User reviews

Thanks for such a clever invention. I love to read, but I cann't hold the reading in English for long, I have no problem reading in chinese, I can finish a book in chinese in a night. But when comes to English and Malay text, I just cannot hold my focus and get loss and lose interest. Thanks
