E-reader app suggestions

I really love my Kompakt (despite it being on Android 12), and I know the E-reader app could be better. Right now, I am using KOReader, but I would prefer to stick to the native reading app, but I can’t since the current E-reader app on the Kompakt is so bare. Some suggestions:

  • Allow us to left- (or right-) align the text. I absolutely cannot stand reading justified text. It just really bothers me. Having the option to align the text to the left or right is an option every basic e-reading app provides
  • Provide the option to make the text bold. Right now, the body of the text is slightly grayish, which makes it difficult to read
  • Allow us to set a different fonts for the epubs
  • Provide a “Currently reading” page from the drop-down menu
  • Allow us to sort books into folders
  • The ability to bookmark and highlight would be nice
  • Allow us to hide the reading progress percentage while we read so that the reading experience is completely clean
  • Show the actual book covers
  • Give us better control of the refresh. The previous screen retention is so bad even just after one page turn. A systemwide manual refresh in general would make the Kompakt experience better.

Hopefully these changes can be considered!

I would consider acquiring a device designed to be an ebook reader such as a kindle

Lol. I have a Kindle and an Xteink. But I am pretty much using KOReader exclusively on my Kompakt, which is the ideal solution. I’d rather not carry more devices than I need to.

Same here. I have a Kobo Elipsa E-reader and sideloaded the Kobo app to read (and listen) to their library of books. The UI is identical. Not an easy solution in your case, as you probably have to convert, but for anything they have in their library that comes with the monthly subscription and with my Mudita Kompakt with me there’s always a book or an audiobook within reach. As long as it suffices (which it does very well to me), I have no need for KoReader, despite all the great recommendations. And it ticks all the boxes above. Sorry, can’t give you any other suggestions.
