Customer Reviews
So far, so good
Easy download from my local independent bookstore website, then simple download of books from my store account. Reading on iPhone, and so far seems straightforward and as pleasant as you get on this size. So pleased to have buying local so easy!
Works as advertised
One of my recent purchases from the Books, Inc. website was damaged every time I tried to download it from Google Books, so they steered me toward this app. Works like a charm.
The only downside so far is that on several of my purchases, the cover art is distorted or oddly cropped, so my library screen looks awfully ragged. If they could clear up this bug, it'd be a five-star effort.
Work-around for authorizing on iPad2
I like the reader since I figured out a workaround for the authorization bug (iPad2). When I hit the "Continue" button in the authorization window, the app would come up with an error message. Instead of hitting "Continue", hit "Go" on your digital keypad. Voila, it worked. It would be nice if the developers could be contacted through this site to report bugs.
