Ratings and reviews

On the whole, this app does what i need. I'd give it a 5, except when the book goes full screen, It took a while to figure out how to get the controls to come up in full screen mode. I do like the reading from any format. An instruction manual would help. The voice adjustment feature is great. Found that the British voice 2 sounds more realistic than the US voices. Being able to upload a pronunciation vocabulary would be nice.

If you're looking to JUST have it read a book to you, it does ok. But if you zoom in to see a word better, the zoomed in part becomes the whole page... you can't scroll around. If you are reading for school or something, it it doesn't allow you to highlight passages. It let's you select a passage, but doesn't save the highlighting which makes this all but useless for a student.

The app doesn't recall what page I was last reading, it always goes back at least 50 pages, maybe to the last page I was using TTS on? Being able to highlight text while reading would be a good addition. Also I've never found an ebook reader app that doesn't have random page brakes and spacing, but it seems less frequent with this app.
