Looking for an Android ePub reader with customizable autoscroll
I recently had a discussion with one of my ex-coworkers. What they want is be able to use autoscroll but to have it automagically stop at the end of a chapter. They are mostly reading Gutenberg epubs where Gutenberg stuffed multiple chapters (say, the last part of chapter 5, chapters 6, 7, 8 & the first part of chapter 9) into a single file. Considering the 2 sample files I saw, Gutenberg did not use headers but did have a consistent pattern between chapters within an ePub but that pattern was different between the two ePubs. I suggested that hitting the space bar between pages in paged mode would be a lot easier than trying to get Gutenberg to change their workflow and convincing someone to support the desired autoscroll modification.
The program they are currently using with autoscroll runs on Android and does not stop at the end of a file (starts at the title page and scrolls to the end unless you tap to pause) and the developer has no interest in adding that functionality nor in improving the bare minimum CSS support currently present. I was asked if any programs I knew of could do what they wanted and had to answer no. So I'm bouncing it out to find out if anyone has any suggestions. |

I've seen chapter headings/titles coded with h, p, div or span
They look like chapter headings. However I struggle to see how other than file per chapter that any ereading app can scroll and stop at the end of each chapter. Then there are books like Dune with a Preamble in the middle of the page which is really an unnamed chapter and entire books with no obvious chapter breaks. Perhaps just scene breaks. Good Luck. I tried Moon+ because folk here mention it. Can't see the point of it compared to KOReader which can be installed on most Android direct from Git. |
