Description

User Ocgineer on discord said: "It seems the reader user setting only has Image Reader/Book Reader but nothing for webtoon to (automatically) use the webtoon reader mode. Every webtoon i now open, including continue reading, uses the set image reader settings. Might be something to add a library type 'webtoon' that then uses webtoon reader mode by default?

Description

Possibility to define a default reading mode for each library. Assuming I have two manga/comics/books/whatever; one is in regular page format and one is in in vertical page format. For one I want to simply tap the side to go to the next page but for the other I want to use the infinite-scroller.

Sorry to be a pest @majora2007 - I know this was roadmap several versions ago on feathub - any eta on this?

Its honestly the only thing that drives me nuts about Kavita - as I tend to read new chapters of multiple series together and having to jump btw formats constantly for left/right and long stripe is super annoying.

I just started discussing this with the team to finalize my plan for implementation. It's also very annoying that Kavita is lacking a feature. I just haven't had time to really figure it out. I'll soon start firming it up and discussing with community.
