Perfect for me
I was looking for a reader that can handle Gutenberg Project books by verticals scrolling. I read on my iPad, have had cataract surgery and require 3.5 readers. I have problems with only the center of my glasses being in focus- the rest of my screen is not a clear- so I prefer verticals scrolling. I can keep my eye focused in one place and move the text rapidly into that field of vision. It's especially useful in portrait mode if I am reading in bed on my side before falling asleep. I like the ability to size the font and space the lines and adjust the color of the page and brightness. Combined, these features very much improve my reading enjoyment. It's very easy to find an epub format of free online books and then "open" it in this app. Nice library of icon-images of the books. I don't really use any other features. I am a fast reader, often finishing it in a couple of days.

Awesome app for avid book readers
For a while there my only go to app for reading ePub format ebooks was iBooks but each time I changed devices I had to resort all my books, I'm kinda the obsessive compulsive book sorter. With the excellent UI of this app I no longer have to spend my time in sorting my collection simply syncing it and reading. Making my reading sessions pure bliss.

Exactly what I have been looking for!lly
This app has everything I could hope for reading on my phone. Auto-scroll, dropbox linked, & an option to add photos! (and more) So happy to find this & really worth what I paid for the full version :) Thanks for putting so much thought into what users want!
