## Review summary

Reviewers repeatedly cite font-size and readability problems, ineffective navigation (TOC/search), and poor formatting as major flaws. The app appears outdated and slow, with many noting it forces use of ebooks.com’s own reader and provides inconsistent support. A minority praise its account syncing, visual design, and support for independent booksellers, but the overall consensus is negative due to usability, accessibility, and DRM limitations.

### Pros

- Syncs with your ebooks.com account across devices
- Visually appealing UI / looks nice
- Supports small businesses / anti-Amazon stance
- Some users remain loyal to the app and use it long-term

### Cons

- Font size and readability are poor or non-adjustable (tiny text, no effective zoom)
- Navigation and table of contents are unreliable or unusable (non-working contents page, blank ToC, poor search)
- Poor formatting and rendering (misformatted paragraphs, no indents, odd line breaks, hyphenation issues)
- Outdated/slow performance; app feels old and has not been updated
- DRM/purchase model forces use of this app to read ebooks, with limited cross-compatibility
