Ratings and reviews

Good but not flexible enough. I really like several things about this app, but there are no accessible fonts available and no plans to add any. Opendyslexic is literally free and has been for years, I can't imagine why you wouldn't add it to your ebook app. I care a lot more about an easy-to-read font than I do about fancy page turning graphics

I was unsure about audio books at first, but the more I explore the app the more books I find to listen to, and finding out what narrators are better then some. I have found myself listening to more and more books now and absolutely love the fact that there are free books as well. some prices are high, but finding out that there are sales quiet often, and being able to find a series where the first book is free gives you a chance to see if you would want to listen to the rest of the series.

I read the whole series (6) and enjoyed it very much. I was excited to get to the happy ending but sad at the same time. If you like mystery, suspense and thrillers I highly recommend this series!! The only issue I have is there were a lot of grammar, spelling, mixed up name errors of which I noticed from my career days.
