Ratings and reviews

I'd say 3.5 stars, honestly. I like using the app and listening to audiobooks. The selection is pretty decent and has gotten better since I joined. However, when all 11 books on my saved list suddenly become "available soon" 2 weeks prior to my billing date every month it is pretty annoying. I understand the books rotate but I'm in the middle of a series and have to wait 2 weeks for the last book now 😒

Love this app for the wide library it offers, but I hate that there is no option for customization in the book/document reader. The only changes you can make is selecting night/day mode to invert the color of the text and background, there is no option to change the font size or to zoom in which makes most books nearly impossible for me to read because the text is so small!

Would love to like this app, but it has a couple of problems that I can't get around. First, when you have a book downloaded, it has a tendency to log you out, not allowing you to continue reading the book you downloaded until you log in again. This makes it impossible to use in areas without cell or WiFi connections. Second, it will resume playing a book you have paused without being told to continue playing. I have attempted to contact customer service about this, with no response so far.
