I've tried Version 1.0.0 on Windows 11 25H2 (OS build 26200.9168).

I can't change the font size. I move the slider for size and nothing happens. Line spacing and Indent are working though.
Also it looks like I can only view 2 pages at once. I'd rather see only one page.

Despite 32 GB of RAM the app freezes when I open the library, a folder with subfolders and 3.400+ files (pdfs, epub, cbz, cbr etc), and scroll down. This is reproducible.

Fantastic, thank you for the feedback.
I've been working on memory problems as well as adding new features. How about searching a .pdf?
Huge update today, huuge. Let me know how your program performs.

I re-installed with a newly downloaded exe from your website. The version in "About" is still 1.0.0 though.
Now I can use the library but while scrolling down (sorted with date added) it takes very long to load the covers. I clicked on a PDF with only "loading". And then I could see loading the pdf, but nothing happened except that .NET crashed and the app just shows a black screen.

After restarting winpub I just clicked on one of the PDFs in the first row of the library. The PDF also displays as two pages at a time, previously I only tested an epub file. But the text looks rather ugly, which may have to do with the text size. I am not able to use the "ZOOM" funtion on top of the app.

I attached a picture with SumatraPDF (left) and your app (right). You can find the PDF here: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/def...-countries.pdf

When I click anywhere on one of the two PDF pages shown the app always skip forward. I'd rather that only the click on the forward button does this.
I can't select any text in the PDF. I'm also not able to copy the links.

Thank you for your continued feedback. Please fully uninstall and reinstall, let me know if things work better.
Any screenshots or videos I take are me actually using the program. And the book cover issue is next on the agenda actually. Just fyi though, away from my PC for awhile, will be a few weeks until next update. Please continue using the program; I will be checking in occasionally.

I used the uninstaller of winpub. But this uninstaller didn't uninstall all files of winpub. The folder I installed winpub in was empty, but after re-installing my previous settings like library folder were already set.
So I uninstalled it with BCUninstaller plus manually deleted some folders under AppData on C:/. That really lead to a fresh reinstall. But then the app froze again when scrolling the library.
Either the app isn't ready for prime time or it's my computer. Anyway...I will uninstall it again and that's it for me.
