Describe the feature

I would like it if the Vertical reading mode had the same options as the Horizontal mode - to be able to switch to single pages with swipe navigation, instead of only being able to scroll.

Feature Motivation

I read a lot of both manga and western comics, whose reading directions are different. It's a hassle for me to have to manually set the reading direction for each book just so that the swipe gestures make sense, if i set the default to left-right i'll have to manually change it for all manga, and the inverse for right-left mode. I like to use the vertical reader with up-down swiping gestures to turn the page because it's agnostic to the reading direction of a book. I can just use the same muscle memory to turn the page for either type of book, and I don't need to manually set the reading mode.

Anything Else?

I think it would also be useful if in landscape mode it either stretched to fit the width of the screen (like in the webcomic mode) or if there was an option to go between a full page and screen fit. Sort of like the old manga storm app.
