Description
Welcome to Glassboxx: hassle-free eBook and audiobook access, all in one place.
Glassboxx cuts through all digital content ‘authentication’ issues, consolidating your eBook AND audiobook purchases made through affiliated stores, within an eminently user-friendly, secure environment.
No password required – simply log in with the email address used to buy the book and enter the verification code sent to your email – and your content awaits in the ‘My Books’ area of the app, with formats clearly labelled. With the content in the cloud, downloading requires an initial internet connection, but once downloaded, your books can be enjoyed to your heart’s content in the remotest, furthest-flung corners of the earth, where internet penetration is a mere pipe-dream…
THE AUDIO-PLAYER WILL:
• Auto-save your current position in the book – so that you can pick up right where you left off, even if listening on different devices
• Allow for skip forward/backward to recap where relevant
• Offer sleep timer option
• Play on lock-screen, enabling easy access to playback controls
• Play in background whilst browsing other apps
• Play immediately, and download in the background (provided internet access is available)
THE EREADER ALLOWS FOR:
• Page book-marking, opening the title at the right place when you pick up, even across multiple devices
• Font-size and font face changes, as well as dyslexic-friendly font
• Background colour changes
• Full text search

Ratings and Reviews
Awful
Glassboxx is an app that allows you to take a book you’ve paid for and read it in such a basic, terrible, unusable way that you’ll wonder why you bothered to buy it in the first place.
I’ve been a supporter of books through the platform Unbound pretty much since they started. Their embrace of this shoddy product, instead of simply giving you the readable file for the book you’ve backed so you can read it on your own device in your own way, guarantees I’ll never be supporting anything through them again.

Hello Stephen - the ereader has a great list of features from annotations through to setting background colours and changing font size. Some book formats if they are fixed format or PDF may not be able to leverage all those features. If you have a particular feature you need on an eReader we'd love to hear more - reach out to us at help@glassboxx.com we'd love to talk to you about it.
Stuck
Brings up a login screen then says you need a prior purchase to log in.
PUP claims to offer free e-books to authors through this service, but doesn’t seem to work this way
Developer Response ,
Hello John, you will first need to redeem your ebook from the Princeton site using the voucher code shared with you by the Princeton team. Once you have done this you will need to download the Princeton App - not Glassboxx. Please contact us at glassboxxhelp@firstygroup.com - very happy to go through this with you so you get your ebook and the Princeton app downloaded.
got ti working now
Now that I have managed to order an e-book from PUP, I can get this working
