Ratings and Reviews
Genius application!
Gives you feeling of reading old fashion book, but it offers so much more. Great animation of turning pages, so many options, and great option of searching words in dictionary/google.
Unpolished, but really cheap
Still not used to how difficult it is to turn the pages, but books are half the Kindle price, so…

There are definite problems with this new version of Kobo. Opening up books takes forever ( cannot be done) if one is not on WiFi or ISDN connection, slower speed internet does not open books and it used to open books with no problem. I find this very frustrating and disappointing. Other than that the app is great! Please fix this gliche in the program so once we use up our Mgbts we can still download and read our favorite books. Thanks!
