I cant synchronize with my kobo tablet at all from my iphoneMiss options like personal saved presets for day and night reading for example, which btw also miss on the tablet. Each time I have to move cursors of brightness and color to find the right setting from night to day and vice versa.

Amazing book reader

Very well thought out application with virtually no distractions from the reading in the UI. Allows the usage if the entire screen realastate unlike some other apps which devote half the screen of my iPhone 5 to the book title and page footers.Side loaded content works like a charm as well - which in my case was a must.
Here’s what’s new in our latest release:
• By popular demand, Cover/Grid view is back in My Books.
• On your Home Screen, you can now toggle between Recent Reads or Recently Added.
• We’ve introduced new custom playback speed control for audiobooks, with quick presets for fine‑tuned listening.
• Bookmarks now show a preview of the first few lines right in your Annotations list.
• Enjoy smoother and faster vertical scrolling throughout the app.
