Ability to change viewing options in the in browser ebook reader
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I read an ebook in browser (epub/mobi), it is a white background with a static text size and font.
Describe the solution you'd like I would like the option to change these (i.e. a list of fonts to select from, font size adjustment, a few pre-made color profiles, such as dark mode or parchment).
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Would love that too. And also annotations. For epub.js it is greatly implemented by this project: https://github.com/e-alfred/epubreader
Related to #1645 and #918. This and progress-syncing (#863) would make calibre-web feature complete with any reader out there.
Something like the reader on Firefox would be great. It just offers three styles; white background, sepia and dark grey background. I tried the dark theme but it doesn't affect the web reader.
Anyway, this is an incredible piece of software. Thanks!
For annotations, I like hypothes.is, a web extension that would have all your web highlights and annotations in one place, with free api access. I would love progress syncing and dark mode.
Giving this a bump, I feel (as @beningodfrey4 said) that this really would make calibre-web a more fully rounded reader option.
I have a lot of digital books, even from big publishers, whose layout are not correct. In Calibre Desktop, I have about 20-30 CSS optional rules that make 99% of the epubs look good and as pleasant as the paper versions.
Does Calibre-Web offer an option to overwrite the reader's CSS settings?
If not, it would be a good idea.

Would you mind sharing your custom CSS rules so that others can use them?
Hi @moltra,
I saw your message a month ago but I deleted my stylesheet by accident recently and I was lazy to rewrite it.
But it's done, I copied some notes in a Gist that you can check here: https://gist.github.com/tkapias/a10b4628f257864e84106ef0c72dd845
