FAQ
Q: Is there any content available out of the box, or do I need to import everything myself?
A: Liseur ships with a curated set of public‑domain classics from Project Gutenberg, giving you an instant reading experience. From there you can add your own files, cloud libraries, or any OPDS source you prefer.
Q: What reading modes does Liseur support?
A: You can choose the traditional page‑turning experience, or enable continuous auto‑scroll for hands‑free reading. Both modes respect the same layout engine, so the text looks identical whether you swipe or scroll.
Q: How does Liseur protect my eyes on different screen types?
A: The app includes a range of themes—from a warm, paper‑like view for LCDs to a pitch‑black option that maximizes battery life on OLED screens. There are also dedicated refresh settings for e‑ink devices, and you can fine‑tune margins, line spacing, and font size to suit your comfort.
