I purchased a book on the website because the book was not on the app available to download/ purchased. Atomic habits is on the app but you cant buy it from the app you must do it on the website. Now I can’t read the book on the app just on the website when I have signal.

I have an iPad 9th Gen but the app can’t get past the cover page of the first book I purchased

Good just not great

zerozero12 on

South Africa

It loads the page of the book I’m currently reading every time I go on a different App and return and sometimes it doesn’t load and I have to close the book and reopen it. Secondly it keep asking me sync last page read because it looks like I am reading on another device and I am not reading on any other device.

Terrible experience

Whydoyouneedafrikkennickname on

South Africa

The last two books bought don’t appear in my library. Repair function doesn’t work and forced to read my purchase on a browser.

The Alienist is a page turner

tamsin987 on

South Africa

Dont worry if you saw the series, the book is just as riveting. Elegant writing style and characters that keep you engaged in every page of the book. I have very little patience for reading after 25 years of being a mom, so there is no time for self-absorbed verbose padding to fill the pages so often found in modern authors’ novels. This book makes every word count, and each chapter filled with clues and suspense leading you into the next. Caleb Carr is clearly a skilled and educated novelist with a good understanding of 18th century history and lifestyle.

Good but please fix the bugs

I have used this app for a few years now and I have enjoyed it a lot. Never had problems with it at all until the last few months. I can’t download any books on the app even after updating it.
