I went with a Kobe e-reader for features for the price. It's still great, but this app is awful. It's stuck at loading the library and no books show up. I tried everything customer support said, multiple times. No luck. It's worked in times past and is okay then. But these sync issues happen often. When I check out or buy a new book it often doesn't appear. (I've tried repairing my account, repeatedly. It doesn't work).

Slow, crashes a lot, buggy (it doesn't retain the last page read of you reopen a book properly, it goes the the last page read minus 1 page for some reason) or simply doesn't open without first killing the app entirely. I was looking at a kindle replacement since their latest update... Kobo isn't gonna be it.

Overall pretty good but definitely some glitches. There is no way to have the app automatically match the device brightness, you can only adjust it manually from inside a book and through some settings, and the app doesn't remember what you did for very long. IE if I am reading a book and then a few minutes later I get a text and go deal with that, when I return to the book it reverts to the previous setting - going dim when I adjusted it brighter or vice versa.
