Ratings and reviews

No clue how this has over 4 stars. There's no true full screen, you can't swipe to turn the page, it's almost impossible to highlight with your finger and extremely difficult to do it even with the s pen. If I had the option of reading my books in another app, I definitely would.

Even when you download your textbook the webpages take over 30 seconds to load, same time as if I hadn't. This textbook is bogged down by loading problems, it loads you in the wrong place too if it has been more than 10 minutes since you have turned the screen on. This is for both the app version (I use it on my Samsung tablet), and the desktop page. Additionally, it is really scummy to have copy-paste limits from an online textbook you HAVE PAID FOR. This won't prevent ppl stealing the content.

The highlighting function is atrocious. I use highlights constantly when reading, especially for research and case analysis. Being able to read and take notes on the go is important, but trying to highlight in this thing either only highlights a single word (and not even one I was trying to highlight), or it spazzes out and highlights the entire page. Every other eReader I've used has this figured out. If this book was available on any other reader I'd dump this one in a heartbeat.

What's new

This release includes fixes to notes not displaying after being clicked on. Once a user clicks to open/ expand the notes, they will now be able to view and edit their notes.
