When you use a solid colour, you can adjust it to any colour you like. I also turn off the textured pages and use a solid colour instead. I also like to have show book cover unchecked in 3D mode under "page layout", but this is really a personal preference. Priv: Fullscreen on, reason for the difference from BB10 is because on true Android, fullscreen off will show the little black status bar at the top showing the clock as well as the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen. Having it on will also show you the time and % read. Fiddle if you are in that situation.īB10: Make the interface fullscreen to hide the bottom black bar by swiping down from the top and selecting hide, which you should already know how to do.īB10: Fullscreen off in the application's interface settings. Once you are in the font size range the book will "let" you have, then your chosen font will work properly, otherwise it will be something else. You will have to test to see with whatever you're using, but you have the choice, which is really important to have.Īpp is sometimes fussy if the book is fussy about what size fonts you are using. However, Iowan Old Style (used in iBooks) as an example looks better with the Bytecode Interpreter checked. Note that for Gentium Book Basic, it looks best with the Bytecode Interpreter unchecked. You can play to see what looks best on your screen for your font. And some older ones may look better without anti-aliasing on lower resolution screens or do not need anti-aliasing on super-high resolution screens. What is really great about this is that many fonts you may choose were designed to have the BCI or not to have the BCI. Now, in "font rendering options" under "fonts and colours" note that you can turn anti-aliasing on and off, you can also turn the bytecode interpreter on and off. Put the 4 ttf GentiumBk fonts in the fonts folder you just created. For Priv, I don't know at those resolutions, try both I guess but you will probably still end up on the Book weight. These are heavier book weight, the other four are lighter weight Roman ones. For Z30 you will just want the four that say GentiumBk. In the font zipfile I listed above, there are 8 TTF files in it. I like using high quality fonts.īB10: In the file manager, /misc/android/ create a folder called fonts.Īndroid: If you don't already have a fonts folder, make a folder called fonts in the same folder level that contains your other user folders like Download, Movies, Music, etc. Recommended well known free font to try, Gentium Book Basic (yes, even on BB10 devices too): Mirrored copy of the APK from the above for the BB10 Z30 folks (version 3.3.72): Īlternatively from the author, all versions and platforms: Cool Reader - Browse /CoolReader3/cr3-newui-opengl at Google Play link, Priv people use this link: If it looks like crap and runs like crap on the tablet, I won't use it. I also like things to look nice when it comes to reading books, especially fonts and colours. I have an old slow dual core 32 bit tablet, which is perfect to test out apps on. This implementation has nice 3D page curls and high control over font rendering and colours. The author of this software Vadim Lopatin originally started writing his ePub book reader engine for the Jinke e-ink reader (sold under various names in global markets, EZ Reader Pocket Pro, BeBook, Papyrus, LBook, Hanlin, etc.) It was the best engine at the time for those readers, I owned one. I feel confident that many of you will like this free ebook reader that I am recommending here for a variety of reasons.
