Introducing Glide App for reading books… I started from the most popular one… Bible  
let me know what you think?

Looks great. I like how you have kept flipping pages as “loading…”

Very neat and simple and yet has that old feeling 🙂  
Like your idea of using the gif for the pre page load and nice job with the font as well which makes reading lot easier.

I tried to click on the settings and change the language or the font size that doesnt seem to work ( Chrome on Mac ), wondering if its an issue at my end only.

Works perfectly fine now 🙂 Yeah probably i was accessing it when you were doing some changes.

Hopefully in the future such issues wont come as i presume the team is planning for a more systematic way of pushing the changes in one shot.

It is a Pro App, but free looks the same… only deference there is no left panel.

Sorry, but i don’t understand… can you write in English?..  
To make a button open a specific text?  
Make a custom action for this button to open screen and set colums with value from previous screen… this value will be row ID of the text… now you can have relation to that row id

You need to be more specific… search the web like google? Or go to specific link? Or scrap data from website?
