Dear Mike,
I recently tried to open a Taiwanese epub-Book in Pleco. When I open it in iBooks it is displayed correctly: vertical columns of characters from right to left. However, when I open it with Pleco reader it is displayed in "Western layout /Mainland China layout" - left to right horizontal lines.
Is this a problem with my eBook or does Pleco reader not support vertical columns yet? I thought the reader uses iOS HTML engine to render epub, so I wonder why the result is not the same.
It is mainly about optics - I somehow really like the feel of looking at vertically written Chinese. Also , the parenthesis and interpunctation marks used for vertical text don't look well when written horizontally.
If vertical text is not implemented yet I guess I will convert the book to PDF for the interim. Do you know what page size fits the screen best?
Thanks!
