Shady!

Even looking at the previews os only possible with an internet connerion! It does not a contain a single full book & I did not find any prices anywhere. Super shady and not worth the time!

Love this app.

Go Books is a must-have for anyone studying Go. I love having interactive books—being able to tap through variations and problems right in the text is a huge advantage. While nothing beats using real stones and a board when working through problems, this app is the perfect companion when that’s not an option. Pros: • Interactive diagrams make studying smooth and engaging • Easy to carry an entire Go library anywhere • Ideal for quick sessions or deep dives alike Cons: • Only downside? If your device runs out of power.

Wishing there was a way to highlight text.

Replacing my books with this app

I recently bought a book through Go Books, a book I already owned. I really just needed to finish some reading while traveling and didn’t have my copy with me. I found the format used in Go Books is very handy. Being able to play out the problems right there on the page is wonderful. The free chapters are great for getting a taste of the books. A lot of work has gone into this and I hope to see that continue.
