The least annoying reader on Android I've found is moon reader pro. It feels a lot worse to me than maple reader on iOS though.

A lot of people seem to recommend KOReader (it might be because it can be installed on a lot of readers that don't have Android though), and actually reading is fine, but browsing your library is awful. It's completely free without anti features though (on fdroid if it isn't on the play store).

Awesome - thank you! You also gave me the idea to install F-Droid (which lead me to Droidify too!).

Thanks!

Try Librera from F-Droid. I only wanted a pdf reader, and got that and an epub reader/ebook manager too. Apparently it’s also good for music manuscript too but I haven’t used it for that.

It's crazy how different different apps render the same text in the same font.

I ended up having to force roboto thin to get something close to how moon reader displays regular roboto.

I'm giving it a shot now, though. I do like that nice side bar that gives you fine control over how your library is displayed, with different profiles for different things.

It feels like a clown phone/tablet it’s so much bigger! 😂

I grew up in the green section in North East England and can assure you no one says it like “cone”

No, it’s an inhumane anti-personnel mine.

A IAPM?

Should not be confused with another gruesome anti-personel weapon IHPMS.

Sorry. Hanging head in shame, etc. I found it mildly entertaining how grossly wrong it was on every single level.

feedum_sneedson ,

I still looked at it, that’s content creation baby.

I enjoyed it, they need to lighten up.

Post-industrial depression landscape in the Cumbrian mountains? Or Yorkshire? The Pennines?

@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk avatar

I know. 12 maps, 0 correct.

Ephera , (edited ) to casualuk in A divided nation

I was very confused by the shape of this United Kingdom. For reference, this is what it + the non-UK part of Ireland actually looks like:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/British_Isles_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg/1280px-British_Isles_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg.png

I’m guessing, they left out all the islands, but even then, it still doesn’t look terribly accurate to me, so no idea…

Edit: Added clarification about Southern Ireland.

GiveOver ,

Careful what you call United Kingdom! They left out Ireland because it’s not part of UK

Ephera ,

Ah yeah, good point. I was very confused by Southern Ireland missing on their map, too, but my comment made it sound like that’s part of the UK.

Hossenfeffer OP ,
@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk avatar

You also want to be careful using terms like ‘Southern Ireland’. Northern Ireland is a thing, and the Republic of Ireland is a thing…

Ephera ,

Yes, I decided to call it “Southern Ireland”, because I doubt many people outside of Europe will know which one of the two Irelands is the “Republic of Ireland”.

I did look up beforehand, if I’m allowed to say “Southern Ireland” without being crucified and Wikipedia said yes maybe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ireland

They rotated it slightly to get the south coast more horizontal and binned off most islands (the Shetlands and Orkneys I can understand but the Isle of Man wasn’t in the way).so they could pack more into the space.

hitmyspot ,

Wow, that dam between northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has really come along in this better map. United Kingdom is great Britain and northern Ireland, for reference.

Mojojojo1993 , (edited ) to casualuk in A divided nation

Mostly attacking Scotland and anywhere that isn’t london. Shite.

Accents are a million so not a good way to divide.

Also whoever did this. Do you think Scot’s sit around eating haggis all day drinking whiskey and playing the bagpipes ?

A child perhaps or London knob. Racist

hitmyspot ,

Can you point to where the map hurt you?

It pokes fun at londoners just as much as northerners. In fact, id say it’s crueller to the south west and Wales than anywhere.

Mojojojo1993 ,

Where does it poke fun at Londoners ? It’s just stereotypes to most places.

hitmyspot ,

Yes it’s stereotypes.

The London stereotype here is where London is referenced: Funny accents. Suburban sprawl. Craft beer types Islam fundamentalists.

Mojojojo1993 ,

Funny accents is everywhere. Suburban sprawl. Everywhere.

Islam extremes.

Everywhere.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, as are all the other traits. It’s the stereotype or how common they are that is being poked fun at here.

Per your comparison, most of Scotland is not urban sprawl, even if it exists there.

Mojojojo1993 ,

Define Scotland. Largest populations will be urban scrawl. Glasgow Edinburgh, other

hitmyspot ,

Lol, yes, but most of Scotland is not urban sprawl. Most of the southeast between London and Brighton is.

echodot ,

It says the landscape of Yorkshire, The Lake District, and The Dales is, post industrial.

Has this person never been outside of London? It just sounds like who doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about.

hitmyspot ,

I like that you think the poster submitted original content.

Did you know that in London, there are people from the other regions of the UK and also from overseas. It’s a mass generalisation. The map uses ellipses and circles.

Don’t take it too seriously.

Diplomjodler ,

Of course. All while wearing kilts and tossing tree trunks.

Hossenfeffer OP ,
@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk avatar

I assumed the whole thing was designed to offend absolutely everyone.

Sunfoil ,

I think it might not have been entirely serious, mate.

Mojojojo1993 ,

I think racist comments aren’t meant to be serious. Doesn’t change the outcome.

I grasp that but I don’t find it amusing. It’s just crap stereotypes.

Maybe try a bit harder next time. Something original. Maybe something about Scot’s being tightfisted or shagging sheep. Something brand new
