- Brightness control from within the app.
- Built in dictionary: define any word (iOS only).

We’re constantly working to create the best reading experience possible. If you have any suggestions or feedback, we’d love to hear it – please comment below.
Just a head’s up, I had tried to reach a dictionary definition of some random words, and nothing came up. So, as is my bent :-) I looked around the screen and on the bottom left it has “Manage” and bottom right “Search Web” -
The latter seemed self evident, so I touched “Manage” and got quite an impressive list of multiple language dictionaries,including American and British English. Clicking on the little cloud icon with a down pointing arrow, they twirled and circled like my other app updates on my iPhone, re-highlighted a random work (joke) and wallah! definitions!
Plus (yes there’s more!) when I’d installed the second dictionary, now when I highlight “joke” I get two dictionary choices, one American and one English, and can choose which to view.
Nice. Yes, very nice, thank you much! :-)
