I was using Moon+ reader, but it has a pause at each chapter and ads.

    Is your Kindle e-ink?

    The general issue with e-ink-based readers and scrolling is that e-ink is designed to be mostly static, with sporadic (preferably partial-page) refreshes; but scrolling needs to have a very high refresh rate that updates the whole page simultaneously if it’s going to be usable.

        e-ink is the screen technology. even if you could replace its OS, that most probably wouldn’t help

    I also prefer scrolling ebooks, and I settled on Librera. I have not found a way to get rid of the blank newline between each “page”, but it’s still better than turning pages.

      I’m liking that one a lot. Scrolling without jerkiness, which is what I was getting with others.

    Librera.

    It’s the second best e-book reader across the board, and the best open source one

        Moon+

        Best ebook app out there. Stable, smooth scrolling, damn near infinite visual arrangements, broad range of settings in general, option for either folder of bookshelf based browsing (matters a lot if you don’t have all your files’ tags perfectly arranged), works well on any kind of screen, and even old devices don’t lag with it under most circumstances.

    I use Koreader on android with scrolling, also side loaded it on my Kobo e-reader (but I prefer paging on eink) you might be able to get it on kindle too

    The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.

      I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books. My Kindle is on airplane mode always and updates are done manually.

        I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books.

        Then why did you buy/acquire a kindle knowing that they do this?

          Kindles are great devices and they’re subsidised, so they’re cheap. It’s perfectly possible to use them on e.g. permanent airplane mode. You don’t even have to buy books from Amazon, if you use Calibre.

          That said I’ll be going Kobo next time because I love buttons.

          But what’s the point? You would want me to feel shame, embarrass me, because I made a mistake?

            No; trying to understand the logic.

            Sell it and buy what you want that does what you want.

    I started looking for an Android reading app a long time ago, and I’ve redone my search a number of times over the years, but none come close to ALreader. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neverland.alreader

    It’s not open source but it’s free and the amount of customization beats any other app I’ve tried. For the scrolling to work to my liking I needed to dick around in the settings a bit to get it exactly to my liking, but the fact that I needed to do so is only due to the number of options available.

    There are options for network libraries, but with the size of ebooks being what they are, I’ve not messed around with this yet.

    Downloading a book to an Android is easy peasy tho

      Looks good. I had to download ALreaderX because the old one wasn’t compatible.

      Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the tip.

    It’s not open source but honestly, I find google play books the best one :))
