No Android version? Yawn.
Hey pseingatl, Android has MoonReader, which is nuts as it is! :P But who knows - it's not in the plans, but Hyphen may expand to Android at some point. I take it you're an Android user? :)
Note where the charge indicator is at.
Matt, a bug report - http://imgur.com/QMDeGvr Note where the charge indicator is at.

As another Android user, this looks beautiful. Love that you focused on highlights/notes portability -and Goodreads integration to boot- but kept the UI so clean and minimal. Makes me miss iOS again. I would pay 2x as much for this on Android. Well done!
Is it me or is it odd, that a reader called "Hyphen" doesn't seem to offer hyphenation? Especially as the screenshot shown on the page shows rather large spacing used for block setting the text.
There seems to be Hyphenation support but not on by default. (I downloaded and tried.)
I tried the full version and like how the app looks and works so far. The app seems to support ePub3 also (Marvin only supported ePub2 and Gerty is too social to my taste.) I have few feedbacks: - I wish the page doesn't fade when switching chapters. It interrupted the reading flow more than quite a bit. - Would be amazing if the app could support CJK's vertical layout and page orientation. (I have never seen ePub re…
Hello sim, - I'm in the process of making more page turn modes available: https://github.com/hyphen-reader/hyphen/issues/4 - I'll look into CJK support. If you could offer examples of where you see it handled well, etc., that'd be great. Thanks for the feedback.
Hyphen currently seems to be handling vertical writing quite fine (but it is using default sans-serif font, which is less than ideal.) However page turning currently seems to be strictly left-to-right.
One of few apps I've seen to be doing well is Kindle (but unfortunately not ePub) and Bookwalker (has their own file format, although also has partial support for reading ePub file). My current solution for reading Japanese ePub books is to throw them into Bookwalker… which is kinda like second-class citizen in the app.
There are few public domain Japanese novels available in ePub3 format if you wish to have some sample (http://aozora.wook.jp/ click on "ePUBダウンロード".)
This looks really good. I'm not reading anything epub length on my phone but if I were, I'd give this a shot. Big thumbs up for a great product page as well. So many people screw this up. Two problems I noticed with the website: - No way to see the price of the app without clicking on the App Store button. Maybe this was intentional? - "Personalize your reading experience" part has three different screenshots showing…
Hello dombili! Thanks for the feedback. :) - App price not on site: Not quite intentional, no. I plan on changing that. - Screenshot inconsistency: Hmm. Oh - actually, that is the same part of the book, roughly, I believe the paragraph margins changed, however. Something to fix. - Mac version: Yes, actually. Right now I'm stabilizing Hyphen, but once I've done that and implemented Syncing, there will likely be a Mac…
Good luck with the app, I hope it does well.

My pleasure! Great to hear that Mac version is a possibility. Is following you on twitter the best way to get notified about that? Good luck with the app, I hope it does well.

About CJK, at first I think there need to be a proper support for vertical writing layout and support for turning pages from right-to-left[1]. Hyphen currently seems to be handling vertical writing quite fine (but it is using default sans-serif font, which is less than ideal.) However page turning currently seems to be strictly left-to-right. One of few apps I've seen to be doing well is Kindle (but unfortunately not…
