The Page Turning

I love supporting local bookstores while getting my ebooks. (KU can suck it). HOWEVER, I need the page turn animation in the reader settings. There are so many great settings, even more than most e-reader apps. Can you please add the page turn animation so I can read on your app?? Sliding from page to page breaks my suspension of disbelief. Add the page turn animation and this becomes 5 stars

Buggy

This thing is buggy as hell on an ipad. The real problem is that when you buy an ebook from Bookshop.org you can’t read it on any other device. This is literally your only option. Bummer.

Sort by Author

It is legitimately wild that we still don’t have the ability to sort the library by author

Major bug

App doesn’t remember most recent location read. Constantly relocated backwards in book (Land, by Farrell). Have to rely on book marks to keep recent page read. Also relocates after accidentally going into and out of landscape mode.
Makes very difficult to use. Other books have worked ok so unsure if just new bug or ties to the specific book file. Regardless, very frustrating experience.
Really hope they can fix as I’d like to continue to support bookshop.org if possible.

Update- support finally got back to be. And it appears to be an issue with the publisher but indexing ebook correctly. Though I feel this is something the developers should still be able to work around and deal with.
