Just rubbish
Doesn’t save pages if you leave the app, bookmarking didn’t seem to work, you click one and it takes you to another page, clearly no effort gone into this

The font size is too small and I can’t find any way to increase it, or to download the book in a format which would enable me to read it on a different reading app.
Don’t buy from ebook.com, because then you have to use this POS app. Absolutely terrible.
The whole business model of this company is admirable but the app is a disaster. I have been communicating with their very good customer service (Sheila) but the only real outcome was a store credit refund. This doesn’t address the fact that the app is a poor reading experience. Problems with image orientation, constant pagination (which seems to get stuck in a never ending loop) and pages jumping about. Reluctantly I’ve given up with this company as unless I buy a dedicated ebook reader I see no way of been able to read their books on the iPad.
It was horrendous
I really wanted to avoid buying ebooks from a giant competitor, so I tried these guys. Now I wish I hadn't bothered. The range of books is good, but the only realistic way to read them is by using their own approved app. That's bad enough, but this app has never in its life had anyone even remotely competent in typography anywhere near it. There is a variety of fonts to use, but only one of the sans-serif ones (the default) renders acceptably. All of the others vary in displayed size, and descenders are often clipped because the line-height is incorrectly set. Trying to set the font-size to compensate for that is an exercise in futility, because the available sizes are so coarse as to be unusable. The reading experience is so poor compared to even a typical *website* that I don't expect to ever recommend this app or the service behind it -- quite the opposite.
Lacking basic options to change line and margin spacing leaving some books looking broken. Downloading purchases from ebooks.com appear broken or missing pages. Ugly confusing interface. Unresponsive and buggy. Buy ebooks from anyone else.
very clunky outdated interface
Tried this app as an alternative to kindle but it’s nowhere near as good. The standard font size is tiny, but increasing the font means part of the page is cut off at the end. Terrible formatting. Less intuitive than other e-readers. Avoid.
Can you fix it?
