How does it handle fixed-size epubs and (most important) how would you expect it to handle it?
I had the same issue but found this fork and it works great for Japanese novels! Also I agree the dictionary isn’t the best but it’s serviceable… on my old kindle oasis it has been really transformative.

Manga works but the screen size is a bit awkward imo.
I don't think KOReader handles fixed-size epubs terribly well too, and most of my manga (usually bought on Rakuten Kobo) comes in that format.
For reading English or native language books on non-Android e-readers it's a godsend.
