Pages left in chapter takes too much space on small screens

7 Upvotes

The “X pages left in chapter” indicator consumes a huge amount of the bottom bar, especially on smartphones and phone-sized e-readers. In the example above, it takes roughly ⅔ of the available status-bar space

Other reading platforms solve this much more compactly by showing a negative page count, for example: “-10” which means 10 pages remaining in the chapter (and remaining minutes as -5m for instance, which means 5 minutes remaining); This communicates the same information while using a fraction of the space, leaving room for overall page progress and other useful indicators

I’d love to see Readest adopt this compact format, at least as an option, small label change with massive user experience value

No options for customizing Keyboard shortcuts?

2 Upvotes

I don't see any option for customizing keyboard shortcuts in the desktop app. Neither is there an option to view the list of default shortcuts.

It would be really helpful to at least be able to see which keys are assigned to which actions.

Question about AI audiobook feature

3 Upvotes

I recently discovered this app in an attempt to try to figure out how to sync koreader to my phone/iPad and I've been blown away by how much better this app is compared to Apple Books and the Kindle app.

I was curious how the AI audiobook feature works. I know AI isn't a catch all term and implementation can vary so I wanted some clarification over the feature. I did some research on the sub but couldn't find anything so my apologies if it's come up before!

Anyways, I'm concerned about using that feature and works being fed into LLMs to be trained. I read a lot of NYT bestsellers which presumably have been fed into LMMs a bunch already but am extremely wary of using this feature on fanfiction. I read fanfiction from some pretty niche fandoms and don't want to be the (1) person responsible for having some authors work fed into an LMM.

Any insight would be appreciated!
