2. page number and total pages for entire book showing on bottom.
3. name of book, date and time, at top.

Thanks, looking forward to the app.

All three will be there, 2 and 3 is working on right now :-)

If you want to see 34 pages of 300 pages, instead of position 1234 of 9999, that you will see. I have both numbers, but pages make more sense to me, as I can imagine how long a book of 1000 pages should be.

Also, all this will be customizable.

Thanks so much! Yes, I would like to see 34 pages of 300.

Thank you. I would much rather see Adobe Digital page numbers because they do not change when you change any of the options like the font, font size, line height, and margins.

Could we have the ability to change the weight of the font being used because some fonts are too thin or look better when more weight is added. Thanks.

HiJSWolf,

Weight can be changed, when text is normalized, but I am working on an option to make the changes in weight without this normalization to be turned on.

That is exactly how it is made.

ALso, I have added an option to add any font you like, meaning any weight you like.

Thank you for the info.

Why would we need text normalization? What's that going to do for us?

It is a feature to uniform the text (remove bold, italics, weight, positioning, etc.). The only need I think it is good for is when the epub formatting is "broken" in the file and you want to override it.

I'm trying to question we JustRead is going to normalize (I.e. screw up) the text before we can do things like adding weight to the font.

There should be no text normalizing at all. All it will do is cause no end of problems.

[petrjahoda]

Text normalizing is an option, a switch, that you can turn on off. Just like other options.

But it should not even be an option taking space with code that should not exist.

In your opinion. The opinion of the author and other users is what's important here.

You have made your opinion known. Do not go on about it any more.

Really looking forward to trying this app, I'm looking for a calibre replacement and this looks promising, So far I'm using Kybook3 (I know another oldie) of all the options I tried from the app store this had most of the things I want from a reader app.
