It’s free. NYT , Washington post. Free. What’s not to like?

Does not offer all of Guttenberg's books

As an app for assisting the reader to read Guttenberg's books, you would think it would offer all of Guttenberg's books. It doesn't. You can find lists of the most popular books, the most engaging, etc., but nowhere a list of all of Guttenberg's books. Moreover, if you have downloaded several books and then you wish to delete one of them, you can't. You have to delete all of them. Even if you have 50 downloads and you just want to delete one? Right ~ you have to delete all of them in order to delete one of them. So altogether this is quite an amateurish app.

A good start

Easy to use as a reader of public domain books from project Gutenberg. (And may I just say here: rot in Hell, Amazon, for making it SO hard to do so via Kindle ereader.)

However: you can't bookmark your page! And you can't select a word for dictionary lookup.

If these functions are available, and I am just missing them, (a) I'll be happy to be corrected and (b) rest assured I tried hard to find them before writing a review.

Poor Production
