Auto-scroll
Auto-scroll is now here! The auto-scroll feature is designed to enhance the reading experience for EPUBs, PDFs, and Comics. It intelligently scrolls the page according to the reading pace you set, ensuring a seamless and hands-free experience.

It might not be immediately apparent but auto-scroll has the following main benefits:
- Hands-Free Reading: The biggest advantage is that auto-scroll allows readers to enjoy a book without having to manually turn pages or swiping the screen. This especially useful for those who are eating, playing an instrument or engaged in any activity that occupies their hands.
- Consistent Reading Pace: It promotes a consistent reading pace, which can be beneficial for readers who are practicing speed reading or who want to maintain a steady reading speed.
- Accessibility: For individuals with disabilities that limit manual dexterity, such as arthritis, carpal tunnel or hand tremors & others, auto-scroll makes reading more accessible and less physically demanding.
