Hey there!

I have tried many text apps in the app store so far including stanza and classics... and with both I really like the page- turning feature. Would it be possible that You also introduce this to Mantis Bible Study? It would be really helpful for me, since I can't read well with the automatic scrolling, I end up being sea-sick...

cheers, mat

At this point it's unlikely that we'd be able to do that. As a "Bible study tool", Mantis is designed to scroll, so you can easily bring a specific passage into view on the screen.

It gets a lot more complicated with our inline display options, so as you tap on things the display expands to accommodate the new text, so a paged-based system would be pretty difficult to navigate and would get confusing pretty fast.

I was dreading that one... after thinking this through I am sure the solution You picked (and it's shortcomings) are worth remaining for the sake of such marvelous things as BYOSB... keep on amazing us!

I was thinking about this and I stumbled over a solution that gives me the feeling to turn a page while it scrolls down: if one could single tap a certain area of the screen (upper/lower area) the screen would autoscroll fast until the last line on the bottom is the first on top. This way I get rid of the unprecise finger scrolling while not needing the automatic scroller. Check "GoodReader" for a similar UI implementation!
