(Android) reading in japanese in very uncomfortable. app doesn't send me to the page I stopped reading at last time. even if i didn't close the app and just checked online translator - the app throws me to a different part of the book. after an update it is worse: app doesn't send me to the page with a note i created , when i choose it from annotations list. imho your app doesn't take in account that japanese books are read from right to left. as opposite to english books.

Very unhappy with it. It's an obligated choice for a book that I downloaded. The Wikipedia function is very limited, only works with singular nouns or verbs in the infinitive. I can't link a dictionary to look up words. The worst is that the most basic function, highlighting, which is the one I need the most, works 30% of the time. The rest of the time, it flickers, messes up the font size, doesn't highlight, highlights another random part of the page, or selects the whole page. Poor quality.

Why is this app so bad? I've only just started using it because my Kobo Touch ereader is getting glitchy and very slow. I downloaded one book from my library to the app. What a poor reading experience! If I alter one setting the menu goes straight back to the text. So I have to bring up the menu again to alter a related setting. Worst of all, the central text alignment can't be altered, so there are random large gaps between words, which is distracting. Display quality is also poor.
