Ratings and reviews

We won't tell you up front that you're not getting an epub or even a DRM'd PDF, but a file readable in our app only. We won't tell you that you can only access it on two devices. And we're the kind of jerks who force our FAQ to open in Chrome, not your default browser, and it's all cookies or none, you can't select categories. Welp, I know who I'm never, ever dealing with again.

Cuts the letters on the sides of pages for some books on different pages off by using an overlay element thats the same color as the page background. Increasing the margin helps with some pages but my use of it with my books practice exams shows major problems, and the practice exams are arguably the most important part. Other than that it seems relatively easy to use and fast.

I've been using booklet now for a keeping up with my coursework and it's been critical in aiding me in studying my material. If I have a few minutes to myself, I can easily open the app and start reading wherever I am, or I can listen to chapters while driving during my commute or doing other chores. Highly recommend! Only things I would add are maybe more options for AI voices and speeds with which to listen to the material. Otherwise, great app!!! <3
