Good stuff I didn't even know this app existed. I will download today.

I don't care for the size of the app and that would not be a major issue if it let me read my already purchased DRM free epub books from other sources in the same app. I have to have another app to read those which now takes the space required for reading ebooks up to 20mb on my device. It is obvious that it can read an ePub since the included user guide is an ePub. If it were able to let me read my other ePubs I might use it and purchase more books from B&N. Oh well. I guess I will stick with the Alkido reader and only purchase DRM free ePub books.

Didn't like it. Kindle is so much better.

I like the app. Wish it could switch to white on black text though. I prefer that for low light reading

always loved Price and Prejudice. It was my favorite economics book in college.

So your entire evaluation of the app is based on the amount of disk space it uses?
The next time I go to the movies, I will form my opinion of the film based on how many seats there are in the theater.

This app is crap. Have you looked at your app manager? It's a large 5MB download, and when installed takes up a massive 17MB of space, larger than any other app on my device by a factor of 3. It's over 30 times the size of the Kobo reader app and 10 times the size of the Kindle app. Obviously written by incompetent programmers. FAIL.

Isn't sharing already built in? I see the LendMe option under the Details page for a book.
