User reviews

Doesn't display most of the books correctly; there's a lot of missing text and images.

No support for touch or pen! 😦 If you highlight a selection some words are skipped and remain unmarked. There is no way of editing a selection once you've made it. Same with notes and highlights. Highlights get the hand cursor, but they are not clickable. There is no way to zoom, not with trackpad nor touch (using the trackpad to pinch-to-zoom you actually scroll the pages, using the touchscreen does nothing). If you select a single word there is no way to highlight or add a note to that selection.
