Seems to a be reasonable app, but there are some issues unsolved by the team development, - Bookmark function is not working - Highlight is redirecting to a unknown book section and we should go out and in to go back the previous page.

I don't even know what to say. This app really saved me this term especially since I couldn't afford to buy every single physical copy of the books I needed. Almost every book is available and the app allows you to listen to the books as audios for those that prefer it that way. I only started using the app this year and so far I'd be lying if I said I have any complaints. I've been paying for my monthly subscription but I'm considering switching to the yearly deal as I'm always using it

nice idea... several things wrong with text to speech and note taking. too many software companies rely on subscription and you need Internet to do almost anything not good if You have poor cell signal, I cancelled for now waiting on improvement
