Open eBooks Reviews

by Jakcudn

Whenever I log out and log back in, it always tells me to download it again, but when I do, it sends me to the login page, this clearly tells me incompetence on the programmers behalf. It also says that some books are “unavailable”, this is a Ebook site, how can it be unavailable, please fix.

It allows me to “borrow” the books but never opens the book to let us read them.

OpeneBooks is trash, I can’t even open it without a clever or first book account.

I’d give this 5 stars in a heartbeat but I have an iPhone XR and the top line of books gets cut off because of the formatting of the book to fill the whole screen but where my speaker is the line gets cut. I’ve tried to downsize the text size and other things and nothing can fix it. It stinks skipping a line on every page

I sped this and I need a clever account of a first book account to login but I’m not trying to do this for school.

I love the idea, and the selection of books on OpeneBooks. However, when trying to read the books, Part of the text is cut off on the top. I have experienced this with every book I have attempted to read, and my students have as well. I hope this gets fixed so I can recommend OpeneBooks to more students. Potential to be a really amazing resource!

The premise of OpeneBooks is brilliant- there are a wealth of books for students to select. It's nice that you can adjust the font and brightness, however it would be nice to see embedded text to speech, or allow for the iOS speech function to work in OpeneBooks .

I love OpeneBooks and what it is intended for, but I have had lots of issues with it not working correctly. I am only allowed to check out six books, and in the parent letter it said 10 could be downloaded. I also get an error message when I try to download some titles. OpeneBooks will also kick me out in the middle of reading. I want it to work so badly because it is such an awesome resource.

I love OpeneBooks for how much books I can read but the problem is half of the time i spent reading the books is usually trying to adjust so i can read the first two sentences of a page. I love how there are different settings for the background and texts which means i can read in the dark without straining my eyes. OpeneBooks is also very easy to navigate. Overall, my only complaint is how it cuts off at the top.

I like OpeneBooks but I can't find some of the books I like to read because they aren't popular... I wish that in the next update they would extend the options of the books you could choose.. Plz add a bigger variety in the next version of OpeneBooks Thanks!!😊 that would make my so happy! (I wonder if people think the same of OpeneBooks..)

I came across OpeneBooks and access to it through First Book Marketplace. It has been an amazing tool for not only myself but also my students. Being able to provide them with free access to a variety of e-books that they can read on the go has definitely changed my students interest in reading for the better. However, there is a formatting issue with the taxed on the iPhone XS Max. The top line of each page gets cut out because of the notch! I really hope this formatting issue is fixed soon!

I like OpeneBooks, it is really good but I don’t know if it is my phone or OpeneBooks , but nothing is loading in on it. I open OpeneBooks because my dad has my real books, and nothing is loading in. I don’t know if it is OpeneBooks or my phone but I hope it gets fixed. Other than that, OpeneBooks is really good!

Has a good collection of books. Would be nice to have categories for detailed when searching for books, also add feature to keep our own list of favorite books.

On the iPhone X, OpeneBooks Open Ebooks is great. However, one problem that I witness every time I try to read on OpeneBooks is, OpeneBooks cuts off some of the top text because of the notch on the iPhone X. The text on top of the page is unreadable because of this problem. Hopefully you can change this so I, along with the many other “Book Lovers” can get back to reading as soon as possible. Thanks.

This is a great affordable(free besides the price of the phone and service) way to get books into children's lives) it's been shown that when children have books available to them they do better in school, could use a bit of touching up but I've had experience trying to find books like these for free and have had no such luck and that alone in of itself makes me give it five stars

by Feelingthelove

If you work with low income families OpeneBooks is a must!!! If you subscribe to First Book you can hand subscriptions to families for free. They can access dozens of books at home for FREE! Again this is all free and the pictures are clear and crisp.

Some books don’t download but it’s because I believe they are maxed out in digital copies. So I suggest trying a different day. Or even a different book.

by Kawaiicupcake Lover

I love OpeneBooks plz get it I read one of the books and fell in love plus I get to read a book without actually opening a real book plus this helps us at school tricking the teacher is SUU much fun anyways thx bye

OpeneBooks is only accessible for schools that hav wit in their learning program. I don’t agree with that because personally they have some really good books on OpeneBooks but only some schools get to get on it. Please try and fix this because I would like to enjoy a book every once and a while.

by Sick And Tired Of This Problem

I tried reporting this issue through OpeneBooks but it won’t connect at all despite my strong WiFi connection. We can’t see the catalog at all to find new books. The books in our library are the only ones we can access. Please fix this issue. We’re trying to connect on an iPad.

by Kat10claire

This is a great app... for everyone who doesn’t have an iPhone X or higher. It’s been over a year since my school has raised the issue of this incompatibility, with little more than “We are aware of the issue and it should be resolved shortly.” I wish I could recommend OpeneBooks for my students, but it just doesn’t work.

by Rbodgers

When I launch OpeneBooks , I’m presented with the End User License Agreement. But there doesn’t appear to be a way to accept the agreement, or otherwise move on.

by QueenRoyalty14

OpeneBooks has great books but it always kicks me out in the middle of reading. I hate it.

by Trojanact

OpeneBooks is amazing when it works. On the iPhone X, this version will not allow me to read it in landscape mode, not will it allow me to zoom in. When that gets fixed I will readjust rating to 5 stars.

by Alex63542

by Zebragirl5

Tony Marx says “download OpeneBooks SimplyE. ( one word) and have access to 1000’s of ebooks”
