BookShelves
The reading mode in the settings can be selected between scroll mode and page-turning mode, but whichever of these is selected, it will only function in scroll mode.
Scroll mode is difficult to use on an i Phone or i Pad, and I would like to use page-turning mode.
Also, I would like to have the ability to turn pages by tapping on the screen. It is very cumbersome to operate by screen swiping.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the report! Page-turn mode should definitely work on iPhone and iPad, including tap-to-turn (tapping the left/right edges of the screen).
Could you check which version of BookShelves you have installed? (Settings > About in the app.) There was a fix related to reading mode in a recent update, so updating to the latest version may resolve this.
If it's still happening after updating, let me know and I'll dig deeper.
Usage environment.
BookShelves version: 1.0.32(274)46317396b
iOS: 26.5.2
iPhone Air
Wherever I tap on the screen, I get the book menu? The screen with an X button in the upper right corner is displayed.
Books are checked with epub files downloaded from Aozora Bunko.
Thanks for the details! Vertical Japanese books (vertical-rl layout) currently only support scroll mode. We did try to get paged mode working for vertical text, but the results weren't satisfactory, so we held off on shipping it. That's why tapping the screen shows the book menu instead of turning pages.
We'll note this as a feature request. Can't promise a timeline yet, but it's on our radar.
I was relieved to hear that. I'm waiting patiently, so please take care of me.
