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.

Could be great, but the UI is difficult. All I'm trying to do is make it so I can scroll up or down by swiping my finger up or down on the screen. The UI seems very customizable, but with so many options, custom screen areas, custom commands, no way that I've found to reset it to default, and no instructions, it rapidly turns into an unfixable mess. A couple of points that everyone seems to have forgotten: 1) Simpler is better. 2) What you think is "intuitive" isn't intuitive for everyone.

Have been using this app for a while, but an update stopped me from pausing the text to speech function with my headphones, and recently, I've been having scrolling issues. Where I'm scrolling down a list of books when all of a sudden, the list refreshes, starting me at the top of the list, so I have to keep scrolling multiple times.
