Hi,
I'm not interested in this app yet, until there is an iPad version anyway, but I'd like to mention a problem that every reading app I've tried seems to have, and that is incorrect hyphenation in French (and presumably other non-English languages). A French text hyphenated with rules of the English language is highly disturbing for me, so I just disable auto-hyphenation. But it would be nice to have an app that does it right |

For what it is worth, a usable book browser is a big issue with a lot of the popular reader clients. It always amazes me how lousy the browsing functionality is in most of them. Browsing by author (in a folder like manner) is not hard to implement and also should not be buried in nested menus.

Browse by author in folders is a huge, huge feature for people with large libraries. It's a great way to differentiate yourself IMHO.

I think folders might make browsing slower, compared to the other option which I believe is better, yet also lacking from all or most ePub and PDF readers (including iBooks): an index scroller.

An index scroller that doesn't file books under author names is awful for me. Particularly with prolific authors where I might have 20-30+ books, having to browse through titles is deeply irritating. I have 300 books in my Kindle library and an index scroller doesn't work at at all for me there. The total library is far larger.
Edit: The thing about an index scroller is that it's very fast to get where you want if you know exactly what you want. It's an absolutely awful way to peruse, though. (At least for me.) |

It doesn't look like it would be hard to include an index scroller with the interface you have.
For those not on the beta, he already has sorting by author, title, series, last opened, and date added. There's also separate shelves you can setup. Last edited by Jessica Lares; 10-02-2015 at 07:57 PM. |
