[ENHANCEMENT] Add option so tap is forward only
Specifically I am requesting it for the Android but might be useful on other devices as well.
Please add an option to Settings -> Page turning. The option should be called "Finger tap only turns pages forward".
When the option is disabled the functionally does not change from how it is now. A finger tap on the left hand side will move the screen back one page. A finger tap on the right hand side will move the screen forward one page. A finger tap in the center of the screen will display the book info and the tool bar.
When the option is enabled a finger tap on the left hand side of the screen will act the same as a finger tap on the right hand side of the screen. Both will move the screen forward by one page. A finger tap in the center of the screen will still display the book info and the tool bar.
The reason I am requesting this is that I like to just tap on the screen to move forward one page. If I need to move back a page I use a "finger flick". I'm left handed and so when I do tap the screen I generally tap the left hand side.
This matches the configuration I setup in CoolReader (Android) and MegaReader (iOS). FBReaderJ has a much better OPDS browser than CoolReader. This is the only feature FBReaderJ is missing to make me dump CoolReader entirely.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Android development and I would rather not use this project as my first attempt.
I would prefer to see the ability to switch the screen tap to the opposite sides of the page. ie: tapping the left side of the screen moves forward a page, tapping right side pages backward. As well, other apps allow the user to set page turning to the top/bottom of the page, which would work for me as well. I have always used the left side of the screen for page turning(since windows mobile 2002 even) and this FBReader is an awesome app, but I find myself not using it because of the lack of ability to switch page turning to be more useful.(I read one handed with device in left hand, and is awkward to page forward with right side of screen!)
