Ratings and reviews

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

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.

I figured out the issue I was having! It bases the read aloud feature based off of your devices accessibility settings- and mine were super wonky! Overall, I'm so happy this app exists for the convenience of listening to my school textbooks where ever I'm at even with my screen locked! I love it. The email listed here is not a valid email to use for support... so an update to a valid address would be great.
