I built a free web reader for PDFs and EPUBs, and I'd love your honest feedback

Hi all, I'm Benjamin, a self-taught developer from Uganda. I'm the maker of Bibrium (bibrium.com), a small web app for reading the PDFs and EPUBs you already own.

What it does today:
- EPUBs open as typeset pages, not an endless scroll
- Highlights that stay with the book
- Shelves to organize your library
- Cloud sync, so your library is there on your PC or tablet

You can sign in with Google, GitHub or email. I built it because my own books were scattered everywhere, and I wanted one calm place to read them.

This forum knows ebooks better than anyone, so please tell me what's missing, what feels wrong, or what would make you actually use it. If you'd like help getting your library set up, reply here or message me and I'll walk you through it.

Thanks for reading.
Benjamin

How do you know what size the ePub pages should be? Screens are a different size. This laptop screen has a higher resolution then my other laptop. So a page size that's good for this laptop is too larger for my other laptop.

Can you use custom fonts? Does it have hyphenation? Does it have a wide range of font sizes? Does it have a wide range of line height setting? Does it have margin setting? Can it display in two columns?
