## Review summary

Users appreciate that eReolen offers free, easy access to digital books and audiobooks with offline capabilities, supporting a valuable concept. However, many report stability issues including crashes and loading failures. The app's automatic brightness increase and poor reading layout detract from usability. Restrictions on audiobook borrowing and annoying Bluetooth audio resets further frustrate users. Overall, while the app has promising features, it suffers from technical and usability problems that impact the reading and listening experience.

### Pros

- Allows reading and listening to books for free.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Supports offline usage by downloading audiobooks.
- Provides access to a great concept of borrowing digital books and audiobooks.

### Cons

- App frequently crashes or fails to load properly, causing frustration.
- Audio books have arbitrary wait times due to limited borrowing availability; not unlimited as expected.
- Automatic screen brightness increases to maximum when opening books, which is inconvenient.
- Poor reading experience with text overlapping, nearly no spacing between words, and awkward page navigation.
- Bluetooth audio issues where playback resets to start when Bluetooth device disconnects.
