Ratings and reviews

Easy to buy and download books. Not the best interface. As others have said, need to be signed in to access your books, which doesn't make sense as I have already paid for them. It sometimes doesn't register your progress and kicks you back to a previous page. No bookmark feature like Google Books has, which can be annoying as I liked to bookmark the "Dramatis Personae" page. I really hope they update this app to be better.

The e-reader is not user friendly. There is no way to place a book mark on the page you are reading. The only options you have are to change the font size, style and background lighting. As other users have said, the e-reader will lose your place at times. There aren't any page numbers on the corners. You have this sliding bar at the bottom when you tap on the page to see how much progress you have left to complete the book but it doesn't really help if you don't know which page you are on.

Three big gripes. Purchases are not cross compatible. The app can *not* be used at all without network, and downloaded materials is unaccesable if you can't log in because it's stuck inside the appdata and you'd need some kind of 3rd party against TOS tool to get it out. Both of the last two gripes could be fixed if the first gripe was, but I doubt that will happen.
