About this extension
📖 Eink mode: Transform your web Browse into a comfortable, book-like reading experience, optimal for E Ink devices and also excellent for light-emitting screens!

Tired of endless scrolling on your E Ink reader or tablet, which can often cause laggy motion and ghosting? Eink mode revolutionizes web Browse by presenting webpages in a clean, paginated format, perfectly mimicking the experience of reading an ebook.

Eink mode is also perfectly suited for devices with light-emitting screens such as desktops, iPhones or iPads, freeing your fingers from constant scrolling and allowing your eyes to focus more intently on the text, rather than being distracted by scrolling animations.

⚡️ Key Features:
- Page-Turning Navigation: Effortlessly navigate webpages with simple left and right clicks or taps, using the up or down volume keys, or even Bluetooth page turners.
- Ads removal: remove 80 ~ 90 % of the advertisements on the webpages.
- Dark mode: users with light-emitting screens can choose dark mode to make their eyes more comfortably.
- Rich Gesture Support: Utilize gestures for most functions, providing a quick and convenient way to interact on mobile devices.
- Optimized for E Ink: Reduce battery consumption and make high-quality refresh mode feasible for E Ink devices.
- Adjustable Text Size: Easily zoom in and out with pinch gestures (or keyboard shortcuts) without any text cut-off.
- Highlighting & Annotations: Directly highlight text and write on webpages. Enjoy immediate writing with a stylus or Apple Pencil as you read.
- Maintain Original Styles and Interactive Features: Unlike the built-in reader modes of most browsers, Eink mode preserves the original editorial styling of websites and retains interactive elements such as buttons and embedded content, ensuring you don't miss anything the site authors intended to convey.
- Easily Switch Back to Traditional Scrolling Mode: You can switch back to the traditional scrolling mode if needed by using a gesture or pressing the Esc key.
