Awsome app!

Zero Stars

Deletes books, collections don’t sort alphabetically, randomly reverts according to who knows what sort algorithm.

Generally, a mess. Good for less than a dozen books. Definitely not a library.

And heaven forbid that it exist on more than 1 device.

Anybody produce a PDF book reader? Anyone else?

Needs Fixing

I have contacted Kobo, and I am sure this issue will be fixed but... when readers stop reading a book the next time you want to read it you have to download it. This means that the app is pretty useless once you leave home.
