MapleRead - eBook Reader and Server for iOS - Page 53

Usually, if you click the footnote number it should either open a little window that contains the footnote, or it may bring you to the Notes part of the book. If this is the case, after reading the note, press on the number and it should re-direct you back to the page you were reading.

Nope - doesn't work. I got an email from the Maplepop people. Apparently this somewhat depends on the exact version of EPUB used.
In any case, I can return by pressing the little circle on the bottom right of the page, where the page scan slider (scroll?) is.

I've tried the following new feature introduced in MapleRead 5.9, released about 2 weeks ago, and it works!

Smart Batch Download: Optionally overwrite cover image as part of Overwrite Metadata

I just saw this new feature last week, and it is AWESOME. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but soon!

Is there a way to display an in-chapter progress (bar) or any other easy way to know how many pages are left in the chapter?

Yes. See the last 3 screenshots of this webpage on their website. Note the label at the lower right corner: 4 — -4, meaning that you're on page 4 of this chapter and there are 4 more remaining pages in this chapter. (This notation is kind of like what's used in its read-aloud timer.)

To see this layout, turn off Center Header/Footer in aA | More after opening the ePub book.

Hello,

I’ve been reading the forum and saw that back in 2023 someone asked almost the same question about syncing MapleRead annotations into Calibre.

The workaround that was suggested was to copy notes from the MapleRead server as HTML and paste them into a custom comments column in Calibre. That does work, but it doesn’t preserve the original location info of the annotations (so you lose where exactly in the book each highlight was made).

Is this still the only way? Or maybe I just haven’t found a more up-to-date solution?

I've been using Mapleread as my reader for quite some time now, and it works great However I've been living with this very annoying problem for as long as I can remember. Every time at the end of a chapter it seems to skip the last 3-page turns. At first, I didn't catch it, and just felt like I was always missing something, but since then I've learned to tap back 3 times at every chapter break and read the last 3-page turns.

I have not seen anyone else ever mention this anywhere, I feel like I'm the only one that has experienced this, and I have no idea how to change this behavior. A few years ago, I was in contact with the developer for a bit and nothing came of it. Must not be a bug just one of my settings messing with it. Does anyone else experience this or have any idea how to go about fixing it?

Thanks.

What book format are you reading in? I'm using MapleRead for epubs from multiple sources and I don't have the problem you describe with chapters. The only issue I have with chapter changes is the way it "sticks" at the bottom of each chapter and takes a "pull" to move to the next rather than continuous smooth scrolling the way other apps do.
