Die beste Reader App

Diese Reader App ist die beste, vielseitig the App, die alles bietet, was das Herz begehrt. Ich benutze sie seit drei Jahren. Würde ständig verbessert, erweitert. Vielleicht gibt es sie ja irgendwann auch in Deutsch. Für manche wäre besonders der Hilfe Teil gut.

El mejor lector de epubs con mucha diferencia

Llevo años probando multitud de aplicaciones en el IPad para leer epubs. Esta es la mejor aplicación con diferencia que he usado y para gestionar colecciones inmensas de miles de EPUBs es la mejor y de las que más opciones tiene. Además el equipo actualiza la aplicación muy a menudo. Tuve un problema; tengo una colección inmensa de EPUBs y después de una actualización, la aplicación fallaba, no sé abría por un error. Me puse en contacto con el desarrollador de la misma explicándole mi problema, me dijeron que estaban investigando el problema…En menos de dos días me avisaron de que habían sacado una nueva versión corrigiendo el fallo y ahora vuelve a funcionar perfectamente. Muchas gracias..

Great paired with Calibre

Great layout, lots of features, works very well with a calibre-centric workflow.

Excellent EPUB reader with responsive support

I chose MapleRead SE for its stability and EPUB compatibility, and I especially enjoy the landscape two-page reading mode on my iPad.

When I encountered an image layout issue with one EPUB, the support team responded promptly, reproduced the problem, and fixed it in version 7.1 about two weeks later. the book now displays correctly.

A great reading app backed by a team that listens to users and follows through. Very happy with my purchase!

Great app, one suggestion

The app is great, and I love its features (particularly tagging and the personal server), I just have one recommendation. The read aloud feature is a wonderful idea, but I find it lacking. The voices available are incredibly robotic and choppy. I'd absolutely love it if we could have a slightly more natural sounding voice and perhaps a bit more intuitive controls (audio speed). Otherwise, I absolutely love the app. Great job!
