I think this is a fantastic reading app. I've tried several different apps, but this is the best out of all of them. My only complaint is with the Text To Speech feature. It will read the text, but it will turn the page before I'm finished reading. I like to read along while I listen, and it's frustrating to have to manually turn the page back because Book Reader pre-maturely flipped the page. It doesn't make for a good immersion reading experience. What I've been doing instead is converting these books to MP3s via Zamzar and having the MP3 file of TTS play in the background on my phone while I read the text with Book Reader. It's a pretty decent fix 90% of the time, but wouldn't it be so much better if Book Reader's built in Text to Speech feature worked well? Kindle for PC doesn't prematurely turn the page when you have TTS activated. But other than this complaint, it's fine. It reads EPUBS and MOBI's perfectly, though PDFs are impossible to see. Could probably use something to enlarge the text like Adobe Reader's app. You can enlarge the page, but it's awkward and it feels more like zooming in on an image than adjusting font size. If these two issues were fixed, it would give it a full 5 out of 5. It's still a great app though, so I'll give it a 4.

It's really good at organizing my books and other documents, and it also let's me continue from where I left off. I'm also able to bookmark pages or words from my books ,look up words I don't know, and doesn't show ads even though it's free. There are other features I haven't used yet but so far the app is awesome👍 Edited

I like this a lot, only issue I am having is the tts is reading word with apostrophes incorrectly. it acts like it replacing it with a space. so we'll is read as we ll. But as noted by the dev below, it's an easy fix. I love being able to exclude some characters as well as add new words and or correct the pronunciation. Edited

Just remove the apostrophe from the "skip list" in the TTS setting, it's a small bug, will be fix in the next update.

Very good but 2 issues: A. Finger scrolling is insensitive on my phone (huawei mate 8) B. I could only add one dictionary (from my personal apps) no more! All other dictionaries shown are preselected by Book Reader i can't change them. In short: poor dictionary management. Ps I'm not natively English speaker, i heavily use more than one or even more than two dictionaries at once. But i have to say that the online dictionaries there are distinguished, thank you all Edited

Please send by email links to your dict apps. The idea is to working with one dictionary all the time.

Good jobs to you guys but I discovered something which had always on this particular app, anytime I want to refresh the app may include a new folder to scan, I noticed that everything will become so blank. And it usually not easy to access my apps that are newly downloaded. How can it done? Thanks for this great initiative. Keep it up!
