Cool Reader user reviews :
Very good app – my favourite on Android. I also have a version on Kindle. However on Android it has a big problem: when one wants to open a file from a different folder (other than current books folder – that has a lot of files) it takes almost forever and you are suggested by the OS to stop app. This happens after a reboot, and is probably due to the fact that file indexes are stored in a volatile location.
My favorite app for reading, very comfortable to use, a lot of flexibility, great customization on look and control. Revision: I recently bought some books from humblebundle, downloaded their epub formats. the app keeps all of the css format, including the fonts, although in the setting i have set to keep the internal styles, but i have not selected the embedded fonts. Still i can’t change the font of the book, and the spacing between lines is pretty odd (also not changable, from the app) I checked other apps, it seems they are working fine in this regard. not sure what is causing coolreader to do this. Also the PC version of coolreader seems to be handling the fonts pretty well, unlike the android app.
Permissions Thank you! 5 stars for no other reason than full disclosure, notifying users of and explaining new permission. If only more devs would do this, and more users would pay attention to what devs are doing on their devices.
Awesome… need bttr page animatns Everything about this app is wonderful but I tell you please improve the page transition effect. It’s just obsolete. Improve it make it look like real and 5 stars.
