Scam

I read about the book and see how many pages are in the book, then when I buy it and get access it changes. In the description it says 400 pages then they take my money and I open the book and it’s only 200 pages. That’s ridiculous. This platform will not get another dime out of me.

Unable to listen

I bought a new audiobook a few weeks ago was able to listen to it the first two days no nothing nothing but error messages. Tried reaching out no response should used kindle I guess.

Road Trip Saver

Having a digital library is so helpful on long car trips.

The app is fast loading, easy to use, putting together shelves to find series faster is a game changer in my digital reading.

Been a Nook E-book reader for years.

I want to update my B&N nook app.

First is the TTS works great on my Lenovo Nook.

Wish it had 128 gb of storage, but the Nook ebooks can be transferred to an external SD chip.

With google apps store there are more available.

Hope your investment in the Nook goes well.


Thank you.

No longer shows cloud books, can’t download samples

I prefer to keep my books and samples downloaded. I can no longer see which books are stored in the cloud. Why would you remove functionality?

Also, samples can no longer be downloaded. I used these to keep track of books I am interested in, for future reading. Can’t do that any longer. Again, why would you remove functionality?

It’s bad enough you don’t have a “based on books you’ve bought, here are some suggestions” after I’ve logged in. It’d be useful for keeping track of new releases in the series I’ve been following. Or for new similar books to consider.

I’m so disappointed with the app. I have been reading a lot of books for over 15 years, I have 800+ in my library. But it may be time to seek a new app and provider.
