I bring this up to dev in past and did not get response. I asked if he could put a feature to manually change orientation for tabby eery users, got no response.
[Android Apps and Games] bsnipes:
I imagine he has quite a few features he is working on and will take the landscape request into consideration. It is IMHO much easier to read landscape on a tablet. I like the look of this app and if it does landscape I'll end up using it regularly.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Mobi format will be supported in the next major release within this week.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Sorry I must have missed your post, tablet landscape support is already been working on. After I got the mobi file format sort out, it'll be the next.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Yes, you are right :) I don't have any specific timetable but I think you guys will have landscape model within the next 2 weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] WarlockSyno:
Will there be Google Drive support in the near future? I personally like to keep as close to the Google ecosystem as possible.

Thanks for the wonerful app!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Your request has been noted. But I don't think it can be done very soon. Again, I want to first make sure that all major functions are stable enough before consider these enhancements. I think we all agree that we need to have a stable-for-everyday-use reader first, right? Any way, thank you for liking my app!
[Android Apps and Games] WarlockSyno:
So, I've been using it for about a day now. I noticed that whenever I add a book to the Dropbox folder, it doesn't automatically show up in Fabrik. I have to manually open the book before it shows up.

I'm also sharing this folder with a friend. If that makes anymore sense.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Sorry about that. But for now automatic import books from your Dropbox is not supported yet. But that's a feature that will be included in the next major version, which should be available within this week.
[Android Apps and Games] Yaotl:
option for margins and to remove the book header would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Noted. Will do this once the major functions are implemented and more or less stable.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Ok everybody, 0.36 beta is now out there. You get mobi support, optimized book loading speed and other fix. Mobi support is more or less working, but please consider it experimental. If you find any of your mobi books can't be opened, please contact me. And it would be really helpful if you could also send me the mobi file.

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
guys, 0.37 beta has just been published, and now you have epub image rendering!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Coming soon: automatic import books in your dropbox folder when synchronization, along with more optimized synchronization.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Hi guys, 0.40 beat is now out! You now get automatic dropbox book import option and more. Checkout the blog: http://fabrikreader.blogspot.com
[Android Apps and Games] glimmling:
It grows :)

Waiting for the tablet optimized ui, I read in your blog.

Nice and good progress.

Thank you. And don't forget to tell your friend about Fabrik Reader :)
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
The app is working great and i haven't bumped into any problems, but there's one thing that's quite annoying; the brightness.

Even when i have the screen brightness set to the lowest, it turns it straight up to 7 billion lumens when i open a book. I can't read in the dark (even with the night mode enabled on AMOLED) since it's way to bright.

So, i would love to be able to adjust the screen brightness, unless it's already there and i've missed it.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Yes screen brightness adjustment is already there. When you are in reading view, just put your finger any where on the screen and scroll down, and the brightness should be lowered.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Yup, you're right. Stupid me :p Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Hi guys, 0.42 beta is out with the long waited landscape two column reading model! Check it out and let me know what you think.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Thanks for the update(s)! It's getting better and better. One small request though:

- Add an option to hide the statusbar. It's pretty distracting seeing it when i'm in the "zone".
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Good catch! I forget about that because the screen of my one x is big enough for me.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
I have the Galaxy Note :p The statusbar is just annoying when reading.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Got the update. Damn you're fast :p Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Mesograt:
Hey eirikrwu, thanks for this amazing reader!

It's definitely becoming my main go-to app now ;)

One thing though, in the newest update, is hiding the status bar optional? One of the main draws this has over aldiko is that I can see the status bar (and notifications) without having to resort to third party apps.

As of now though, .42 is amazing already :D Keep up the good work man
[Android Apps and Games] blackdale:
Hey man, u build a sleek looking apps here, great work :thumbup:

And i want to suggest some features to you, first due to my little screen i hope you can make the lower option setting to slide right and left, hardly to touch the last option button

Second, can u make an option for default orientation screen when we start reading?

Third, hope there will be gdrive support in next future too

Thx, n sorry for the bad english

Type from my mini
[Android Apps and Games] spoidar:
I know you said this was a minimal reader, but these would be my feature suggestions to make it useable for me:

Night mode background should be black (ideally have configurable foreground/background)

This is particularly useful for *OLED devices.

