Great alternative!

Happy to have an independent option to my kindle. Easy to use, connects nicely to the store. Great app all around.

Glitchy app

I want to support independent bookstores but this app is driving me nuts. Every time I close the app at the last page I read, it never opens to that page. It usually opens to the chapter, but then I have to search for where I left off. Am I missing a setting? Certainly that would be an easy fix. Also the app is hard to take notes or highlight passages. The entire page moves with my Apple Pencil or turns the page when my hand rests on the screen to write/highlight.

Great on mobile and tablet

I really enjoy using this app. It does what it needs to do and does it in a clean and intuitive way. I do wish they had a version optimized for desktop. I like to read on my MacBook and the experience on the app is fine, but it’s just using the tablet version. I can imagine a pretty slick version for desktop if they know that the demand is there for it to be developed.

Thrilled to avoid Amazon

I’m thrilled to find an online store where I can buy books that’s not Amazon. I’m also happy to support independent bookstores. I’ve been able to find what I was looking for and have had no problems at all.Bookshop.org really fills a need.

Next chapter?

This is getting annoying. The next chapter button doesn’t always come up at the end of the chapter, forcing me to exit the app, open it again, and then get the next chapter button. This is really irritating when the book has a series of one-page chapters. Please fix this!
