Hello skillachie! I downloaded BookFusion to give it a try. Is there a way to turn off the page turn animation (the way the page slides across the screen)? This type of animation gives me a headache so I can only use apps that either do the page curl (e.g., Kindle, Mapleread, Apple Books) or have the option of no animation at all.
Thank you |

I am intrigued by the syncing feature. Is this done via iCloud or using BookFusion's private servers? |

We provide a full ebook reader and manager with seamless sync with bookmarks, reading progress, highlights and other upcoming collaborative features that requires the use of BookFusions backend (cloud) and is not compatible with third party providers that simply provide only a storage solution. We are not simply trying to build replacement eBook apps for what exists today but want to provide a richer reading experience. For example some readers use our optional social features to share their eBook collection with friends and family. This is currently in beta on Web and will be implemented in mobile soon. https://www.bookfusion.com/reading/branch Also, provide the ability to have discussions within books and so forth. Besides that it is the only way we could guarantee and reliably make improvements to our syncing process without relying on a third party. However, we will support browsing iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox at a later date. It will be included in the next vote to the community to help prioritize the functionality to come after the ones already planned. |

I wanted the same feels as iBooks but I didn't want to have to sync using iTunes because my giant library crashed it all the time.
So I use kybook3, moving epub files using the file browser as a new "downloads" folder. It feels exactly as clunky as iBooks, with no advantages whatsoever for sorting. Thus perfect for my use case! It has ads but I have a Shortcut that turns on airplane mode when I use it lol. Helps with concentrating on reading too. I have been meaning to try bookfusion, downloading it now! |

Alright I give up on bookfusion, no additional features that give it any advantage over iBooks for me. Needs a bypass to upload all 6k files, so basically worse than iBooks.
I don't really need cloud services, synced annotations or anything except "make it look like iBooks because Apple can't update their best apps" so it's not useful to me. Compared to kybooks it does not have the same quantity of features, nor can it integrate with calibre as nicely. (kybooks has great opbs catalog support, decent integrated internet search, all historical apple iBooks features) I know it's untrustworthy because it hasn't received updates, but I was literally going to switch to linux to use foliate mobile before I switched to kybooks. |

Books is worse. On an iPhone, the forced L/R margins are terrible. Plus, if you are using iBooks, you are using a rather old iOS. A lot of professional eBook makers find Books to be rubbish.

Can't get much worse than Apple's default app, which is why I made the comparison, simply to stress how low my standards are. (I usually use calibre to absolutely destroy professional formatting because I can) |

![]() It sounds like what is really missing for you is OPDS support in Apple Books and you would be golden. With regards to BookFusion we currently use the Calibre sync plugin which integrates nicely for a number of Calibre readers, the same plugin will also allow us to do two-way sync in the future. However, we will be looking at adding OPDS support as well but not for this year. Foliate and Kybooks are surprising comments based on what we received from a few users. However, as mentioned your particular set of needs, combined with a cost for our app might make it not a suitable fit. Thanks for trying out the app. We noted the OPDS support and will continue to make updates and add new features for our readers |

Hello skillachie! I saw BookFusion released a new version with page curl animation and no animation. Thank you!!
I noticed when using black background with white text, when page curl is selected the "back" of the page that's curling is white rather than black. Not sure how easy it would be to make the back of the page match the background color of the front of the page? The Kindle app and Apple's Books app does this. Thanks for considering. |

It would be really good to remove the page curl animation bloat.
