Haali Reader
Site with dynamic tree menu (recommended).
The best reading program for my needs was the
Haali Reader.
Highlights:
- Most important:
- Can turn screen sideways
- Automatically bookmarks 64 last books by default, you can set it up to bookmark even more books.
- Can read russian text
- English-Russian dictionary is available (maybe other dictionaries too?) It's possible to create a dictionary yourself from a text file - it simply loads the dictionary file, and searches for the word to be on left side, at the beginning of a line. Lookup is very simple: you just need to tap any word once.
- It can automatically format text to make it more readable (i.e. if paragraph is split with line end characters)
- Auto-open zip archives
- Less important:
- Change font size, color, bg color
- Bookmarks
- It's ossible to change button functions
- It can do fullscreen
- Easy to access recent files
- Automatically creates a list of contents, usually by chapters. Usually works very well
- Can search and put notes in text (in fact, you create a bookmark and you may make it either a plain bookmark or your own note)
- Auto hyphenation in russian text
- Supposed to be able to autoscroll but I couldn't find this option in buttons set up screen
- XML books
The only shortcoming is that it can't read html files, otherwise the interface is very usable and comfortable, and it has all the features I need; and some that I might need sometime.
Note: in order for dictionary lookup to work, you need to uncheck 'Use SlovoEd' in general preferences.
