Hi, my device is aupo A15. By clicking on a chapter from the table of content in the book navigation option in the book share reader, the chapter does not open, the window or page that is open before remains open.

Great app. I just wish I can use my other speech synthesizers, hope there will be an option to select other TTS on the audio settings.

I had high hopes for this app. My daughter is dyslexic and audiobooks are a must. The voice is so digital sounding it is hard to understand, and it doesn't actually read some of the words correctly. Also, the word highlighting is faster than the voice, so it's not actually reading what it is highlighting.

Huge step backwards from Go Read app. This does not feel like a "1.02" release, but rather a pre-release or testing release. There is no search within book, no page turning, only scroll. Bookmarks say "coming soon". The "search for a great book" is only a title search. The only thing I found so far that it can do that Go Read can not is changing reading speed without having to change system reading speed. That is nice. But for me, this is not ready for actual use yet.

Horrible the app does not show the book when you click on read book. It just blanks white screen

Playback stops when display times off, the screen goes black and Book share turns off. Please list the steps on Android cell to keep listening even when the screen is black.

Needs more text display options, especially smaller margins. A downgrade from GoRead
