Review title of DustinBeats print books, but could stand improvement.
While the software is a bit clunky, it still beats paying for printed books (& paper waste). It could use a lot of refinement though. •When reading, there should be an option to have the book content take up the entire application window - with a mouse-over or click to bring the menu up. •Better control of margins & text size (the new options in v8.3 are nice, but still too much margin, & need a couple more smaller text sizes). I work from a laptop and I have good eyes, I really need the text to be smaller for productivity. (Ctrl & +/- works for text, but doesn't help margins)•Loading issues vary by book, depending on what the actual book contents are inside of the .vbk file (PDF, epub, images, etc). Since you can't access the contents (for DRM reasons), it's hard to know which ones are going to be laggy. •Lastly, like most other apps, this could use a full-app 'dark mode'. Not just the book content, but the interface.Overall, it's not a terrible app, it mostly does what I need.
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.

Just keeps on getting better!
Today’s update, 20 December 2018, was a giant step forward in that the user is now able to search across all books on the bookshelf. A global search is executed from the new home page layout and presents the user with a list of books (scrolled across the top of the page) where the search term was found. Clicking on a specific title will display all the hits found in that title. Clicking on a link from a selected title will take the user to the text within the book where the search term is located. When the Home icon is clicked, the user is returned to the global search to explore the other hits that match the search term.
Another new feature is the carousel-like display (reminiscent of the first Kindle Fire display) of the most recently read titles.
Congratulations to the development team for these latest enhancements. They added real value to the app and greatly enhance the user’s access to content.
It would be great if, eventually, the Apple Pencil or other styluses could be used to write or draw on the pages of ebooks—which would be most useful for academic purposes.

Just use the website
The main benefit of this app is that it is more mobile than the website. However, this app is buggy and is missing some basic features that completely remove the mobile advantage. They force you to frequently type your email and password just to use the app (there is no way to stay logged in), and the “read aloud” function is terrible. The low quality of the voice on my device is understandable because they use your device’s built-in speech engine, but they don’t set up their books to be read correctly by speech engines. Many words on the page are broken into their individual letters, resulting in words being spelled out one letter at a time. All footnotes are announced for every page, so I hope you enjoy having your book interrupted about once a minute to hear about all the legal restrictions on how you can use the book. On top of that, some of the text is skipped and other text that wasn’t even there before is added in. Divisions between chapters are not clearly marked, leaving you confused about the context.
Why would I ever decide to use this app when I can use the larger screen of one of many public computers that are increasingly available to everyone, or my laptop which is easy to bring anywhere?
Misses the Mark
The pharmacology book I bought is in ePub format, so I don’t see why I couldn’t just download it on iBooks to begin with. I would assume they’re pretty good about not allowing users to share books. I can’t think of another reason you’d force users into a proprietary app that is free. Reading the reviews, it looks as though the developers do update this app because I saw an option for night mode which someone had wanted. Here’s what I’d like:
1. Better highlighting, especially with Apple Pencil. This hold and drag business is ridiculous
2. Changed chapter/page format. Each chapter being a page, I can see where that would sound convenient in a meeting but if your chapter is 30+ pages long it’s rather inconvenient to keep scrolling.
That’s all so far. Thanks!
Oh last thing-people are on here rating 5 stars because you can read the book offline with the app-you bought this book. You should be able to view it anywhere, just as you would a physical book. That’s not an amazing feature, that’s basic ebooks. I hope my concerns are addressed but either way I appreciate fewer natural resources being used to make a textbook that I have to have anyway.