Menu button should toggle menu

Browse by metadata (large collections will be unusable as is)

Toggle between top/bottom and left/right tap page turn for larger screens and one-handed operation

Optionally keep one line from previous page on page turn (low prio, but improves reading experience)

Optionally disable all page animations (and/or set page turn duration)

Support links/images in epub/mobi

Toggle book-title/progress (already requested)

Configurable borders (already requested)

OPDS support (already requested)

That's all that springs to mind immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] mattman83:
Congrats on hitting the portal ;)

Downloaded this as it's exactly what I've always wanted. Had previously been using FBreader for simple interface plus FBSync but sync was pretty horrid and unreliable. Have just installed this on my tab and phone, dumped a few epubs in dropbox from my pc and it all detected and synced fantastically - also auto added covers!

The only thing I can't work out is changing the reading page style - particularly to the inverted style you have on Play. There's nothing in the main app settings, and once you're in the reading pages there seems to be no menu at all.

[Android Apps and Games] Joe_PDA:
Its nice to see such responsive replies to new feature requests.

Good work on this app.

Any chance to get this app to read .lit format?
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Thank you :) Of course hiding status bar is optional. Check out settings and you'll find it there.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Thank you. All feature request noted.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Wow, that's really a big list. Thank you! All feature requests noted, and I'll try to keep up :)
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
When you are in the reading pages tap the middle of the screen to bring up menu. There is a night model button to change to the inverted style.
[Android Apps and Games] oxidil:
Does this also open chm book formats?
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
More formats is definitely coming. You just got .lit format support on my todo list!
[Android Apps and Games] glimmling:
Maybe we could have some more serif fonts. For me they are more comfortable to read. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Chm is not yet supported. But the request has been noted.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Thanks for the link! More fonts are coming now.
[Android Apps and Games] soloman56:
Such a beautiful app! Just wanted to say +1 for the request for page-turning animations. Also, could you please consider adding the option to change the background colour. An option to group books in folders (e.g. books that are in a series or to group books by genre) to reduce clutter would also be nice.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] MicheleFrost:
Very good!

I love this app and how you are doing here, taking notes of all requests, answering to everybody...

it' impressive and it adds even more value to your work. Great!

So since all my requests have been asked already (margins and file formats first of all), what about some offer? :)

For instance, even if I never did anything similar, is there a way to contribute for translations?

I could do italian... and I guess that some others here could lend a hand on other languages.

EDIT : Only one more question: does the app scan the device (any directory, sd, etc) for books at start? If not, this could be a feature.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] isanrap:
@eirikrwu: great app there man :) . i would like to suggest few features.

1. It would be great to view the exact % i am at as i scrub through the pages.

2. If its possible an option for justifying the text.

3. I saw someone ask for plane white background. It would be appreciated if you can give few choices with background.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] saiyogo:
Great app. I would like to suggest you to add dictionary support. There are many good dictionary apps in the Play Store (ColorDict, Fora) that already have API for ebook readers and it will be an awesome addition to your app.
[Android Apps and Games] TheGoD:
Could you implement auto scrolling, similar to moon reader?
[Android Apps and Games] arana1:
let me tell you it looks good, any plans for some kinds of plugins? i currently use fbreader , mostly because it supports the formats i need an i love its text to speech capabilities , an old fart like me sometimes gets easily tired and put the voice reading ON while falling sleep lol, also the dictionary support helps me a lot since english is not my mother language.

i actually use dropbox with fbreader (since it allows you to specify the path onyour sdcard to your library, so i just pont it to dropbox folder and thats it), but i like your interface better and the covers support

Does it support any plugins?
[Android Apps and Games] powrful1:
I looked maybe I missed it in the thread is support for pdf coming. I have books and manuals that are pdf that I like to have in my readers. Sync with Dropbox would allow me to keep them up-to-date easier, but not a requirement...good job btw!
[Android Apps and Games] ofteno:
This

Anyway, outstanding job, the app is beautiful

[Android Apps and Games] dave31175:
eirikrwu, thanks for the great reader, and for the responsiveness you've demonstrated to end user requests! This is a great app, especially for one so young. I'm excited to see where it will go!

