Question

Unable to disable new reader interface on ipadOS

I have been using the old interface on my iPad, but since this weekend it seems to have been disabled. There is no way as far as I can see to disable it.

 

This interface is hot garbage. You have 2 views, full screen (too big), and this weird default super-edit mode that takes up 1/3 of the screen with toolbars on the left and right. I cannot use the app in its current form. 

 

How do I get the old version back, or how can I remove these idiot toolbars? 

 

P.S. I can still go back to the old interface in Windows, btw. It's just iPadOS that seems to have had this option removed.

Hey John38113247dby1, I had the same question after:
Three dots > View Settings > Reading mode - did not hide the UI.

Long pressing the page hid the UI for me. How about for you?

unfortunately youre response did not answer the original request.  I dont know anyone who likes, or enjoys the new user interface, it is not only useless because functionality has been removed, itks also discriminatory because it does not allow anyone to read the menu item in text in their language, but it's also just plain ugly and inefficient....wastes valuable screen space, and userks time trying to nabigate the now useless non-menu hyroglyphics.
