### 2/5 — Premium?

*2026-05-08*

It’s quite annoying that annotations are a premium subscription when that’s the entire reason I downloaded this app instead of continuing to use Apple Books. Honestly I’d do it for a one time purchase but a subscription is ridiculous. And that’s indicated nowhere on the store page before downloading so I just wasted 15 minutes putting a book in there too
