Gutenberg Reader + Many Books

What a great app. Perfect for holding a collection of classics - and it can even read them to you! Yes, the interface is a little clumsy, but, hey, what do you expect for nothing! Someone is really dedicated to keeping information free and available to all.

This is a great app for reading classic books. The books are in English. The font is large and easy to read, making it friendly for people with vision impairment. There’s such a huge variety of genres to choose from, and the grammar is easy to understand. There’s handy instructions on controlling the speed of scrolling through the e books - which was very impressive. I’ve never seen such a feature on any other reading app before. I liked the slow auto scrolling option - it allows you to read the e book without keeping your finger constantly on your mobile phone, which saves time and energy and is great for people with arthritis. I definitely appreciate the other useful instructions on using the app, such as, “Tap here to save your favourite books.” This app is very easy to use for children and older people. There’s soft colours too, which is easy on the eyes, and no glare, which is great for people with psychosis. The only issue - and this is a minor issue - is that the paragraphs are in huge blocks of text, which can be hard to read for people with dyslexia. Other than that, this is an excellent app. Thank you to Haven Tran for creating it!

It takes ages to load and after waiting for eons, it still doesn’t load. I deleted and re loaded three times, but, results were same. A great let down.

This is the kind of little app that I love: it is focused on helping with a specific problem, and it provides a surprisingly powerful tool to help me deal with that. If you’re looking for help preparing your taxes or fixing dinner…well, this app isn’t designed for that. If being able to adjust the text*, make notes, and manage a small library of books on your phone is what you’re looking for this app will be just what you need. * About adjusting the text: the teams of VOLUNTEERS who scan books for Project Gutenberg or other sources of FREE books have no idea what size the screen on your device is. There are occasionally issues which they do the best they can to correct when they learn about them. If the font size or style is changed additional problems may occur. While I understand that artifacts from the scanning process or errors caused when the text is adjusted can be frustrating I think we should remember the designer of this app really isn’t responsible for our woes. THIS APP IS WELL WORTH DOWNLOADING.

I was using My Books until my frustration mounted because of duplicate or missing pages. This is a wonderful app with many useful features My Books lacked. I love old books of adventure and biography, and I found many of my favorites by William HG Kingston here.

Mainly the classics are found in this app. So if you were ever curious about their contents then get this app. A lot of other books seem to come from collegiate sources. Don’t expect books that you get from the paying sources like AMZ, BN, etc. Those exist for a reason, smile.

Has a wide variety to choose from

Just downloaded, so haven’t much experience! But noticed right away that it doesn't sync between separate devices, ie ipad and iPhone !

I was trying to find the book wild wings and it did not show up it showed everything except the book I searched I even tried searching the author and it still did not work. I have been trying to find an audio book for wild wings and I can’t find one.

There’s no search function, but there is a search field… very odd. The only way to find a book is to sort by title and scroll through page after page. I hoped the Pro version would be better, it’s not. I’ll try another Gutenberg app.
