Ratings and reviews

I haven't bought books in years (cuz I only like e-books) but couldn't find a model I wanted to support. Never was a kindle guy (thank goodness). Being able to support local bookstores through this app is SO cool!! Also I love their support for as much non-DRM content as possible and hope they'll continue that fight. Thanks for helping me find hope and enjoyment in reading again. The only improvement I recommend are renaming the app to just "Bookshop" and fixing the app icon to be adaptive.

Using this app on my Onyx Poke 3 e-reader is the most rage-inducing experience. It is basically unuseable, constantly glitching and jumping around. Also, the syncing just doesn't happen between my phone and e-reader. I have to manually find my current reading location. I'm trying so hard to support my local bookstore instead of Amazon so please improve this app. I can basically only use it on my phone but I really would like to be able to use my e-reader.

Trying hard to enjoy the App version. I love the concept & will support. But the app is frustrating - why have it if I get forwarded to the online portal? My husband bought books off my wishlist & he was frustrated at how difficult it was deciphering what version of the book would be purchased (he ended up w one book in English & the other in Spanish unintentionally). It also doesn't remove the books from the wishlist after they are purchased.
