What about in the device manager (type Device Manager in Start Menu)? Is it showing Android ADB Interface? Check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1298 ... peria-play or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1272595

Since the new app only supports from Android 2.2 onwards (which sadly I don't have), I suggest modifying the line "...on any Android devices running version 1.6X or higher..." from the announcement on the main page.

Meanwhile I'll continue using the old app since it still supports 2.1 and works good enough. ._.

Anyone know of a way to get screen reader, aka text-to-speech, program to read this? I've been looking around and trying a few but all the ones that exist on the android are limited to a handful of major programs. IDK why.

I don't think there is one. TTS (Text to speech) has to be enabled and put in by the developer of the app for it to be in the app. I'm not sure what the demand for TTS for this app is. I've never really liked that synthesized voice anyway and wouldn't want to hear it in a story. Can you imagine what it'd be like if that voice was reading out emotional scenes? For me, it would ruin the story, I guess.

I'm sorry, but can I have a DDL for the .apk file? I've been trying downloading from Play Store many times but always failed and i don't know why.

Try to PM Erakk, as he is the one who have the signed google play. If you want to use beta build (cannot update from google play), I can upload it for you.

I've noticed now that any large images (2 page images) gets cut off and you are unable to view the entire thing unless you tap on it and view it there. Was this intentional?

Here it might be easier to just show you.

As you can see in the screenshot, some of the image can't be seen because its too big to fit on the entire screen.
Unlike in previous versions, there's no way to scroll left or right to see the full image.
Did some investigating and I think that novel is the only that does it. I only checked 1 other novel though with a large image.
By the way, is the function to sort between updated chapters and new chapters going to be implemented in update history?

forgot the topic, how you want to sort the data? Currently it is sorted by time in descending order (newest first) in the latest dev build.

The novel is High School DxD. The screenshot is from Volume 5: Life.2.

Sorted so that the New chapters and the Updated ones are seperated from each other.
So for example it might show all the new chapters first and then the updated chapters.
It makes it easier for people that are only concerned about new chapters and not just minor updates.

Looking the original source, the image width is defined without any identifier, either someone update the image attribute or you need to add the definition for thumbimage class and adding max-width to fix the issue.
