It is very convenient as i use it for school. What I loved about it was the audible because I could listen to my book however, it gets choppy, and i have checked my setting reset go back and then it reads either to fast or way to slow no in between is there not away to fix at least the settings so that it actually matches up to the setting I set.

Edit: please add "android:keepScreenOn" flag to reader fragment. Please. But still... So much improvement from the last time I tried to use it. Easy to use, works with your phone's voice reader, it's responsive, clean, and organized. My only complaint is that it doesn't hold the screen open in reader mode, so I have to frequently tap the screen to keep it awake. Which sort of nullifies the feature where the screen follows with the text.

This is almost unusable! My screen is quite large, but, obviously, to read a textbook, I'm going to have to zoom in. In landscape view, I can read the whole line from left to right, and that's all very well, but I can't turn the page unless I zoom all the way out so that the whole page is about an inch tall. There's an alternative view which shows page turning arrows, but I can't even see all of the page in that view, no matter how I scroll. Fail!
