Description

Beautiful images, elegant formatting, graceful page turning or scrolling, and precisely customized color and contrast. Contents live from Project Gutenberg with last-minute update, more than 60,000 most important books ever published in history. Plus more than 7,000 human-read audio books.

Number of Books: No other apps have more Gutenberg books, and many competitors are missing some classic Gutenberg books.

Reading: Texts and images are presented by a sophisticated book reader: beautiful presentation, graceful page turning, and the most intelligent Table of Contents (better than any other book reader for the same book).

Listening: There are more than 6,000 human-read audio books. In addition. Full control through headset: pause, play, skip to next/previous track, forward/backward seeking.

Read-along: Audio and Text are synchronized when possible. You can read, listen, or read-Along, and switch between them at will.

Export: Export a book together with your bookmarks and the notes that you insert in the book to anyone and any device, or save it in google drive, one drive, or iCloud.

Boring UI

The UI is so boring.

The paid version is better and cheaper

Used both the free and the paid versions. For $2.99 you are free from the pop-up. However, if you are unwilling to part with your $2.99, you can continue to use the free version without limit, that was what I did in the past until I finally decided that I deserve to enjoying my reading in peace.

TTS

I use TTS and it works pretty good. The voices actually have some inflection in them so they sound pretty good. Every once in awhile it gets stuck and I get a spoken error message that I think says something like “evaluate the owner of string”. I just turn it off and restart it and go back to page.

Hi, Nansdogo

Thank you for using the TTS feature in our app. It is our belief that TTS is improving rapidly in the last few years and it will soon be able to do most of the readings where the display of human emotion is not critical or needed and where human-read books are not available.

One additional advantage of TTS is that the voice is always very clear and steady and no-objectionably human noises are present.

Wish you many hours of happy reading and listening in Gutenberg App.
