Reading Direction: Left to Right or Right To Left

• Reading Direction changes which side of the screen you need to press to move to the next page. By default, you are reading Left to right, meaning the right side (as shown in Pagination below) will move you to the next page. You can toggle to Right to Left and hence the left side will progress to the next page.

• When changing the Reading Direction option Colors will briefly highlight the Pagination (page turn) areas.

  Reading Mode: is either Side to Side, Up and Down, or Webtoon mode

  

  Color Options: None, Dark, or Sepia

Image Splitting Options: Right to Left, Left to Right, Fit to Screen

• Splitting is the act of taking a spread page (a page that contains both left and right as one image) and virtually splitting it so that it looks and acts like two pages. This is useful if you don't want to scroll or zoom while reading on a phone or tablet.
  • Left to Right: The left half of the image is shown as the first page, then the right half as the second page. This is the most common choice for comics.
  • Right to Left: The right half of the image is shown as the first page, then the left half as the second page. This is the most common choice for manga.
  • Fit to Screen: Fits the image to the width of your screen. Unlike the width option under Image Scaling, this is only applied on spread pages.

    Image Scaling Options: Height, Width, and Original

• Scaling Options adjust how the image is mapped to your screen.
  • Height: Fits the image to the height of your screen.
  • Width: Fits the image to the width of your screen. Best for reading on a phone.
  • Original: Does not scale the image.

Webtoon Reading Mode

The reader provides a few ways to read without having to close the reader to open the next chapter. As shown above, there are Next/Previous Chapter buttons that can be manually clicked and in addition, for non-webtoon mode, you can just page like normal and within 10 pages of a chapter boundary, the server will prefetch information needed and tell the server to start caching said files.

For Webtoon mode, due to the nature of the reader, there is a slightly more manual way to trigger the next/previous chapters. You can always use the buttons, however, doing it without using the menu is more ideal. Now when the user scrolls to the top or last page in the reader, a "spacer" is inserted at the top or bottom respectively. This spacer should show an animation to the user to scroll into it. When that is done, the next chapter is loaded.
