New Reader Options
Bionic Reading: This feature will bold the initial letters or parts of words, creating "artificial fixation points" allowing your brain to fill in the rest of the word without having to fully focus on them. Toggle it from the Reader settings. Merged from Crosspoint PR 1670
Guide Dots: This feature will add small dots between every word. This is an idea from the book Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour where focusing on the space between words (instead of the words themselves) will allow our peripheral vision to pick up more information. Toggle it from the Reader settings. Note: This will NOT apply when paragraph alignment is set to "Justify" or "Book Style" when the style is defined as "Justify".
Force Paragraph Indents: Have you read a book where the paragraph indents weren't rendering and you ended up with an overwhelming wall of text? This is because sometimes publishers don't always define their indents in ways that the firmware understands. This setting will force every new paragraph to have an indent regardless of how the book is formatted. Works when alignment setting is set to "Left", "Justify", or "Book's Style" (as long as the book's style is not RTL or centered). Toggle it from the Reader settings.
