Great ePub Reader!
Being an avid reader, I routinely look for newer and better software to enhance the experience, but I keep coming back to Maple. Using Calibre’s opds server function, the link up between my laptop where the ebooks arrive and my phone where the ebooks are read is smooth and fast. There are enough options for font, size, layout, background, overall look of the app, how pages are turned, etc. to please anyone and the controls for them are quick and easy. There are lots of options for sorting and viewing multiple books so I can quickly find whatever I want from 3000+ titles. Navigation within books is easy and you can set bookmarks. Good, responsive support from the developer. Both thumbs up!

Wonderful ePub reader app
I tried several ePub apps before finding this gem. I like to have all my books on my Ereader (and there are thousands). I was very frustrated with the other ebook readers because after I bought a new iPad, I could only move 1 book at a time from Caliber. MapleRead SE has an option called PC Upload which allows me to upload hundreds at once. It only takes seconds. So easy. There might be a way using those other apps, but I couldn’t find it. This app is wonderful. I even had a question on how to do something, and Customer Service emailed me back on a Sunday. Can’t say enough good things about this app.

Best combined epub & PDF Reader for iPad and iPhone
We’ve been waiting ages for a competent and well-designed iPad e-reader which handles both epubs AND PDFs. MapleRead SE finally ended this wait. By far the best and most elegant e-reading app available. Developer is active on the app’s mobileread forum thread and responds to bugs and feature requests promptly. He added “instant” page turns and two-page PDF viewing in Landscape, both of which are huge for us. I have NO affiliation with MapleRead whatsoever, just appreciate a great app when I see it (which isn’t very often). Worth $20 easy in my opinion.
