App Offline Reading

Solistia

Not sure if it's a possibility, but I'd love the ability to read in the app without having to be connected to the internet. Current case being, I'm getting on a long flight at the end of the week, and would like to be able to read some of these novels without paying $50 for the in-flight wifi. Could also help other situations, but this one is the most immediate concern to me (obviously won't be able to be implemented in time for this flight, but hopefully future flights).

@Solistia Also want the option to read offline :pensive:

Hmmm... You can always buy the E-book for the flight.

@Pmf96 if the new ones had that option I absolutely would, but unfortunately ones like UchiMusume, that is not yet an option.

@Solistia oh... Yeah, and it will take a while till the E-book comes out :worried:
Don't you have an older series that you still have to read from J-Novel? :thinking:

You could use the web reader. Open every title/part you want to read in its own tab. Once the text has loaded, you can disconnect from the internet, as turning the pages doesn't require a connection. As long as your browser doesn't unload the tabs, that ought to work.

@Jaquobus

Wouldn't that be too many tabs though?
... and if one random tab didn't show the text it would be horrible :cry:

@Pmf96 you could PDF the tabs and export them

@Jaquobus My browser unloads tabs if there's too much going on. :cry:

@Solistia I definitely think we can implement that, but I'll need to do a lot of testing. Next version, perhaps!

That'd be great. Maybe you could release a beta app apk of Version 2 in advance of the main release.

This is also very important to me - as often I am places where I don't have Internet connection but want to be able to read. I don't want to buy epubs - I like the subscription model.
