(I do tweak the code in e-books when I'm their original producer.) Time is a precious commodity, and the e-reader app itself should give us all the formatting and customization options we can think of.

But if that is a step that you prefer to avoid, by all means use some other app.Īs I have just replied to Terisa in the other thread, I refuse to perform any manual code adjustments in e-books, in Calibre or elsewhere, even though I'd be capable of doing it. Completely unacceptable, for an e-reader on a tablet or mobile phone in 2017, to give us the offensively meagre choice of only three background colors (and no textures, including custom ones!) to read our e-books in.Īnd especially for a computer savant as yourself, that problem can be solved in Calibre fairly easy. Corporate developers keep pretending as if this was 2007, not 2017. And just three color option backgrounds for reading in Play Books, Kindle and iBooks?! Give me a break! It's as if all those corporate developers fell asleep in the pre-iOS Kindle era, when all we had were black-and-white Kindle e-ink readers, and so using backgrounds and fonts of various color combinations (let alone brilliantly colorful textures!) was technically impossible. It's as if, "Oh, here's a critical opinion on Marvin – Faterson must be responsible!")īut in terms of fonts, of course an e-reader should allow us to use custom fonts. (Happens to me all the time on these boards – that attitudes or opinions I have never professed get assigned to me. You may be confusing me with some other MobileRead posters, Kumabjorn.
One of the available fonts are called Original, I assume that implies the font the book comes in, for those that value aesthetics over content

In an ideal world, naturally, there would also be a Marvin for Android, Marvin for desktop Windows, Marvin for Linux, and Marvin for Mac OS, but that is, perhaps, an unattainable utopia.
That said, if my only iPad broke (but I have 3 of 'em, just to be sure), I'd instantly shell out €250 or so for an older but still perfectly capable iPad mini 2, if only to be able to continue using Marvin.

Plus, Android as an operating system isn't quite as dumb as the indescribably dumb and user-limiting iOS (getting dumber and dumber with each annual release), which brings advantages to the user, also of e-reader software. He once sent me the link to download an alternative Moon version when the official Play Store version broke something. Communication with Moon's developer, a really nice Chinese guy, tends to be monosyllabic, and you likely won't ever find him on MobileRead, catering to his users like Kris, but he does try to do his best to be forthcoming. Overall, Moon is weaker than Marvin, but certainly nothing to sneeze at – a very respectable piece of software. In some respects (for example, Themes treatment, ability to import your own background textures/photographs, etc.), it's even better than Marvin.
