Ratings and Reviews
Look up option not working after update
Hi Cantook team,
After the update the option look up is not available, this is a very important option when reading a book since it allows you to read the definition of a word without exiting the app.

The app is spyware. Not usable in current form.
The app has potential, but it’s not usable due to several fatal flaws:
-Categories function totally broken. Can’t create categories, so no way to organize books.
-Changing font size or color is incredibly clunky due to full screen settings page that obscures the effect of font size changes: you just blindly push + or - buttons umpteen times
-Predatory and unacceptable privacy policy. It tracks what you read, including content, notes, and highlights, and sends it back to the developer. This is a total non-starter and is absolutely unacceptable. Even in countries where the privacy of books you check out from the library is protected by law, this app wants to spy on you.
The developer should respect the absolute privacy of what you read and the notes you take, or get out of the business. This behavior is disgusting.

Nice and simple e-reader
This is definitely one of the better e-readers I've found on the here. A lot of the ones I've used either have a horrendous UI, or the book formatting looks awful, but this app gets both of those things right and for that it deserves 5 stars.
