I was using Moon+ reader, but it has a pause at each chapter and ads.
It’s not open source but honestly, I find google play books the best one :))
Is your Kindle e-ink?
The general issue with e-ink-based readers and scrolling is that e-ink is designed to be mostly static, with sporadic (preferably partial-page) refreshes; but scrolling needs to have a very high refresh rate that updates the whole page simultaneously if it’s going to be usable.
Yeah that’s the problem. I would change the OS but your battery life would go to s***.
I also prefer scrolling ebooks, and I settled on Librera. I have not found a way to get rid of the blank newline between each “page”, but it’s still better than turning pages.
I’m liking that one a lot. Scrolling without jerkiness, which is what I was getting with others.
The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.
I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books. My Kindle is on airplane mode always and updates are done manually.

Then why did you buy/acquire a kindle knowing that they do this?
It could definitely have been acquired before they understood/cared about that.
I use Lithium on my Android. It scrolls.
Librera.
It’s the second best e-book reader across the board, and the best open source one
What is #1 overall?
Moon+
Best ebook app out there. Stable, smooth scrolling, damn near infinite visual arrangements, broad range of settings in general, option for either folder of bookshelf based browsing (matters a lot if you don’t have all your files’ tags perfectly arranged), works well on any kind of screen, and even old devices don’t lag with it under most circumstances.
Lithium has a continuous scrolling option.
I started looking for an Android reading app a long time ago, and I’ve redone my search a number of times over the years, but none come close to ALreader. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neverland.alreader
It’s not open source but it’s free and the amount of customization beats any other app I’ve tried. For the scrolling to work to my liking I needed to dick around in the settings a bit to get it exactly to my liking, but the fact that I needed to do so is only due to the number of options available.
There are options for network libraries, but with the size of ebooks being what they are, I’ve not messed around with this yet.
Downloading a book to an Android is easy peasy tho
Looks good. I had to download ALreaderX because the old one wasn’t compatible.
Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the tip.
I use Koreader on android with scrolling, also side loaded it on my Kobo e-reader (but I prefer paging on eink) you might be able to get it on kindle too
