Again, it's not the global setting you want, but if mis-swipes are the larger annoyance then there is a solution. |

Ugh, spoke to soon on Mantano Essentials & updates! I waited a day to see if there were any complaints about the update, and went ahead & installed this morning when I didn't see any.
Appears that the custom themes are broken. On my Nexus 7 I am now missing the night/day toggle that appears when you tap the screen to bring up the top/bottom info bars. Not only is the toggle gone, but I had left my book in night mode before applying the update & now it seems not to know which color is text/background. |

Maybe if you uninstall, then install again it'll go back to day mode. Not sure if it'll work, but don't think it'll hurt. |

It seems like every update corrects some of the problems, but creates others. Almost afraid to update anymore. But it seems impossible to go backwards to before the page turns and right side pages.

In Settings, Reader, Gestures or Settings, Reader, Keys you should be able to set the different swipes and single taps for various functions. Mine is set so swipe up is toggle night mode. And it works with the latest version of Mantano. |

I just got another update; not sure what it did.
Still not possible to edit night themes. Why not? |

Uninstalled & reinstalled yesterday, no change. I don't have a "keys" option under settings - maybe for Premium only, not Essentials?
For now I have edited the default theme to show up as day, and edited a "test" theme I had created pre-update to be night; so I can go into themes & switch between the two....workable, but not as nice as the toggle icon. |

I know, I can always make new themes, but if night mode cannot be editted, why not remove it altogether? Strangely, I editted a themes daymode, and the night mode was different too, but not simply inversed; I still can't figure out whati t does now. |

newest update - takes REALLY long time to load
What's up? I have Premium. Have uninstalled and installed. The books are taking up to 3 minutes to load, then after I read a few pages, it says to wait and then up to a minute to get the next few pages.

PS Just tried to load a new book and it totally froze. How can I go back to a previous version?

Perhaps Mantano should put back the old version and just call it 3.0? |

One thing I notice is that it is freezing/taking a long time to initially load/taking a lot of time to get the next few pages is with books over 300 pages. And it may indeed be the Sony S Tablet - Mantano is trying their best to be all things to all people. I just wish we could pick and choose which version, then I could find a stable version and stick with it a while. Lyn |

It best to back up the apk you are using before upgrading that way you can downgrade if you want. I use ES File Explorer to do this. |

I didn't know ES File Explorer would do that - thanks, I'll look into it and if I ever get another stable Mantano, I'll make sure I back it up.
