Comics, Manga, and Image-based Reading

Any format that is image-based will generally use the same image-based reader. This includes formats like .cbz/.zip and .cbr/.rar files that contain images of the pages. PDF files are considered here as well, at least from Stump server sources.

Preferences

Each reader has specific settings and preferences that are configurable. These settings may be set globally for all books, and overridden on a per-book basis. If you change a setting for a specific book, it will only apply to that book.

Reading Flow

Controls how pages are displayed and navigated:

  • Paged: Traditional page-by-page reading
  • Scroll (Horizontal): Continuous horizontal scrolling
  • Scroll (Vertical): Continuous vertical scrolling ⚠️ Currently disabled

Image zooming is funky when using the scroll flows. This is a known issue and will be addressed in a future release

Reading Direction

You may set LTR (left-to-right) or RTL (right-to-left) reading direction.

Reading direction is only available when not using continuous vertical scrolling

Image Options

Double Page Display

Controls when to display two pages side-by-side:

  • Auto: Automatically determines based on page orientation and device orientation
  • Always: Always attempts to display two pages side-by-side
  • Off: Never displays two pages side-by-side

Separate Second Page

When double page display is enabled, this option controls whether the second page should be treated as a separate entity for navigation purposes.

Image Scaling

Controls how images are scaled to fit the screen:

  • Auto: Scales images to fit the screen
  • Fit Height: Scales images to fit the screen height ⚠️ Currently disabled
  • Fit Width: Scales images to fit the screen width ⚠️ Currently disabled
  • None: No scaling applied ⚠️ Currently disabled

Downscaling

When enabled, allows images to be downscaled for better performance. This can help with memory usage for large images.

Panel Downloads

Allows downloading individual panels/pages for offline reading. ⚠️ Currently disabled/in development

Tap Sides to Navigate

When enabled, you can tap the left and right sides of the screen to navigate between pages.

Bottom Controls

Controls the type of navigation controls shown at the bottom of the screen:

  • Image Gallery: Shows thumbnail images for navigation
  • Slider: Shows a simple slider for navigation

Progression Tracking

Incognito

When enabled, the app will not save your reading progress. This wouldn't affect bookmarks or annotations, just the progress of the book.

Reading Timer

When enabled, the app will track the time you spend reading each book in seconds. This will even sync across devices!

The app supports reading timers for all server configurations, but syncing is only available when using a Stump server

Disabling

If you disable the reading timer while reading a book, it is effectively pausing the timer. If you re-enable it, the timer will resume from where it left off. If you disable the timer globally and start reading a book, the timer will not start.

Resetting

You may reset the reading timer for a book at any time. This will reset the timer to 0 seconds