Just one bug to report. On my Samsung Galaxy S3, when I use volume keys to change pages, it also changes the ringer volume. I'd appreciate it if you can add this to your ever-growing list :)

Thanks again!!
[Android Apps and Games] feroxxx:
Thanks great app. But please add an option for Utf-8.

Turkish characters looks weird:(

http://db.tt/JQ5ZgGEi

Edit: nm, solved it changing font:)
[Android Apps and Games] babaq:
Hi, the reader is nice, but:

- extremely huge -11 MB and only basic functionality

- very slow

- almost nothing can be configured - I would be happy if I can affect at least margins, text alignment and fonts (why they cannot be changed on Android 2.2.1 device?)

- too 'graphical' - I prefer light and easy to view interface and e.g. plain background

It is true that the idea of reader directly capable of DropBox access is nice. And it is also true that it is not new: everybody can use the calibre desktop application and create OPDS export which can be also stored in DropBox and then you can access your library even more comfortably :) because many readers support OPDS exports...

Update: I noticed that OPDS and some other GUI improvements were already asked for, so I will keep an eye on this reader. Also, for the speed issue, I will have to do something with my Motorola Milestone to speed it up...
[Android Apps and Games] courageousrobot:
Awesome job.

Seriously.

I love how it maps up to my Dropbox. No more importing needed!

To jump on the feature request bandwagon: view / sorting. Would really like to be able to sort by author / series / whathave you. Maybe an icon view instead of a long list of all the books. Would really help when you have 50+ books...

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Schneicw:
I use my rooted nook touch to read most of the the time and that is stuck on 2.1 so I would appreciate it if you could make a version for 2.1 that supports the nook page turn buttons. I have no idea how hard what I am asking so if it is too hard I understand.

EDIT: Partial Refresh support would be nice too.
[Android Apps and Games] psych2l:
At the state it's in now it's already replaced FBReader, Aldiko and the Nook app for me. I'm sure you're busy with all the requests, but I didn't see TTS support mentioned yet. Sometimes I'd rather listen than read, if you could incorporate text to speech inside the app that'd be amazing!
[Android Apps and Games] mattman83:
Thankyou :) You might be getting a good review on play in a couple of minutes :p

[Android Apps and Games] jasoraso:
Boy, this thread is really moving today after being on the XDA-portal!

One small thing I noticed is that the app isn't tied to the .epub extension. I downloaded an epub from my dropbox, and I was asked if I wanted to import to Aldiko, or FBReader, but no option for Fabrik :(
[Android Apps and Games] Zode1:
So, I seem to be having some problems opening .mobi files with the app.

The app doesn't seem to be able to open a bunch of my .mobi files. Some of them work, some of them get an error, even though I can open them on other reader apps (i.e. the Kindle app). Any idea why?

Otherwise, awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] Warell:
So far it´s the best epub reader I found for Android. The text in the screen is really well placed, the fonts and the settings are very good too.

Congratulations for going to xda portal, it´s the recognition for a great job beeing done here.

So far, the only thing I really miss is PDF support, since I have lots and lots of PDFs and converting all of them to epub may take a while.

Sync with dropbox in the way it is beeing done is a fantastic idea too.

Edit: Forgot to say: I miss support for Colordict too. Can it be added? Thanks for doing this really good app.
[Android Apps and Games] fonseca898:
Thank you for sharing. As a Dropbox user I like this app immediately. The interface is good and I'm enjoying it so far.

I read only epub and pdf, and convert all other [superfluous] formats into one or the other, removing DRM, and if it's primarily text I choose epub.

Try not to add too many features. Jack of all trades, master of none.
[Android Apps and Games] prabhjots:
Great app, but Please add support for external SD card
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:

[Android Apps and Games] curl66:
Its great :) Thanks a lot for this app! I like it very much!

As an enhancement request i like to ask for box.com support, because it gives you easily much more space (up to 50GB) for free. also the sharing of folders with others is easy.

Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] ganeshbiyer:
Its a great app. Simple and Easy to use. Loving it.

