I do not know if this has been suggested before, but if there was a toggle between one page stacked on top of each other (normal) and two pages side by side (book).

Hello~

The ability to read two pages side-by-side is a very popular feature in many manga reading or picture display programs because it allows you to view the images more like they were intended. These programs typically offer you a large amount of control, allowing you to correct minor issues like page pairs or sizing issues for more fluid reading. In a javascript environment, the script would likely have to do all of this automatically without much user control.

The issues I can foresee with this are in the number of pages and the availability of premade double pages~

Double pages would have to be displayed on their own as they are already twice the size of a normal page. Doing this would likely require a dynamic comparison of the image width of all pages and could be effected by odd variable sizes or image load failure if written simply~

Secondly, release format comes into play. Many scanlation groups add custom introduction pages and credit pages, which could skew the display of a chapter by creating uneven numbers, especially if it also contains a premade double-page. The script would have to buffer all of the image data before displaying and decide which "extra" image(s) should appear alone~

All of this made more complicated by the fact that OMFCL still currently does not have an options menu of any notable sort to enable or disable it~ :)

With all of that said, though, I think this would be an interesting although difficult to adequately implement feature. It is certainly possible but I am sure there would be some major impact on loading times especially on slower connections and aesthetic value of the page.

As a widescreen laptop user, I support the notion~ :)
