Tomas -
"I have been using this app for many years. I love it. I wish the Kindle app had the features and ease of changing things on the fly. A thing like changing the screen brightness by swiping. This is my main reading app."
B Happy
"программа перестала работать - даже не открывается :("
Alexei Tchourkin
"Bad interface, colors, menu from top not hided and another brightness, not comfortable reeding at the night. Looks like application from 2010 year"
Dmitrii Buriachek
"Lovely little reader. I had this on the original Kindle fire and still come back to it. No Ads, no Frills. Just an easy going,easy to use reader. Great work Devs."
Monty Mole
"Online catalogues do not work. Nor can I add one successfully. This app is one I've used for many years. It really needs modernising. You cannot read any pdf files either. On the other hand, it is simple to use and contains no ads."
Kerry
"Tapping leads to really weird screen effects."
