Really cool Tried with some books... Speech quality is very good, works seemlessly. Thumbs up !
★★★★★
good start I am glad to have an app. for epub3. I love Mantano Reader, but it cannot handle epub3. Your app. displays the photographs clearly with no overlap of the text. I too cannot get the links to work. The links go to only blank pages. Please work on this feature. I am sure you will perfect it very soon, So far, there is nothing like the Ipad reader, unfortunately.

★★☆☆☆
Ugly UI, slow loading pages, turning pages will change font size, seems alphaware at best.
★★☆☆☆
Too buggy Wants to continuously run in background, consuming resources. Scans entire phone for pubs every time it is opened, a time issue. No way to edit book info. Too many issues~ uninstalling.
★★☆☆☆
Java script is not supported I tried this app but no java script code supported.
★★☆☆☆
In the beginning this app worked well. After a few updates it would freeze and shut down. Also when I tried to click on hyperlinks in the document it would take me to a blank screen. Not sure what was in those updates but the app stopped working for me after them.
