Thanks.

I installed Koreader but I think I'll stay with CoolReader and do without progress sync.

The two deal breakers are

- I can change the brightness of the screen in CoolReader by sliding a finger on the left of the screen. I must use a menu in Koreader and that makes brightness control almost useless.

- There is no way to change the color of the text. I like red on black in night mode. White text is too bright in a dark room. Reading thought the issues on GitHub it seems that maybe a custom CSS can do the trick but I don't feel like investing time in that. Progress syncing is not so important to me.

Strange, because Koreader has this functionality. On my kindle paperwhite I can slide up and down on the left side of screen to change intensity, on my oasis I can additionally slide up and down on the right side to change color temperature.

Which platform isn't it working on?

Android. However I found Expert Mode and activated it. Then Taps and gestures, Gesture Manager, One-Finger Swype and there are the two swyping gestures to set brightness.

One is done. Text color next, maybe.

As a side note: I always thought that CoolReader settings UI was a mess but Koreader's one is much worse: less funky but even less efficient.
