## Summary
* Consolidate chapter page data into single file
* Header structure of the file stays the same, following the page count,
we now put a LUT offset
* The page data is all then appended to this file
* Finally the LUT is appended to the end of the file, and the page count
is updated
* This will also significantly improve the duration of cache cleanup
which takes a while to scan the directory and cleanup content
* Remove page file version as it's all tied up into the section file now
* Bumped section file version to 7
* Moved section content into sub directory
* Updated docs
## Additional Context
* Benchmarks:
* Generating 74 pages of content from a chapter in Jade Legacy took:
* master: 6,229ms

* Speedup of 67%
* Without progress bar UI updates:

• What is the goal of this PR?
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.
• What changes are included?
◦ Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦ Settings / Configuration
▪ Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪ landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪ Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪ “Landscape Reading”
▪ “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦ EPUB Reader
▪ In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦ EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪ Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.
Additional Context
• Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
• Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
• Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦ Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪ Landscape reading in both directions:
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦ Open the same book:
▪ In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪ Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Improve reliability and user experience during chapter indexing by
adding retry logic for SD card operations and a visual progress bar.
* **What changes are included?**
- **Retry logic**: Add 3 retry attempts with 50ms delay for ZIP to SD
card streaming to handle timing issues after display refresh
- **Progress bar**: Display a visual progress bar (0-100%) during
chapter indexing based on file read progress, updating every 10% to
balance responsiveness with e-ink display limitations
## Additional Context
* **Problem observed**: When navigating quickly through books with many
chapters (before chapter titles finish rendering), the "Indexing..."
screen would appear frozen. Checking the serial log revealed the
operation had silently failed, but the UI showed no indication of this.
Users would likely assume the device had crashed. Pressing the next
button again would resume operation, but this behavior was confusing and
unexpected.
* **Solution**:
- Retry logic handles transient SD card timing failures automatically,
so users don't need to manually retry
- Progress bar provides visual feedback so users know indexing is
actively working (not frozen)
* **Why timing issues occur**: After display refresh operations, there
can be timing conflicts when immediately starting SD card write
operations. This is more likely to happen when rapidly navigating
through chapters.
* **Progress bar design**: Updates every 10% to avoid excessive e-ink
refreshes while still providing meaningful feedback during long indexing
operations (especially for large chapters with CJK characters).
* **Performance**: Minimal overhead - progress calculation is simple
byte counting, and display updates use `FAST_REFRESH` mode.
## Summary
* Use single unified cache file for book spine, table of contents, and
core metadata (title, author, cover image)
* Use new temp item store file in OPF parsing to store items to be
rescaned when parsing spine
* This avoids us holding these items in memory
* Use new toc.bin.tmp and spine.bin.tmp to build out partial toc / spine
data as part of parsing content.opf and the NCX file
* These files are re-read multiple times to ultimately build book.bin
## Additional Context
* Spec for file format included below as an image
* This should help with:
* #10
* #60
* #99
## Summary
* This PR drastically reshapes the structure of the codebase, moving
from the concept of "Screens" to "Activities", restructing the files and
setting up the concept of subactivities.
* This should help with keep the main file clean and containing all
functional logic in the relevant activity.
* CrossPointState is now also a global singleton which should help with
accessing it from within activities.
## Additional Context
* This is probably going to be a bit disruptive for people with open
PRs, sorry 😞
* white sleep screen
* quicker pwr button
* no extra spacing between paragraphs
* Added settings class with de/serialization and whiteSleepScreen setting to control inverting the sleep screen
* Added Settings screen for real, made settings a global singleton
* Added setting for extra paragraph spacing.
* fixed typo
* Rework after feedback
* Fixed type from bool to uint8
* First pass at moving to SDK EInkDisplay library
* Add 2-bit grayscale text and anti-aliased rendering of text
* Render status bar for empty chapters
* Refresh screen every 15 pages to avoid ghosting
* Simplify boot and sleep screens
* Give FileSelectionScreen task more stack memory
* Move text around slightly on Boot and Sleep screens
* Re-use existing buffer and write to whole screen for 'partial update'
* Add expat and swap out ERB HTML parser
* Increase EpubHtmlParserSlim file buffer to 1024 bytes
* Cleanup TextBlock functions
* Do not break words when leaving spans
