I want:
These are all features that dedicated ebook devices have. I'm not sure if any of them supported comic formats, but I consider that the bonus filetype; if I can't find it, I'll convert them to PDFs. I'd also like font size change ability, I suppose, but I can probably cope without it. I don't care about

Also, you haven't said whether it works offline. I have no need at all for an ereader app that only works when connected to the internet. |

Those that you just listed we fully support. The only thing is you need to side load them via the web interface via Drag/Drop from your Desktop or Google Drive/Dropbox folder or using our Calibre plugin. And yes it works offline I did answer in all my previous post, double check by searching for offline. With regards to the prompt for your age, I understand and I can reach out to you once we deploy the option to ask questions instead of your date of birth. This will require changes across iOS , Android and Web. |

It's perfectly possible to use Bookfusion without buying anything from their bookstore component. Calibre plugin is for reason

So it simply means that you have to settle for a lot of different programs or do a lot of manual conversion work to convert everything to your favorite program. |

Fortunately you can use a single app that handles all the conversions automatically while allowing you to read and sync between iOS, Android and Desktop(via Web). This is what BookFusion does. |

Stanza killed themselves by not fixing the bugs in rendering. Plus, Stanza was one of those apps that didn't respect the CSS and did too much by overriding. When you have a reading app like that, it's garbage. There has to be a way to 100% res[ect the CSs or forget it.

Once upon a time, I had an app on my iPhone that did everything you want. Then the developer sold it, and the new owners transformed it into cloud-based spyware, dropping supported ebook formats along the way. Unfortunately, that seems to be the way things are going. |

My guess, there's probably a lot more people like me who don't care about publisher formatting and are fine so long as the ebook's readable. That said, the books I read on EPUB/MOBI/AZW3 are just fiction. Technical documents, references, manuals, etc, I stick to PDF. |

Lets talk about the app as a reader app. I want to enlarge/shrink font sizes easily - at night I want fonts larger, during the day smaller - having to go to the settings and scroll down each time is a pita. And easily change brightness. Also, want to be able to touch the left side of the screen to go forward. Easily categorize books and show only the category I want. Until I can do this, all the cloud storage in the world won't help me.

Too bad Amazon didn't think to incorporate Stanza's features into their Kindle app and seems to only be interested in killing off the competition. |
