To simplify book selection reader is integrated with bookshelf with Cover Flow support.
Application is still in beta stage and updated frequently.

Doesn't work for Hebrew epub. Each word is displayed correctly, but the order of words is from right to left.

The best reader on the market. Simple and to the point.

The direction of Hebrew text is wrong - i.e. the word's order is right, yet letters order within the word is opposite. GN1, GB 2.3.5, CM7

I am happy that at least one reading app supports the three functions I need: Hebrew, ePub and PDF. Great work for the app, and for free! I give it four stars because the Hebrew support is not perfect. Thanks a lot for the app

everything's cool and fine but the thing is, it only displays the cover of the books in a list so what if the ebook doesn't have a cover, how one would know which is which. like in my case, i download most of my ebooks from Guttenberg but most of their ebooks don't have a cover just a default picture with no title in front. Please fix the List. for now, uninstall.

The design of the app is exactly what I've been looking for. Simple and minimalist epub reader with the ability to customize text color and size to mimic the shades of an e-ink reader. However some text which are indented do not show up. They show up as blanks. Which is disturbing to person reading mostly nonfiction. Please fix that and it's a 5 star app.

After I updated this app it wouldn't allow me to change to a different book even though I was done reading previous book. I had to go into my setting and erase my data for it to allow me to change my book. It was an inconvenience for me because I had to reset my setting every time. I deleted this app and am now going to try another app.

Found a book on Gutenberg that I wanted to read ( Goops and How to Be Them by Gelett Burgess) but this reader didn't show the text at all. I love the idea of a reader that will let me read free books I download. (Amazon's Kindle store wanted $2.50 for the same 100 year old book.) I really want this app to work, but it doesn't.

The text is laid as in a notepad! As a user of Aldiko, I am not able to let it for this app. I will stand with Aldiko for now. Uninstalling... Note n7000 JB 4.2.2 Carbon ROM

After opening a book it won't let me go back into the library and the only way to close the application is using the tablet's "home button". Please fix that. Otherwise it's a very good application.
