MIT Press eBooks for Android
Unresponsive or slow scrolling on my HTC One
This app is so poorly designed and implemented, I'm surprised it's allowed to carry the MIT name.
Awesome app
Thank you
Thank you
it does whatever it wants to. sometimes i get lucky and read what i want, but that doesn't happen too often. i'm trying to use it on my nexus 5, by the way. how come this is from MIT?
Dear MIT. Love the online course. Love the book. Hate the eReader: learning to program has been easier than figuring out how to navigate.. Please find a better one, or get the publisher to improve: this app is unworthy of your brand.
App is slow. Unresponsive. The pages don't turn on the Android app! Which is kind of useful in a book. [Sarcasm on full] Worse the MIT ebooks don't work on Linux without jumping through crazy hoops to install Adobe Air. If I buy an OReilly ebook I get a DRM free book in multiple formats that I can use with my Kindle, on my Android device and on my computer. I won't buy another ebook from MIT until you get some clue.
Lousy implementation of an ebookstore. Disappointing reading experience. Better go Amazon if available.
When I buy an ebook, I want an ebook, not one that is tied to a particular reader. I want all my ebooks to be accessible on 1, or at most 2, readers. Use epubs, then I can download to a reader that has a good range of facilities. On my asus transformer tf101, the MIT reader does not allow annotation or highlighting. Before going down the MIT reader route, consider whether a kindle version of a book from Amazon might not be a better route, even if it is slightly more expensive. I have bought 1 ebook from MIT because it was a few dollars cheaper than from Amazon, and now I am contemplating buying the kindle version (also to read on my Transformer!!!) because the facilities are so much better. I certainly won't buy any more from MIT directly
Somewhat disappointed to see such low quality app from MIT. I should have ordered a hardcopy version...
My experience with this company is that it ignores request for help weather through email or online. Although the tech person said he would request a refund for me because the server has been down for several days and I had no response for help from them a refund was never issued and they have been impossible to contact. The company's laptop version of its ereader looks like and works like it's from the windows 95 era.

Awesome app
Scrolling could be a little smoother, I feel like it doesn't load enough of the book into ram, but what do I know? Maybe it's just the size/complexity of the book I purchased.

Total crap. My books are not appearing even after so-called sync.
