MapleRead - eBook Reader and Server for iOS

Is there any way to mark books as read in Mapleread SE as I would like to move such books to their own section without deleting them from the app?

There are book sets you can create. When I first started I created books for each rating like "Read 5 stars" etc. Now I just delete the book from MR. (Note that this is just a copy of the book. I have my original copy stored in Calibre.) It depends on what group you're viewing at the time whether you see them or not. I think the default ones are "all books" and "ungrouped".

Re the issue where the program was skipping the last page of the chapter. I just want to comment that after the latest version came out I have not experienced that problem since. I've probably read 5+ books since then and it has not happened since. Not that it happened a lot to begin with but I would say it might have happened 1 time every book or 2. Thanks for the fix!

I'm looking for a bluetooth page turner device that will work with MR on my iPad.

I bought one on Amazon and it doesn't quite work. It puts a cursor on the screen and looks like it tries to turn the page by swiping. This occasionally works but is erratic. It also is erratic in the kindle app.

As a part of my testing, I connected a keyboard to my iPad. I noticed that MR does not support page up/down from the keyboard. The Kindle app does.

At any rate, has anyone found one that reliably works in MR?

A family member set up an 8bitdo micro game controller to be a page turner for my ipad. It's not perfect but it's still better than the 2 piece one I got off amazon. Every once in a while it hiccups and says it can't find the switch. I have to reboot the ipad to get rid on the error banner and then leave it alone for about a day and it seems to resolve itself. It uses the accessibility / switch functionality. I think you have to set up a recipe to define the buttons but I have no idea how to do that.

Game controllers work. You just have to enable them in AssistiveTouch.

I originally tried the 8bitdo SN30 Pro (looks like SNES gamepad) and that worked fine.

I wanted something smaller so I purchased the 8bitdo Lite 2 and Lite SE and both work just as well. I prefer the SE as a page turner. The Lite 2 seems better for actual gaming.

P.S. Bluetooth mouse should also work.

That’s exactly how I do it! I use a DualSense controller and it works like a charm!

If your iPad is not ancient like mine and you happen to have a Magic Trackpad then it should do the trick as well.
