LEAF from Aspen 4+

Ok, cool, but why no eBook?

Most of my books are available as eBooks. I rely on them so I don’t have to tote heavy books to campus and back. For whatever nonsensical reason, Aspen forces users to log onto a website to access eBooks, which is annoying because it thus requires one to be “online” or they can download on portions for “offline” access. When I received the email about Leaf, I was super excited, and immediately downloaded it assumed they finally released an App eReader but nope. This is just an audiobook application. Doesn’t let one take notes, or anything. Very disappointing. If anyone at Aspen Publishing reads this comment, take note: WE WANT AN APP TO E-READ BOOKS AND TAKE NOTES, THAT IS ACCESSIBLE EVEN WHEN OFFLINE.

only audio :(

i hate casebook connect's website and was SO excited for an app-based reader, but it's only audio. could i have looked closer? yes. i probably should have, but i was blinded by my naïve optimism. i held out hope that this app could replace their janky website, but no such luck. heart is broken and my day is ruined. aspen please for the love of god please make something better for iOS/PadOS than that website i'm on my knees screaming crying begging

Just a preview but I great start.

Even though these are not the full books right now, it worked extremely well. I hope Aspen will hurry up and make this available for all their books. Has a nice student. I do a lot of reading/listening while in the car. I have had to use other apps to insert the text so that it will read to me. It would be nice to be able to access all my books from one place. I really hope this gets rolled out for full additions very soon.