1. Could you make importing easier. like all the files under a folder could be imported. Got around 300 Epubs.

2. If I upload to the fabric folder in Dropbox, it gets automatically synced to phone.

3. Grouping is another problem, scanning thru long list is cumbersome. (already requested by someone else)
[Android Apps and Games] n0ctem:
I know technically they are not books, and maybe the way they are presented is different than an e-book, but is it possible to have .cbr and .cbz support?

Tried this app. Looks great, but I tried to load a few mobi books but neither of them would load or open.
[Android Apps and Games] chug:
Love the reader, only thing I would ask for are more background options. Like others have said, I would also like a plain white background that also makes the buttons/progress bar on the bottom plain as well.

Also, maybe it's my eyes but the fonts could be a little darker.
[Android Apps and Games] myalls:
Just downloaded and this is an awesome looking ereader, just what I was looking for and looks great on my N7.

One thing though, when I go into my file system it looks as it my ebooks from DropBox are also saved onto the device, and with a large amount of ebooks this doesn't work well with limited storage. Could there be/is there a way to only read from DropBox and not save a copy?

Thanks :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
1. Batch import is already supported, in the directory list view, long press a directory and you'll see the option.

2. Also supported, check out settings.

I think I really need to create a FAQ page :)
[Android Apps and Games] AbuShabanov:
Hey! I'm really liking the app so far. It's simple to use and setup and works very well. One thing that would be great would be landscape mode without the two columns. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
Page turn is awesome, thank you so much! My only two requests pertaining to it are.. 1) can you make it similar to how Google Play Books responds to touch? Like how the page is actually following the finger and being turned, so you can turn partway and then still turn back (thus leaving you on the same page) and 2) in landscape, can you make the page turn at the center/spine? Turning both sides looks rather odd. Otherwise this app is top notch and your responsiveness is applaudable. Thank you so much

[Android Apps and Games] schallwert:
Can you implement an option where the user can choosel to keep the global screen brightness or specify a custom one? Currently it's a bit too bright for me. Oh and is it possible to add Google Drive as well since there's an API for Drive now?

Other than that I like your app very much.
[Android Apps and Games] ysuleman:
I love how it looks! However on the kindle app I can see the chapter at the start of a new chapter. Also on the kindle app you can select a chapter at the beginning yo jump to.

For some reason I can't see what chapter I'm on. It is only text of the book. Is it supposed to show chapters?
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
+1 for the 2 requests. If you could make Page turning like He described, it would be just more awesome.

And one more request, could you add the ability to load the next Page or pages while reading? So Page turning would be instantly. Dont know how file-format depending this is, but when i read epub i notice a slight lag between swyping and the Page turning Animation. I know this is complaining at a high level :D

Otherwise the app is just brilliant and it's very comfortable to read with it. Thanks for the great experience!

Just swype vertically across the middle of your Screen to adjust brightness :)

:-/ can't say didn't see an adfree version coming since the beginning, but to not even mention ads in the update text on gPlay is bad. Should at least give a free adfree version to those who gave you ideas/xda members. I buy apps all the time, and wouldn't even mind buying this, had it been billed at first as a will charge later. Otherwise it just seems like getting feedback to make a better product, then charge. :(. Regardless, awesome reader.
[Android Apps and Games] chug:
The ad version isn't even that bad. It doesn't show up while you're reading so who cares? Anyways I love the app and would have donated if it were free anyways so I have no problem buying it. Just hope the dev can manage all the feedback/requests because the last thing I want is for him to incorporate every single thing requested and end up with a bloated app.
[Android Apps and Games] psych2l:
Well he can always incorporate them modularly like FBreader which has separate plugins for TTS, etc. That way if you have a slower device you can keep it nice and light.
[Android Apps and Games] azunino:
Are you sure? it seems the ads will appear when the trial version expires (3 days from now), so we'll see...
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
This. If the ads are just in the settings that's one thing, but anywhere else and I'd be a bit upset. We'll see
[Android Apps and Games] evilRafael:
Writing a fully featured app like this must have been a lot of work already, and the feature list here look hotter on paper than Kindle's or Aldiko's, but I wouldn't switch from Kindle because of its dictionary feature, which works VERY well, and in several different languages.

You did great job though, apparently.
