2 pages side by side on landscape, a must for pdf.
_______ multiple columns per page, at least 3 (better 4) on landscape and 2 (better up to 3) on portrait, similar to scientific pdf papers for epub and maybe reflow pdf ___ For me this is a must, I can't use neo reader without this features at all, it is a waste of space of the screen. You end up with ultra giant fonts for blind people or with tiny fonts but every line so wide that it's easy to lose it when moving to the next or trying to read fast. When you can use columns, you don't need to move the eyes on the same line, with a fixed eye you can read a whole line and move to the next one much more efficiently. Also, 2 pages for pdf in landscape with this screen is perfect and help us to avoid going back and forward so much when reading some technical pdf where you are referenced to other lines, pictures or graphs on the next page or the previous one.

... Because of course it is agreed that both features are strict basic requirements (and I secured them solutions immediately). For FBReader, there should be a version specifically for the new Android firmwares... Sorry I cannot verify immediately. Last edited by mdp; 07-05-2018 at 01:35 PM. |

That Neo Reader is faster and more efficient than those solutions, I need to see documentation: where did you find the info? I do not presume that Librera or FBReader allow drawing. The stylus always works as a point-and-click device; it currently requires a specially designed software application to be fast. Last edited by mdp; 07-06-2018 at 11:29 AM.

I saw there is a e-paper version, but I can't find the differences, the app stil have animations and I see everything same as the normal one. Also, still only 2 columns, but better than nothing I suppose. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...k.reader&hl=en Still, overall greatly disappointed as I can't believe the engineers didn't saw that for this screen sizes, 2/3 columns per page for epubs (4/6 on landscape), and 2 pages also on landscape for pdf was a must.

This is odd: I could not notice anything like this. Could you please share the version you used? I will try and see if I can reproduce and isolate it.
Truth is, I unfortunately currently have almost no time for PDF reading (I am using almost all of it on text editing), so I have not updated Librera for a while. Quote:

I idly note that the same myopic perspective is that of Nikolay Pultsin's team as they put a conditional in the code: "if two-columns requested in settings and screen orientation is landscape, then format in two colums". |

Do you know if possible with readera? Maybe a third party app to force the max 2 to landscape? |

You want "landscape, book mode, two pages". -- About your quote: Pultsin is the guy behind the original FBReader (the author of Librera is Ivan Ivanenko AKA "Foobnix"). The code in FBReader years ago read along the lines of "Display two columns only if landscape" - which is myopic because it assumes that all portrait oriented screens are narrow.

Have you removed the fattening of the blacks, which is in the Brightness/Contrast settings (and incidentally happens to be one of my very few contributions)?
