Trying to figure out why my phone was so hot, I realized I had an app set to never sleep regardless of how long it's dormant - this one. The only permission it requests is to send you notifications, but if you look closer, there's a laundry list of terrible things it's allowed to do in the background like download things without your knowledge, etc. I force stopped and a few minutes later deleted it. My phone was instantly cooler. User beware!

Awful app. 1) I had a hard time downloading the book because the app and website don't seem to talk to each other (on the same device) unlike most other apps over used. When I opened the library, there were 9 books I hadn't ordered but not the one I had. 2) the reader is really janky, the cover art doesn't display, the page turner works randomly, and it's generally difficult to use. 3) The drm-free book is still tied to the app. I won't be using it again.

This app has gone from the best to the worst; Every "feature" is designed to prevent you from making progress in your reading. Starting with the 'integration' (theft) of brightness into the app itself, whose control is overlayed in the same position as some rediculous fast-page-jump slider (get ready to lose your place over and over again), and ending with the fact that cropping and zoom are no longer features or saved, means your manual zoom confuses the internal bookmark when you return.
