New Features

New Themes:

Stats & Stats-Life Themes

Built for people who want detailed reading data. Stats is a theme that tracks Reading Time, Time Left in Book/Chapter, Progress, Daily Average, Pages per Minute, book start date, and estimated finish date. Stats-Life includes everything and adds Lifetime Device Stats to your Home Screen.

Menu · Library · Settings · Read
(+ long-press Read → quick book menu: mark finished, remove from recents, delete stats/cache, view synopsis, etc.)

Bare Theme

Designed for readers who simply want to feel as if it is them and their book. I have designed a minimal theme loaded with functionality.
Menu · Library · Synopsis · Read

  • Long-press Menu → Settings
  • Long-press Library → Recents
  • Long-press Read → book quick menu

Note: Certain date/time features only work on the X3 (the X4 does not have a real-time clock).

System + Reader Status Bars

Fully customizable status bars with slot-based placement and live previews.
Choose exactly what appears in the top status bar and position items in any of the 6 available slots (Top/Bottom × Left/Middle/Right) independently for the system UI and the reader.

Battery Display Options

Independent control for system and reader:

  • Hidden
  • Icon only
  • Percent only
  • Icon + Percent

Manage Fonts

Completely redesigned with tabs, 50/50 live preview, a Download Fonts row, and improved organization.
Default fonts are now Source Serif 4 and Bitter.
This is where you set font, size, layout, and style for how books are displayed, with a clean preview of every change.

Tabbed Navigation + Button Remapping

Fully customizable button remapping.
Front buttons act as a list; side buttons can be set as tabs (or whatever you prefer).
A popular setup is using the side buttons as left/right controls to scroll through horizontal tabs.

System → Stats Folder

New options under Settings → System → Stats:

  • Enable / Disable Stat Tracking
  • Auto Backup
  • Backup Now

You can now turn stats off completely if you prefer a distraction-free reading experience.

Cover Thumbnail Pipeline

Improved cover generation for clearer, higher-quality thumbnails.

UI Polish

Unified design language across the interface:

  • Black chips instead of grey highlights
  • Better title centering
  • Cleaner version string
  • Fixed long-press behavior in the Library

Book Synopsis

In the Bare theme, a Synopsis button is available on the home screen (requires synopsis metadata — easy to add with Calibre).

You can also long-press Select/Open on any book in the library to open a quick menu that includes the synopsis. Useful for refreshing your memory or choosing your next book without leaving the device.


Reader Shortcuts

  • Long-press Select → Dictionary
  • Long-press Select again while in dictionary → Multi-word select mode
  • Menu button → Reader options menu

Dictionary

(To Install Dictionaries simply extract the '.dictionaries' folder to the root of your SD Card)
