I almost love this app. I really like it, except, sometimes it flips pages of its own accord. Fix this, and I will give five stars.

Good, but not great I've only read three e-books so far through Blio. For one book, it didn't matter which text font/font size setting I set, nearly every first line and last line of each page is cut in half. I must say that after reading an entire book this way, I became quite good at deciphering the words seeing only the top half or bottom half of the letters. A second book was in comics format and worked well enough. Page turning can sometimes be a bit sticky, i.e. I have to swipe completely from right to left or else the page is turned half way and stays there half way. For book 3, I haven't had much difficulty reading, though I didn't bother changing the extra large text setting, its default setting. The one thing I miss when reading all ebooks through Blio that is available in Kindle is an indicator of the % of book completed.
★★☆☆☆
Disaster on Lollipop When Blio worked, it was an OK reader. Not great--for example, you can't sync page location between devices--but perfectly OK. But with Lollipop upgrade, I just can't read books anymore. Others have the same problem and apparently it's been known for months: when you turn a page, you'll be on the same page or two pages ahead or a blank page and nothing works to clear it. Which is unfortunate and disappointing when I've waited weeks for a library book.
★★☆☆☆
Pages never in order More than half the time i tried to read books on this app, the pages were out of whack... chapter title page moved or blanks and have to go forward then backwards to get it to show. Way too frustrating! I'll use the other app my library supports.
