KUAL

Three changes related to the Sidle KUAL app:

  1. a new Sidle booklet that lives in the stock Kindle Library. To enter Sidle, the old way was first tap KUAL, then tap Sidle within KUAL. Now you tap Sidle like you tap KUAL.
  2. a progress bar at the toast and also a cancel button in case you changed your mind in the middle. It's related to a bug where we can't actually download a book larger than 256Mb. Why did I think capping at 256Mb was a good idea, I don't remember, but making such a book revealed the bug, and also prompted me finally added the progress indicator and cancel button. So, everything happened for a reason, including bugs.
  3. removed the separated update script, and integrated the update as a button (upper right corner next to the search bar).

Sidle Reader

To Seam or Not To Seam, That's the Question.

For fixed-layout books, such as PDF, it'd be nice to have double spread when reading on a big enough screen. This is pretty standard.

But it looks odd to have disjointed double spread for fixed-layout manga, which often has cross-page panels

In those case we'd better merge the seam:

This can be done with the style ("Aa") settings within the reader.

Editing Metadata directly in the List view.

This should be done earlier. Without it the list view is mostly useless. Now at least it has a better reason to exist.
