Thanks for sharing. As you mentioned it works well for Google based books but you cant download the books your upload.

Would be interesting to hear your feedback if you decide to try BookFusion

skillachie | 7 years ago | on: Bookworm: A Simple, Focused eBook Reader

Thank you for giving it a try. The color for the fonts are set based on what is present in the EPUB or document. We currently allow you to change the font type, background and other options but not the color of the font currently.

I have added this to the development roadmap and you will see it deployed by Q2 this year

Give BookFusion a try and let me know if you have the same issues. BookFusion should also render epub content exactly as intended but also works on iOS, Android and Desktops(via Web). BookFusion not only supports epub2/3 but also MOBI, PDF, FB2, TXT and several other formats

skillachie | 7 years ago | on: Bookworm: A Simple, Focused eBook Reader

Have you considered an alternative that allows you to not only manage all your books but to also read then across Android, iOS, Desktop(Web) and have your comments, bookmarks, highlights and reading progress synced?

Agreed that Calibre is a full featured management app that does it's function well but it requires readers to then use multiple apps to maintain their eBook collection.

Would be happy if you could take BookFusion for a spin. BookFusion allows you to easily upload and organize your eBooks while being able to read on iOS, Android and Desktop(via Web)

Find it incredible as well. The average user finds Calibre to be too complex.

With that said, I would be happy if you could take BookFusion for a spin and let me know if you have any feedback. Our users have libraries with over 30,000 eBooks and as a result we will have no issues with your collection.
