Dual screen eReader!

[mstrblueskys]

Hey all - I figured out how to get a great dual screen reading experience. It requires the G8X WideMode and the ereader app Librera. It allows you to use side-by-side pages and has a true OLED black mode. There's an ad supported and pro app.

Hope this helps anyone looking for this functionality.

Full credits to OP for discovering the app. In the app, you open any PDF in "Book Mode" and change the view to 2 pages (attached screenshots).
However, you can get the pro version for free from F-Droid: Librera Reader (Book and PDF reader) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader

Nice, I checked it out and works. I do really hope the Kindle app is updated for dual screen. It only allows column view in landscape mode and even when using wide screen the Kindle app doesn't allow columns because it is still in portrait orientation.

Yep - I tried Kindle and Nook apps first with no luck.

Works with moon+reader pro as well. Options -> Miscellaneous -> scroll down to "Some Special Options" section -> enable Dual Pages in landscape mode, tap the gear to the right and "allow dual page in portrait mode".

Works well. But only issue is, it doesn't work with PDF files for me. For PDF i use librera PRO.

Another option

I don't have the G8X, but I do have an Axon M. The app I use is PocketBook, which by default sets the ebook view to 2 pages when you have the app in both screens. It even has the page turn animation and all.

Thanks Everyone.
This works perfect.
@YaminoEndo PocketBook works great for dual screen.

@Mohitpunjabi PocketBook not working for me, can you share the app link and settings used.

Pocket book is available on playstore.
Also install wide view app from playstore as well.
Then enable wide view from notification panel.
It should work.
