Reading on here is not too bad, but highlighting content is atrocious. The app cannot highlight the content without auto scrolling to the bottom of the page.

Avoid if possible. I'd have paid $50 more for a Kindle version if I'd known what this app was like. Offline viewing is only allowed on one device, and it doesn't even work consistently. I've downloaded the book and sometimes get an error that I can't view it because I'm offline. This has happened multiple times. Highlighting is also spotty on the app. If only I could get a refund and buy a decent eBook version elsewhere.

I love the read out loud feature. But it CONSTANTLY stopping and going "offline". I am always having to restart the app to go back where I left off.
