Thanks OfficerAction. Look very promising.

Works well in my limited testing, well done!
how much work is it to add new sources? for example mangafox?

found one small bug, the frontlight reverts to off after sleep and resume

Thanks for the feedback!
Mangafox was also my first thought but honestly the quality is not that great and they have that annoying watermark at the bottom of each page. You can probabbly find all the manga you are looking for with equal or better quality on the other hosts

As for the bug I will look into it.

Great ! I'll use it everyday

Firmware 4.7.10413
install per instruction, UltimateMangaReader did show in the menu, but did not work.

Kobo Glo HD 4.8.11073. Everything seems to work fine. Haven't seen a bug yet. This is tremendous!

Can you explain a bit more what isn't working?
Did you unzip the file? Are the other Apps working?

This is great! Works really well. Thank you for sharing your work. The interface is solid! Really appreciate it. Currently using my phone as a hotspot for reading manga on the go - works well enough. Offline mode would be fantastic.

Thanks! Offline mode will come, along with other mutch needed fixes. However I am pretty buisy at the moment so it might be a while until the next relese...

Don't sweat it. It works well enough for daily use as it is. But I do look forward to the upgrades

One suggestion: When the user tries to browse to the next page but loading the page for some reason fails, an easily dismissible error message would be nice. It's a bit confusing seeing the same page displayed again - hard to tell if there's a loading error or if the manga set has two copies of the same page.

Thank you for your work.

Hi there. I just registered on this site so I could thank you for this!

Only got my Kobo today and this has made it infinitely better already. I'm so pleased! Now to slowly add my currently reading things as Favourites...it'll be awhile, but worth it.

Thanks again.

This. Also a way to refresh that would be nice. Kinda weird how sometimes just one or two chapters flat out won't load.

Speaking of which, I'd like Dynasty Reader added as a source. Most things I read there won't load on any of the readers currently in this app.

I just installed the application and I can see it in the launcher menu, but after selecting UltimateMangaReader I get the error "Failed to start application!" (screenshot included).

I am using a Kobo Forma. Any steps I might have missed?

Thanks.
