I have a Kindle, but it doesn't scroll and I'm a scroller. Anybody got an Android app that scrolls ebooks really well? Preferably open source and able to access the web (where my library resides)?

I was using Moon+ reader, but it has a pause at each chapter and ads.

The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.

I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books. My Kindle is on airplane mode always and updates are done manually.

Then why did you buy/acquire a kindle knowing that they do this?

It could definitely have been acquired before they understood/cared about that.

Kindles are great devices and they’re subsidised, so they’re cheap. It’s perfectly possible to use them on e.g. permanent airplane mode. You don’t even have to buy books from Amazon, if you use Calibre.

That said I’ll be going Kobo next time because I love buttons.

But what’s the point? You would want me to feel shame, embarrass me, because I made a mistake?
