the app should automatically save where im at. it sometimes does but doesnt most of the time. also a top to bottom infinite scrolling reader rather than a left to right swipe reader would be nice to have as an option

Now I'm using a Epub reader package. In upcoming version I will change it to a new Epub reader.

Actually I don't like the reader feature... this project should focus on "downloader" & related functionality not as reader, book tracker/organizer, eBook converter etc... But since we're already using it as reader can we use other engines for e.g. KOReader uses both coolreader engine (their own fork) & MuPDF engine. Similarly Librera uses MuPDF engine as well. BTW MuPDF supports PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, CBZ, EPUB, FB2 etc but KOReader use it for specifically PDF & for epub & other reflowable files they use coolreader engine.

Yes I should migrate from current Epub reader to a better reader engine like MuPDF. Will work on it. Thank you
