## Review summary

Users appreciate TextClip for its support of multiple ebook formats, simplicity, and privacy-conscious design. Key features like text-to-speech and customization enhance reading experience. However, common issues cited include lack of hyperlink redirection, no image zoom in EPUBs, manual file browsing without recent/favorites shortcuts, limited rotation functionality, and slow loading times for large files. Despite minor drawbacks, it is considered a reliable and user-friendly ebook reader.

- User-friendly and simple interface with good customization options for fonts and background colors.
- Includes useful features such as text-to-speech and dual pages viewing.

- Works reliably as a file manager and ebook reader, appreciated for its minimalistic yet utilitarian design.

### Cons

- Lacks hyperlink functionality to directly open links in browsers like Google Chrome.
- No zoom support for images within EPUB files.
- Directory of books does not automatically load; users must manually search for files each time.
- Limited file rotation support; can only rotate in one direction.
- Loading large files (over 1000 pages) and table of contents is slow, causing navigation delays.
