Wanted a reader for ePUB books that maintains the alignment and formatting of the book. This one does most of the time, with a few exceptions. I like the view of the books on my list, it includes cover art. I like the page turning animation. The TTS voice sounds more natural than others I've tried. It spells words it can't pronounce, but can be tweaked in pitch and speed. Was going to rate 4 stars but it works better than some I've tried that ruin the format or pop noisy ads. Thnx! 🤓

Excellent app, could use a feature or two more. Specifically, it would be cool if I could read a comic book and listen to an audiobook at the same time. I also noticed that when listening to an audiobook, it doesn't operate like a typical music player and show the widget in the notification. That would be cool, too. Overall I'm very happy.

[2025_04-02] I use Free Ver offline, mainly with PDFs 🤍. . . Enjoy'g the app. [On my Motorola, only Google's TTS Synthesis is available as the voice file. Do not know how to DL PB's voice audio files, if there're any] . . . Customizable document backgrd, text & link colors. Vertical or side page change with or w/o animation. Six or so highlight colors available--PB, PLEASE create option to erase/remove highlights from docu & an option to create custom colors . . . Other minor issues, but 👍
