Ratings and reviews

Got around login error by logging on web and opening a message about a newsletter and wiping cookies. I am learning Dutch sadly I cannot get the ebook to speech to be in Dutch, I set phone Dutch instead of British and now plays an American accent. Says it uses epub but no info on downloading to get it working properly. The search and list function is really bad and only magazines are in the reccomended section - needs investing into search UI, or at least "search by popular" as a workaround

Can't login, it shows 404 on the webpage after entering credentials, and then it doesn't show the embedded browser at all. Update: I can't refresh the page. Embedded browser is closing immediately, and there is no way to refresh on the login page. Update: thanks to the support team, very responsive! While trying to collect more data for them I realized it didn't connect because I used my pass ID instead of the username, so it couldn't log me in. With username all good! Still worth fixing!

Searching for books is much easier than in previous app, that's nice. Logging in took a long time though. In audiobooks I came across some problems: it just pauses and then jumps to other chapters. Also the 30s back button often brings me to the next chapter... After closing the app it often just starts at the beginning of the chapter instead of where I stopped last time. And because of a bug in 30s button it takes a long time to find it back.

What’s new

- De reader werkt sneller en beter door overgang naar een nieuwe versie van Readium, de software achter de reader.
- Afbeeldingen worden nu geopend in een apart venster in de reader. Hierdoor kun je makkelijker inzoomen (handig bij stambomen of landkaarten).
- De weergave van zoekresultaten is aangepast. De meest relevante en nieuwe boeken verschijnen nu eerst.
- De leenknop is verwijderd uit het overzicht van de leenhistorie; maar je kunt op de titel klikken en het lenen vanaf de detailpagina.
