NinJeice, Super convenient and easy interfaceI am reading my first eBook, one I received as a PDF, and downloaded this and the Kindle app to try to read.
This app was convenient to download the PDF, it saves my place, I can read how I want, and it allows me to take notes and highlight. The Kindle seemed to only allow notes and highlights on their 'official' downloads, and if I backed out of the program it did not keep the file.
I also prefer the way the pages link together vertically so that I can smoothly transition between pages without having to do a sudden switch to horizontal swiping after scrolling vertically the whole page. Minus a star because sometimes highlighting can be awkward, and it's too easy to accidentally erased a highlight if two passages are close together, but that's a minor annoyance.
This app for the win.P.S. Would be awesome if an update allowed for highlights of multiple colors! Yashua2, It brings reading into an easy format.I have found online, what can be an exhausting experience trying one reader and then another, the satisfaction in finding a comprehensive display eBook reader. Often, for me, the search has ended in further frustrations finding readers apps that are almost always accompanied with certain idiosyncrasies, a mixture of certain inconsistent rules that do not fit most all our varied choices.So far, in the 4 months of using this app on my iPad 3, this app has performed without fault.
I deliberate on so many different subjects offered, that having a reader that does not have these common bugs ( so far in my experience ), it is a delight to have the confidence that what I download will nest itself in such a worthy reader.How I do desire that they would allow a search for titles or better yet displaying the titles with authors in single sentence list. Even a single sentence display list would be less annoying then to have to scroll through the vast collections of items I have imbedded into the reader.If you have not tried it, do!
If your a stickler for reliability, you'll be impressed.May Christ also be a Blessing of Love for you and yours,Robert Casey.Shalom. HeidiSW, Not quite right for my iPhone XRI have an iPhone XR and find it frustrating that to be able to get a larger font, the top line of the page disappears into the notch. I have to pull down the screen to read that line. I enlarged the font because the default size is around a 9. Small fonts are one of the reasons I moved to digital books as they can be so hard to read.Otherwise, so far, the app is ok although I love my other reading app used for libraries. This is for books I need to purchase for my book club that the library may not have in digital format.4 stars because of the notch.
