Ratings and reviews

It syncs every time i pick up my phone. If i left it running and need my camera or phone quickly, I am S.O.L. It simply will not allow me access to my phone until i it is done. I have uninstalled, played with it, asked google, all yo no avail. If i want to read i have to put up with it freezing my phone for 10 to 30 seconds EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN IT OR HO BACK TO IT

This author mixes action, suspense, drama and romance into a spellbinding story you CANNOT put down. I enjoyed this book very much and will be looking forward to more of her works!

I absolutely love this app it is a must have. I'm an avid reader I love my books and I love just how easy convenient this app is and if you have it on multiple devices in your reading the same book it will sync up the pages so don't have to search define where you left off at. In the books downloaded very fast.

Dark Mode: Enjoying books in the dark just got better! You may have changed your ebook reader theme, toggled the brightness of your screen, and some of us have even worn sunglasses at night. We've heard your feedback, and we're adding some help. Check out App Settings to enable Dark Mode. Choose from Always On, Always Off, or Use Device Settings.
