Ratings and reviews

This application might work well for a small number of books, but if your collection exceeds 50 titles, consider searching for a different app. furthermore, it lacks a local backup feature, which means if you use offline devices, you're left in a difficult situation. it appears that if you wish to save notes or bookmarks, restoring them requires handling each book one at a time. clearly, it does not justify the cost or the time!

By far my favorite ebook app. My favorite perk is that you can use whatever font you like. I have champagne tastes in fonts and can't bear the options on, for example, Libby. Also love other ways in which it's customizable -- I can have much tinier margins than are available in Libby or Kindle, which gives longer, more book-like line lengths. Requests: 1) I'd like to alter file information, e.g. edit author names when they're in the wrong order 2) Search by author seems not to work

I installed this reader a week ago and so far it has worked perfectly and far better than any other free apps I have tried in recent years. I use the night settings with sepia tone because I read an average of 3-4 hours or more a day and it prevents my eyes getting tired. I love that it saves my spot automatically where I stop reading as well as being able to set bookmarks. I especially love being able to scroll through instead of having to flip pages. Several free apps I have tried don't have the scroll feature.
