The update to the new version could have been handle better. Importing the old library was pretty slow. Once done the app feels pretty snappy though. My main problem now is that it doesn't remember I set the theme to dark if I also use a custom font. It resets on the next restart. (I use dark red letters on black, for reading at night And If it's not in dark mode then I get white bars above and below my page, kinda defeating the whole idea of a low light, no blue light font.)

Hello, you can either force the dark mode or the light mode or let it adapt to your system settings (this is the first option you see in the app). If it still does not work, please email us at help@demarque.com so we can look into this. Thank you.

I originally installed aldiko, and it did what I needed for some time. however, after it changed to cantook it is not great. when I went to attempt to move my files to a better app, I can suddenly no longer find them! they are nowhere to be found in my local files. these are files that I purchased, not from cantook but they are no longer in my local storage and I cannot export from within the app either. Tell me where you hid my books!

so ive been using the app since June and it's been great especially the e-reader, however recently I started listing to the books and there is this error that has started occurring a TTS navigation error. Im not sure how to fix it or what. I enjoy the e-reader greatly but I do need this error to be fixed is there anything I can do.
