I suppose that would come in handy for lefties. Although I hold my reader with my right. I write left handed.

I am right handed and hold everything with my left hand.

No problem. I joined their beta team. Once upon a time Moon+ and Mantano were in their infancy. The original Moon+ didn't even support italics in those days. I have high hopes for this app because it has so many options others don't.

Actually this one does. The poster wants to override the indentation in the original CSS by setting indentation to 0% but that feature while is there is not working at the moment even if you turn the original CSS off. This is the first eReader app I've come across that lets you have total control like this.

If you meant me (original poster), the CSS has no indent on the first line, but Prestigio is indenting it anyway. Kobo, Bookari, Calibre, Sigil and ADE all show the first line with no indent, but Prestigio indents it, no matter what I do.

Many eBooks have no indent for the first paragraph of a chapter and also the first paragraph after a section break. The problem is that Prestigio is not respecting the CSS that says to not indent. It's just indenting. That means then that the rest of the indents are also not respected. because the app has to be using it's own indent value instead of the CSS value.

When you do an indent override, you have to have TWO overrides. One for the actual indents and one for no indents so you can turn off either or both. But in this case, it's not happening.

Exactly, it's broke which is why I reported it.
This app allows you to set the value in points/percentage/pixels/EMs. It's not working. Everything else appears to work.

I agree, everything else seems to work, and the CSS is followed except in this one particular. The app is really quite nice. I like it. Once the first-line indent problem is solved, I'll give it another try.

I like it. It will scan you SD cards (internal and external) for books and you just have to click the import button and they will be on your shelf.

I used to use Aldiko but it is only epub and pdf reader.

Both readers are excellent but I uninstalled Aldiko as I don't need 2 ereaders on my phone or tab.

As you use it, when I installed it, it requested that I create an account - for what?
i use Moon+ now, but one of my readers is Droid 4.1 which is causing problems syncing reading positions which suck. So I'm looking to change ... wish they'd have had had an option to sync to my OWN webdav server.

You have only need to create an account for syncing. If you don't plan to use multiple devices just skip that part. Prestigio uses their own server to sync. Their support however is non existent. It's a bit unpolished. I use it though as it suits my purpose just fine but isn't ready for prime time yet.

Yeah, I noticed the less then polished look and feel/use.

My only complaint about the authors of Moon+ is that the Dropbox/Droid 4.1 sync issue, and that they won't either adapt to the api, or setup the ability to save to your/my own server.
I've an old HP 7 that can't be updated and there isn't any ROM's for it. I use it for most of my reading and occasionally to my ASUS.
Can the "update reading position" be saved locally? Do you know which file?

I WILL NOT and WOULDN'T use Google to wipe my A**, so that isn't an option ... (using Google, not wiping my a**).

Ok, it's a {filename}.{ext}.po file under cache.

Just have to figure out where it's saved locally and just transfer over.

Ideas?
