POS, cannot connect to WIF nowI, It keeps doing a factory reinstall.

Regarding the most recent update - I like the improved range of font sizes, but what is a huge problem for me are the following - 1. Continuing to require an internet connection regularly 2. The app seems to override my screen timeout, which can be a big issue while dozing off with a book. There appears to be no setting to correct this currently.

Thank you for updating the on device reader! I was struggling with whether to use Libby with more text and color options and sacrifice the sync to my Kobo, but the new update fixes that. Thank you.

You've done it again! Made an upgrade that is worse than before. I can find no way to keep it in portrait, so when I lie down to read I cannot. WHY DONT YOU LEAVE THINGS AS THEY ARE? This app is now unusable for me, thank you. Also the margins are now too big. This used to be great, now completely useless. Your response is pathetic. You should give ,ore flexibility to users to decide the layout of the pages. I am fed up with you wrecking an otherwise good app

What's gone wrong with Kobo? Can no longer put current book on my screen, pages no longer have the option to turn and settings seem to have changed beyond recognition. Very disappointed.

It's a service that is cheaper than it's competitors however this means you get a crashing app that doesn't always work as you'd expect. When you type in the search query for a book that you know is available on audio book.. It only shows you Ebooks! So you have to go back to the audio book tab, and manually type your search out again.. As it doesn't save SEARCH HISTORY. I'm giving this 4 stars, it deserves 3, but I'm giving it four because I got to read a book for free that I really loved.

It's a good reader, but the poor design of this app makes it hard to buy a book. Neither the app not the mobile web site allow me to access my payment information. I had to use a PC just to change my credit card. And I shouldn't have to re-enter all the card information when only the expiration date has changed. There ought to be a sane way to edit an exciting card. The shopping aspects of the app are a decade behind where they should be. So lame.

Works well with a few exceptions. Would be nice to have a way to search for not completed books by recent or length remaining. Also, when adding a free book to the library the "add" button does not change, so if you miss seeing the brief added bar you're tempted to use the add button again, as the UI buttons often have dead spots inside the colored bar. Otherwise the app does just fine.

Good reading app! I got this while at a conference, felt like reading in a few hour gap between meetings when i felt like reading. Lots of the classics are free, then there's also a list of other free books too, probably the ones no one really WANTS to read. While i prefer a paper book this is convenient and great to have for lunch breaks at work and the like.

Works pretty well, better than the Windows implementation. Room for improvement in the handling of new purchases which push the in-progress volumes down into near oblivion, especially if one buys a pile of 99-cent chapters to collect a few complete novels. I enjoy romances and would really appreciate a filtering ability; I am not interested in platonic, sweet, or religous pseudo-romance novels/chapbooks, but can't currently automatically ignore them.

Like this Amazon alternative that lets you buy ebooks while supporting independent book stores. However, the reading interface doesn't seen to have as many options (for fonts, font size, displaying progress thru chapter and while book, etc) as I'd like. They DO have a white text on black background display option though, which is essential for me.

While it works, it works. A little bare bones, but whatever. Just be aware that if you use it for anything but purchases (pre-existing ebooks if you will) then at any time with no warning you could lose your entire library with no hope of getting it back. Fortunately, I still have the files, but it lost months and months of organization and reading data. :/

Slow, unresponsive, broken links, crashes constantly. An immediate, huge disappointment. Next best thing to having an ereader app that doesn't work at all. Zero recommendation level. Developer response: Yeah, too bad, it sucks, fix it yourself. Appears to be a common answer. Plus, the recommended books are over the top with bigoted liberal political poison.

Pros: good selection of books in store Cons: books that i have downloaded do not load sometimes. The app unnecessarily spends time "syncing", even though i only have 2 books & haven't changed anything. Display issues with some books, such as words being cut off. App sometimes doesn't save my place in the book, so I have to flip though the pages to find where I left off every time
