Many people says they prefer proper paper books to the electronic versions. This , as a recently retired academic, I don’t understand. Perlego has allowed me to read instantly any kind of books both offline and online which are available on its platform without worrying of buying them separately like kindle or other E-reader platform does.. as I can buy subscription on monthly or yearly basis and most importantly can cancel the subscription at any given time from the accounts settings without any catch. I once had to visit a specialist bookshop for, wait weeks for delivery, then go pick them up. I can actually now search fro a half remembered quote to use in papers I am writing. On the leisure side I can search for books without getting a crick in my neck looking at high shelves, and carry my whole library with me on holiday. I can read all day without the pain in my thumb from years of holding books open. I can search and find new books from favourite authors and download them without worrying of buying them separately. I love Perlego..
Perfection!

I love this app! As a geeky reader, I used to buy tons of books until I barely had enough space to keep them, and I also spent quite a lot of money. I was sooo happy to find Perlego. They have really good titles and authors that I love! 💜 It has been quite helpful because sometimes I bought books that I didn't end up liking the content of, but with this app, I can have a look through them without having to make the decision to buy. Everything they have is accessible to everyone with your monthly subscription -no additional costs! and they keep adding books every week, which is fascinating. I can even download up books from the app and read them offline, which is super handy, especially when traveling or in areas with poor wifi. 100% recommend it! 😍
The best reading platform: Perlego!

Perlego has an amazing website and an incredible app where you can browse and read thousand of books of different topics. Not having to buy every single book that will end up accumulating dust in the shelf or end up as one more product consumed in my virtual library is an amazing response to a world that needs to promote accessibility and positive environmental impact. With an accessible membership everyone is benefited: the readers, the publishers, the app and the environment! Thanks, Perlego!

Hi Rebeca, thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback - it means a lot to hear that Perlego is living up to its mission of making education accessible!
good idea but needs work

the idea of a textbook subscription service is great, but perlego is held back by lack of functionality in the app. these things have been mentioned in other reviews (scrolling instead of page turning, progress across the whole book, etc) but my biggest gripe is that it doesn’t support split screen on the ipad. if i’m going to have a digital textbook, I need to be able to take notes from it at the same time as reading it, and this is the sole reason I can’t use perlego. extremely disappointing, as I could overlook the other issues quite happily. the kindle app supports split screen just fine, so I would look forward to a patch that would fix this for perlego in the future, since it’s obviously possible.
Developer Response
Hi there, thank-you for your feedback. We can completely understand the need for a split-screen feature! Along with the tools you've mentioned, our app team is looking into tablet functionality and adding split-screen support. For now, readers can take notes with Apple’s slide-over feature. If you'd like more information on this, we'll be happy to help if you can reach out to help@perlego.com 🙂 The Perlego team
