I did try adding my own css stylesheet which was helpful (nice feature btw ) However, it only worked when I used p {font-size: 200%;} Using body {font-size: 200%;} did not work. This makes it tricky since some ebooks use <div> for paragraphs and then there's the issue of headers. Any suggestions? Anyway, I can sort of get around the font-size problem with custom css, but the sliding page-turn animations give me a headache, which makes Hyphen unusable for me. Incidentally, Apple's fancy iOS animations also give me a headache. It was painful to use my iPhone until Apple added the "Reduce Motion" options in Settings to turn them off. If you add an option to turn off animations in Hyphen, I would happily purchase this app as I really like the other features. Thanks! |

You can solve this by using the !important declaration. More info in the Custom CSS & Fonts guide. |

Using p {font-size: 200%} on the other hand works to increase the font size AND font-size is adjustable within the app. But it only works if the ebook uses <p> for paragraphs. Also, it doesn't seem to work if I try it with h1 or h2. Bottom-line: trying to control font-size with custom css isn't as easy or consistent as one would hope. P.S. I think you have a great start here and look forward to the next version. Last edited by odamizu; 11-23-2015 at 12:00 AM. |

I purchased yesterday Hyphen. It's good stuff. In my opinion the app have all the desirables options for a excellent epub reader except TTS suport (I like to read in the public tranport with my earpods... accapela it´s the best option for this IMHO, TTS of course).
Great Work. And, in the other hand I notice an issue... when I try to turn off the hypenation and the justification (I like to read in left aling without both optinos) the book continues justified. I don´t know how... Thanks. Last edited by desito; 11-23-2015 at 03:02 AM. Reason: I´m spanish and my english is not enough good, when I read the message I wrote I try to clearify it |

This may be because of the ePub's existing styling. Try Publisher Styling > Disable Publisher Styling under book settings. You can also fine tune it to just remove Text Alignment. |

I've decided to buy it, as a way of supporting developers. I liked the way it all works (disabling publisher styling is the first thing I do in any new reader!) and when we have author subfolders/pages I'll be over the moon. For an example of how it might be done, check out Shubook. I would have said check Stanza, but you can't anymore, unless you already had it and have stored its .ipa carefully somewhere as I did

Just downloaded the free version. At first glance hyphenation seems to work correctly in French, yay! I'll wait until two-column display is supported to test further though, because reading without it is uncomfortable for me.

In any case, thanks for increasing the font size in the next version and also adding page-turn options on your issue-tracker. Do you think the page-turn options will make it into the next version? If so, I may purchase Hyphen now to support your efforts as I like everything else Hyphen has to offer. |

iPad users: have any of you experienced rotation bugs? If so, how and where?

I registered to this Forum to thank you @hyphenreader.
Your software has a huge potential for an average reader. I am not a developer. But am an avid reader. When I switched to iOS, I did not realize that I will miss Moon+ reader the most from my daily life. I have tried many softwares in iOS and yours is by far the best (compared against Marvin, Kybook, Total reader, Reader+ etc). I especially admire the way you have gone ahead incorporating so many changes. What I needed was customizable screen, proper animations and keep a track of my reading history in iOS. Your soft has accomplished almost everything. If I may, with Page animations, extended platform (Windows & android) and device (ipad and mac) support, and robust history logging this software can turn for the best. You have already incorporated options to categorize files (I keep all my files with me. More than accessibility its an Old habit, I had a habit of hoarding various editions of book), which is helpful as my library is quite huge. I see that your next versions are going to be even better. I am going to purchase full version. hopefully I'll see this version in windows soon. |
