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.

This app is ok, unless you have a spotty connection or you're offline, then the app generally freaks out, crashes, and prevents you from reading the books you've purchased. That's crazy - online / offline should make zero difference, and the fact that the app is so focused on being online makes it useless half the time. I can't believe they haven't fixed this when it's such a basic, simple thing.

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.
