This isn't true of apps such as viewers/readers that use App File Sharing.

Syncing is not supported yet, but will be soon. Follow Hyphen on twitter for updates: http://twitter.com/hyphenreader

I think Marvin is great. However, imo, Hyphen differs quite a bit, and offers a more - deeper customization options, Goodreads integration, ADE pages, metadata lookup, emphasis on speed and ease, and so on.

Take the free version for a spin and let me know what you think.

Hi st3fan,

Sorry to hear that. What consistencies are you referring to?

Thanks Johnny!

There is absolutely hyphenation support - you can toggle it on or off in settings, but it is off by default.

It's odd that your first and most prominent screenshot has such bad typography:

  regulation       the       circulation.

Bad typography is my main quibble with the Kindle app. It's been awful for years.

Have you looked into a better flow algorithm, such as the Knuth/Plass [1] algorithm from TeX?

That screenshot has justified text, you can use left, right, and center alignments as well.

That's not really a solution. That will create an awkwardly ragged right margin. Justified text is more readable and makes text look less messy.

I like the Knuth/Plass technique as well, it creates much more uniform and visually appeasing line margins. The reason something like it would be so difficult to implement is that it requires heavy geometric processing every time the content reflows, which would impact Hyphen's performance a lot. Another issue I see is that it would pollute an ePub's DOM more than I'd care for.

Yikes. Is that an iPad Pro? If you could share more details that would be great. There's also the issue tracker you may be interested in: https://github.com/hyphen-reader/hyphen/issues

Hello! Quick question: what triggered this bug for you?

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.

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 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 is perfect, thanks! I've added it to the issue tracker: https://github.com/hyphen-reader/hyphen/issues/9

Thank you, I'm glad you think so. :)

Will do!
