Put your books in full screen, and prevent baby fingers from leaving the app and accidentally ordering pizza to be delivered to your house.

When enabled:

  • App goes full screen (no top toolbar shown)
  • Back/Home buttons in Android do not work unless the magical incantation specified by your OS is pressed.
  • Phone can be unlocked using the native unlock mechanism provided by your phone, or by tapping the unlock button on screen several times in succession.

Limitations:

  • Will remain in the one book. Might be nice to allow babies to explore al of their books in the safety of baby mode.

👆 Add option to swipe pages

From the settings, choose whether you want to turn book pages via:

  • Swiping
  • Touching the edge of the pages

Volume buttons still work as expected.

In the future, this could perhaps be enhanced to allow you to select more than one mechanism, but didn't offer that right now because the "Touching the edge of the pages" prevents the "Swiping" from working due to the large buttons overlayed on the page.

When reading a book, you can now press volume down to go to the next page, or up to go to the previous.

Fixes #8.

Add warning regarding Wikipedia content:

This app is intended for adults to produce books for kids, or kids to make books under the supervision of adults.

Making books means searching Wikipedia. If you don't let your child search Wikipedia, you shouldn't let them make books unsupervised (but they can READ books :)
