CrossPort vs Common Reader

CrossPort is an EPUB reader built for long books: real two-page spreads, a page curl you can feel, natural voices that read to you, and a recap of the story so far when you come back. It also pairs with e-ink readers running CrossPoint, so your place follows you between phone and reader.
