update again before you got a chance to turn that off?
To compare, the margins in the kindle app are 7 mm on the sides on its narrow setting.

It's the screen of the Nexus itself that I find long and skinny. That's why I don't really read much on it.

I read on it because of that. I get more words per page so I read faster.
