Nice reading experience, with unlimited tweaking of font, size text color, background, and even the gradient of the 'backlight'. Love it.

I wish I could create my own themes, so I could switch between 'day mode' and 'night mode.'

I own Murasaki (v1) and Yet ePub readers but this is my favorite of them all (including iBooks) just because I usually prefer reading light-grey text over a dark background, and this is the only app that can do it.

Can't save current view for current book or pdf or the next one. I have to set it up every time I open another document. I want to show thumbnails and have it fit to screen and fit to page every time. I'm uninstalling until it's fixed.
