Currently GL is lacking that feature. That may be a problem on newer Android machines. I'll have to try it with my Nexus 7.
OK, I think the new standard is the 3 bars on the left, but the newer Android will give the 3 dots on the right as a way to get into settings for older apps.

Well, that's an exceedingly obscure place to put a setting that affects the menus as well! I was doing my research while still in the menus, so that's why I couldn't find it.
I don't have Gospel Library 2 installed on the device I have in front of me to check, but I know you can get to it from the menu in Gospel Library 3 beta.
Menu > Settings > Reading options (Theme, font, brightness, orientation lock)

That's good to hear that the developers have improved this for GL 3. For GL 2, the menu is different when you are on an actual content page, and you do have the Reading Options item there, but not when you are in any of the earlier screens browsing through the content hierarchy.
