I do not like the upgrade. It doesn't have the slider button to move progress along manually, you have to go to a menu for it, and you have to know the exact page that you're looking for. I also hate that the books are now displayed like the Kindle and you have to swipe to get to your other books. The easy access to the bookmark is also something that I miss from the old app. I went back to the Aldiko Classic, even though it keeps telling me it is not tailored to the new version of Android.

This was my favorite e-reader, too many changes to the UI and options. Where's the option to import books from your external? Why the pale interface or the changes to the library , where's the recent reads? Too many why's . The UI and other options missing weren't broken, why fix them. Fix what's broken compatibility issues but please leave the rest alone. it's not about a positive experience .We might as well just buy physical books . this is what happens when other people take over

The new update is awful. I can no longer go to a specific page in the book. Options/settings that were easily accessible at the bottom of the screen are gone. Also, one of the options that made Aldiko great was the left edge slide for quick brightness adjustment, as I read at different times of the day/night. Now it's buried in that awful semi-transparent options menu which is not intuitive at all. Also, suggestions take up half of "my" library. Unless things improve, I'm back to Aldiko Classic.
