I've tested with many epubs from Project Gutenberg. If you notice problems with books from any source, file an issue.
You can use Calibre to convert other formats like mobi and PDF to epub.
I am not opposed to someone adding support for other formats like mobi, but I don't want to add third-party jars etc, and everything needs to be GPLv3 compatible.
- Lag in paging up and down.
- Not actually using "book pages" (just scrolls a big page up and down).
- No bookmarks.
- No "goto page" functionality.
- Changing the font can lose your spot.
- Paging backward sometimes causes a weird downward scrolling, which makes you think you've lost your spot but you really haven't.
