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

Is your Kindle e-ink?

The general issue with e-ink-based readers and scrolling is that e-ink is designed to be mostly static, with sporadic (preferably partial-page) refreshes; but scrolling needs to have a very high refresh rate that updates the whole page simultaneously if it’s going to be usable.

Yeah that’s the problem. I would change the OS but your battery life would go to s***.

e-ink is the screen technology. even if you could replace its OS, that most probably wouldn’t help

I also prefer scrolling ebooks, and I settled on Librera. I have not found a way to get rid of the blank newline between each “page”, but it’s still better than turning pages.

I’m liking that one a lot. Scrolling without jerkiness, which is what I was getting with others.

Librera.

It’s the second best e-book reader across the board, and the best open source one

Moon+

Best ebook app out there. Stable, smooth scrolling, damn near infinite visual arrangements, broad range of settings in general, option for either folder of bookshelf based browsing (matters a lot if you don’t have all your files’ tags perfectly arranged), works well on any kind of screen, and even old devices don’t lag with it under most circumstances.

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.

I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books.

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

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.

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

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