Am I missing something? All I see is "Failed", no "may come later"
Also, changing page feels bad because it doesn't snap back to the top. I'm not sure I want it to snap back to the top, but maybe snapping back to the bottom would be nice.
I do agree about the scroll though, especially if people use the option to make pages longer. I've added a simple and quick scroll to the top of the list in that case.

It is called open access, has Linux support and drm free, with aim of a gog release.
From the FAQ it looks like a Linux build is already available.

Successfully funded, but unfortunately no response from the developer in three years.
