That is, you can interweave the a cover and spine covers.Therefore, you are able to place books with your own arrangement.Please, see also app store preview. -Other features + Home screen with a bookshelf as a motif -> The home screen uses a white-based bookshelf as an interface so that you can check the necessary information. We plan to provide various information about books on the home screen. +Function to "TSUNDOKU" books you want to read ->There is a "Tsundoku" area on the bookshelf on the home screen, and it is designed to stack books that you want to read later / someday. You can also check the details of the registered book by clicking the area. In addition, you can register the status of Tsundoku (before purchase / purchased, etc.) on the details screen, and you can add the read books to the bookshelf. -Privacy policy: https://premiumcolors.github.io/privacy-policy/ -Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
