• Search function.
• Full screen support.
• Persistent reading state, such as page position and zoom level, across different reading sessions.

• Bookmark support.
• Language encoding settings to display charset properly in case of issues.
• Low light mode support.
• Support for embedded PDF files.
• Limited support for embedded MHT files (fix in progress).

Known Issues on Kit Kat:

• In Kit Kat, due to changes in Google's webview engine with Chrome, which have many bugs and compatibility issues, some features may not work properly. The developer is working on finding workarounds for these issues.
• The reflow function is broken for some CHM files in Kit Kat. As a result, users may need to scroll left/right to view the pages. After the latest upgrade to version 4.4.2, Google partially fixed this issue, so reflow works again for some files, but not all.
• The set zoom level function is not working properly in Kit Kat, causing the zoom level to reset when switching to a different page. After the 4.4.2 upgrade, Google has been attempting to fix this issue, and now the zoom level persists. However, a new issue has been noticed: for certain files, once zoomed in, it is not possible to zoom back out to the original level. The workaround is to 'clear history' and start from scratch.

Permissions Required:

• Internet Access Permission: required to open external links to the internet embedded in some CHM files.

FAQs:

1. If you are unable to see the menu buttons to enable all functions:
In Android 4.0 and above, the menu button is represented by a list of three vertical dots located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. If clicking a link on the content page has a delayed response on certain devices:
As the content page is an HTML page, the browser may interpret a prolonged touch as a pan event rather than a click event, causing the link not to open. To resolve this, ensure that you click very briefly and do not touch the screen for an extended period of time.
