What's Analog Book Reader?

Analog Book Reader is an e-book reader by a bookworm. PDF and zip (e.g. comics) are supported.

I have tried many e-book reader but all of them were hard to use for me. I just wanted to read books "analog way" so I made this app. The "analog way" I think is as follows:

I want to...

• flip through all the pages quickly
• open the exact page in a thick book
• see another pages temporarily
• see a figure on previous page
• mark where I am reading right now
• feel how long I have to read with thickness

Features

• Flip fast with storing all the pages in memory
• Scroll to exact page even with touch
• Put bookmark anywhere in a page
• Scribble on a book
• Pin a image from another page
• Measuring reading time
• Bookshelf
