Practical, uncomplicated, and useful
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.
Glad I Found It
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.
Very Easy Access
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.
Good choices
Has a wide variety to choose from
Gutenberg Reader
Just downloaded, so haven’t much experience! But noticed right away that it doesn't sync between separate devices, ie ipad and iPhone !
Not good at finding books
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.
Needs improvement
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.
Search?
No search feature
Horrible
I see nothing but a bunch of porn.
It was not the best but acceptable
It didint really have any of the book I wanted, which I guess is my problem because I was looking for Alex rider crocodile tears and I can find it anywhere except for Libby and someone is already borrowing it. The desighn is very nice but it was a little complicated, for me at least. Pretty good, might recommend.
