- I loaded this app on my Kindle Fire and love it. You can customize just about everything on here to make the reading experience what you want. Like pink backgrounds with black letters? You can do that. Want to read white, large, bold font on a rock? You can do that too. Hands down, this app beats out the resident book app on my Kindle Fire. I will be donating money to the developer. Note: If you want a bit of advice, take an hour or two to work through the settings to get the look just how you want it. You can seriously adjust almost every single thing so the time is worth it. It took me a bit to get the paragraph look just how I wanted it because you can adjust the amount of indent, line spacing, spacing between paragraphs, spacing between letters, font size, font color, etc...
- This is a MUST HAVE reader for ebook enthusiast. I have been an ebook fan since my Palm smartphone. For the first time in years, I'm able to read mobi books without amazon kindle restrictions. I feel liberated that I can read my old books and new books from independent publishers without going thru Barnes and Nobles, Kindle, etc.. This is a true multi-format reader. It's not perfect. But it's the best for app for reading in multiple formats without using a third party software to translate.
- I keep trying others to see if I can find a better reader, l have not found one yet. The use of the dictionary and highlighting is somewhat backward and it would be nice to have a page turn animation, but for free with no ads these are nitpicks. I like the ability to set almost anything the way you want.
- Очень нравится эта читалка! Из пожеланий: 1.доработать меню работы с книгами, ибо не очень удобно в нем ориентироваться, когда там много книг, среди которых и прочитанные, и не начатые, и те, что читаешь 2.сделать возможность синхронизации с пк-версией программы - это было бы превосходно! Удачи проекту!
- I LOVE this app. I have it has everything and found my books with no problem. Amazing versatility. I especially love that I can choose a background which decreases glare when reading at might - Just wish the name was different! ;) Galaxy Tab 7.0 and Galaxy Note phone
- After trying several so-so reading apps I stumbled across this. It has a huge variety of options yet they are presented intuitively. The effect is that it is easy to get the look on the page you want. I particularly like the finger swipe control over the brightness.
- Love everything about this app including customisation and night mode which doesn't keep hubby awake which is a bonus its ran smoothly since I installed it, Cool Reader should get a higher rating rather apt name!! Well done!!
- Just got it but do far it is reading a book to me. Need to see about loading less annoying voice. Little hard to navigate, sadly may actually have to read entire manual to do basic stuff. But cool so far pretty cool.
- I started out with this app on my phone, and when I got a tablet it was one of the first I downloaded. Really good for reading, heaps of options - haven't found anything I've disliked about it yet. Recommended.
- this is the best reader app out there right now .I tried almost every one before finally getting one that had everything I wanted and was very easy to use.I love it.Get it now and you will too Inpromise!!!!!!
