Ratings and reviews

Only one day, but for starters I really didn't even want another app for reading library books, especially one that doesn't even work on my Kindle. I have no interest in reading books on my phone. Second issue is that the app doesn't fit my screen properly, so many of the controls are up behind my notification bar.
