excellent reference and reader. Lots of choices for font and size, 3 brightness options. Problems; 1- it doesn't properly track books I've finished reading (they sometimes stay on my wishlist ) 2-it won't list series in order when searching 3- you can only have 15 books on hold 4- I find it annoying that the"search" icon is on the bottom of the screen yet the search window then opens at the top of the screen.

I can't believe it took 9 years of paying for Audible before I found this! Now I want an E-Reader, too. Overall a fantastic app. Great playback when interrupted by other notifications, format is easy to use. Sleep timer/playback speed/bookmark options = 👍🏼👍🏼. Only one suggestion: it's too easy to accidentally return a book with a fat finger move. Please add secondary confirmation before returning loans. Great work, devs!

Pretty cool app. Stumbled across this in 2020 during COVID when we couldn't go to libraries anymore. Using my library card it connected to my local library. Was easy to do. Been using it ever since! Haven't had any problems with it. If you love reading or listening to audiobooks, give this app a try. Then you'll have access to your local library from the comfort of your own home! I absolutely give 5***** to this app and huge THANKS to whoever made it!
