Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Right now, it only supports page-by-page (horizontal) navigation. It would be great to be able to switch between page flip and vertical scroll modes depending on what I want.

Why would this be helpful?

I’m used to reading with vertical scrolling from manhwa, manhua, and manga, so it feels smoother for me. Adding vertical scroll would make reading more continuous without cutting off sentences and the experience, since I can just scroll while reading to keep the text flowing.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

An option in the reader settings: When enabled, the page scrolls smoothly down instead of flipping pages.

If there is a better way to transition that would be also great.

Android App - 0.10.1

In addition to vertical scroll, it would be nice to add a continuous vertical scroll for Manhwa, Manhua, Webtoons.
