How to Create and Manage Your Bookmarks
To create a bookmark, tap on the percentage at the bottom and tap on the option that says Add New Bookmark.

To find what you need, you can use the search option for an easy find. To search for text, tap on the percentage again. At the bottom right, and tap on the search icon at the bottom left.
If you want to go to a specific bookmark, search for it and tap on its from the results.

How to Customize How Your Books Are Sorted
It’s also possible that on the bookshelf, are sorted just the way you want them to be. Tap on the icon that looks like a flashlight at the top, and you’ll see all the ways you can sort the books out.

- All
- Unread
- Reading
- Finished

Conclusion
Moon+ Reader Pro is great if you handle different types of files. Not only does it support various types of files, but it also offers a beautiful design as well. What are your thoughts on the app?
JoeInMissouri says
I was excited at first to discover Moon + but after 2 days of trying to just configure the basics I have changed my mind.
The configuration of the app is extremely obtuse. You could spend a month studding it and still not know much about it.
MY MAIN FRUSTRATION AT THIS TIME IS THAT I HAVE SPENT 8 HOURS JUST TRYING TO GET PAGE CHANGES TO WORK. i HAVE ONLY FIGURE GESTURES CONFIGURED TO CHANGE PAGES..
NOT MATTER WHAT I DO IF I GO FORWARD A PAGE BY AN UPSTROKE OF MY FINGER AND THEN GO BACK WITH A DOWNSTREAM
i AM NOT IN THE SAME PLACE IN THE BOOK THAT I WAS!!!
i THINK THE APP IS FIT FOR THE GARBAGE CAN AT THIS POINT.
Jorg says
Something that should be quite simple, but I can’t figure it out:
Recent books shelf is displayed as a list, but I would like to switch it to a grid, matching my other shelves.
Is it possible at all?
It seems to me that it used to be–and even now, other shelves displayed in the recent list view (like all of the My Favourites) are displayed as grid. So it works for ALL shelves except for the recent list.
Thanks,
MJorg

For some reason my Moon Reader Pro has changed all menus to Russian and I want to return them to English. However I cannot find where to do this even when looking for the Russian word for language (Язык). Can anyone help?
At moon reader home page, swipe from left. The options gear should be at the bottom left. Nearly at the bottom left of the box that pops up, above the backup and restore buttons, is “language.” The one selected is on the right. Another box pops up when you press the current language. Scroll all the way to the top for “system”, or choose a language from the list.

I’m missing a full text search that searches the entire text of a book for an expression. I only found search functions for book titles or markups. Did I oversee something or is such an elemtary function reallymissing?
Robert says
I am having a problem with the app getting stuck on whatever file has been opened from downloads, and I am having another problem with sudden inability to save downloaded files to the attachment folder. Also, as others have commented, the brightness can turn into darkness very easily and can be very difficult to correct. From the look of it, people’s questions are not being answered. I hope that you will take this opportunity to clear up our concerns.
Michael says
Sometimes after opening a non DRM book the brightness level shifts so that the displayed book is too dark to read. I cannot find a setting that governs this or remedy this problem. I have opened the same books in other ebook readers without this problem.. I also cannot find any information about where to find support for this product. Is can anyone point me in a useful direction or offer some assistance?

This is far from a complete guide. How do I display the series number of a book? How do I sort by series number? Why doesn’t the guide cover settings for Bluetooth commands? These are but a few things the guide does not cover

Hi, how do i transfer my ebook including the bookmarks to my new device? Google drive and dropbox are inconsistent
Jill Rogoff says
I can add book to favourites lists without a problem, but am simply not interested in many of the special features. What’s really bugging me is the read filter: at this point, I must have inadvertently pressed something that’s made the filter darken the screen so much, I can’t read a word. And because it’s so dark… I can’t see a way to fix it. Extremely frustrating and annoying, and a huge waste of my precious time trying to fix the darned thing.
Terry says
Hi, is there an audio book app as good as Moon?

Hello. I use moonreader pro . I would like to arrange bookmarks to display vertically (as opposed to a horizontal format) so as to turn them into an outline. When I first started using moonreader, the bookmarks we set up to list vertically, in consecutive order. Is there any way to set them up that way anymore?

Keith says
Robin, I’ve had the same problem for two years. Page sizes or shapes within a pdf may vary, but unlike the way Adobe readers standardize every page’s size the same for viewing while reading, MoonReader Pro shows them as is. Yes, you CAN tweak every different page to be roughly full frame, but that never quite gets it right, then you have to do it again and again and it gets old really really fast. If an Adobe Reader can do this, why can’t MoonReader Pro? I’ve just read something that suggests that there might, just might be a new version of the PDF plugin, but people seem to think it’s a disaster that keeps crashing. Anyone else know about this problem?
Robin George says
Hello people.. I can’t seem to lock a particular zoom position for my pdf in moon+ reader 5.2.9… Except update is there any option to freeze page into particular zoom for every pages

HELP
Bluetooth (headphone, wired also) operation not behaving.
In all other TTS operations on my ANDROID 9, and previous flavors, the TTS would stop and not then point to the Phones” speaker. if the distance between the phone and headset exceeds the effective range for the situation. Inconveinent at best and socially embarassing at worst.
I have read manuals on line as well as FAQ’s and, other than mentioning the apps response to buetooth and headset controls, I have NOT found the setting that would Kill the TTS in order to avoid unwanted speaker function. Is there a setting I haven’t found or have I found an issue that needs attention.
Thanks for any help That I can get.
Aaron Wade says
Just a note that using the ‘clear all’ feature of bookmark context menu doesn’t actually delete highlights from your document (at least for me); it just removes them all from your bookmark list. I still had to go through the whole doc and manually delete all my highlights today when I realized I was marking up the Dropbox copy of a pdf that my whole class was using.
Martin Zwick says
My Moon Reader makes errors when it saves highlighted text that I have added comments to. In the pdf itself, the words in the highlighted text looks fine, but in the list of highlighted selections plus my comments, the words look like a poor OCR that doesn’t detect letters correctly. I haven’t seen anyone else comment about this. A lot of words are just garbled.
