Buy your books here!!
Support your choice of local bookstore while you buy books online. Great service and prices. Do it!!!
Bookshop rocks!
Love the ebooks, quick checkout.
Highlighting is so difficult.
It’s impossible to highlight a sentence that ends on the next page. I tried for about 10 minutes. How is such a simple function so difficult to do in this app??
Clunky, glitchy, doesn’t even sync
I want to support my local independent bookstore, including ebook purchases. But this app is not great. Not syncing between devices, failed downloads, and the app doesn’t even seem to realize the app itself is already open so tries to prompt reading via browser. Overall, disappointing.
Malfunctioning highlighting
I like bookshop - especially like its support of local book shops. Unfortunately, I mainly read ebooks because I simply cannot store a large quantity of hard copy books. I will buy a hard copy if I think it is one I will use multiple times, or is one I can give to someone after I have read it. I read mainly nonfiction & use highlights A LOT. Often re-read a book just by reading the highlights. This function works poorly in bookshop app. Kindle is way better & I would return to kindle except I am pretty committed to NOT using Amazon.

More Convenient Than Others…and supports local!
I love using this app! Every time I open it there’s a new “something” it can do, I’m having so much fun exploring it! Much more intuitive than others, and takes up less space. Love to support local bookstores while I’m reading!
I love this site
❤️❤️❤️
App keeps crashing can’t access my ebooks.
The last week this app keeps crashing and I haven’t been able to access my my e-books. It’s frustrating because I’ve paid for those.
Too buggy to use
Just installed it today, and found the highlighting laggy to the point where I thought I hadn’t pressed the right button. I tried again and yet again only to have text show up a few seconds later triple highlighted, which layered on so much color that I couldn’t read the underlying text. The only way to remove the highlight was go to the “notes and highlights” list and delete the highlights (in triplicate) there. I thought that perhaps quitting the program and restarting would help. I did so, but now when I run up the app, it just hangs at the splash screen and shows me a balloon. Can’t even get to my library.

What a wonderful find!
So glad I found bookshop and this app! Such a pleasure to use and a wonderful alternative to Amazon.
Awesome
User friendly
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.
My favorite reading app
It’s still pretty new but they keep updating this app often and when I’ve emailed about bugs a real person responds and cares! I love buying ebooks and supporting indie stores, I love the settings for font and background. I use mostly on my Palma so I can read this app on an e-ink screen. I hope it keeps getting even better!

Great custom options!
I’m a big fan of the ability to read in the size, spacing, and orientation of my choice!
Great app, a few bugs
I am so grateful that this app exists! I use it every day and am so happy to support independent booksellers. A couple of glitches get in the way: first, the books I’m reading don’t always return to the page I left off on when I re-open the app. Sometimes it opens on the first page, sometimes on a random page. Addressable with bookmarks, but I don’t always remember. Second, sometimes a book I’ve already downloaded won’t open if I’m not on WiFi (e,g., on an airplane).

Syncing is not good
This is a serviceable app for reading ebooks. However, it does a very poor job of syncing reading place between devices.
Boycott amazon
Good portal, hoping the bezos doesn’t profit

Fantastic resource
I love that I can buy e-books and audiobooks easily without having to give my money to a big corporation. Instead I can continue to support my favorite local bookstore while conveniently reading an e-book. Perfection!
Mostly good
I love supporting local bookstores. I don't love that the app has lost my place in the book multiple times. With updates, when I haven't opened in a few days, there's nothing consistent about when I'll go in and not be where I left. Plus, I have my device offline often, which seems to cause hiccups even though it's only once or twice been a problem with my library app.

Password reset doesn’t work
So frustrating because the password reset isn’t working. I tried several times. Completely locked out of my account. Waited half an hour like they suggested. No way to open a help ticket for this problem.
