It would be a very needed improvement and another way to uninstall another sideloaded app from the kompakt

Analysis: It is not essential or necessary for Mudita to support a book reader app on the Kompakt. It is not a selling feature and highlights the limitations of the small e-ink display.
Dear @Mudita Support, you do not need to make any changes to the MuditaOS e-reader app. In the next version of MuditaOS remove the e-reader from the suite of standard apps. Thank you.
The people that want to use this device as an e-reader can shift the burden to an expert developer to come up with a sideloadable app for this little phone.

That sounds like a very a AI generated response lol Just want the text to stay dark as it does when you first open the book instead of going faint

Thanks for the feedback. The truth is that we are planning some improvements for the eReader app in a future update. It’s on the roadmap.

This may be a font related issue.
Mudita, please allow for sans serif font. The font you use throughout the OS is fine.
Also, please left align all text. The variable gap… between words caused by Justification makes text harder to read.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re requesting. Do you want to be able to change fonts in ePub books?
Hello I wanted to reply to this thread and flag this as a problem I’ve also been having with the e-reader app.
A few months ago I was able to work around this problem by double-tapping the pop-up menu button, which would effectively reset the display and trigger a glitch that caused the contrast to be much more substantial and make the text much more readable. I think this glitch has since been patched out, and I notice I’ve been reading a lot fewer books on my phone as a result since they’re now less visible in certain lighting. If I remember right, this patch was actually in response to a request from a different thread in this forum and someone who found that it made it difficult to see the contents of images, which would make sense that lower contrast would help with that..
I wonder if a contrast toggle option could be possible? So that someone reading an e-book with lots of photos can dial the contrast down, but someone reading text in low lighting can dial the contrast up?

I also think it’s a relatively rare use case to be reading an e-book with a lot of photos on such a small display - ideally they would optimize for text only on the stock app

Much appreciate to @urszula and the team for fixing this!!! The contrast issue is resolved in 1.5 and looks good. Great to see this get a resolution since this was my original intent (phone + pocket reader) for purchasing Mudita Kompakt.
