I use this frequently, but the ability to manage files is terrible. When you mark a file/book as "delete from the device" ... it doesnt' i removes it from canook, but the file remains in the file system. Also, when any file is deleted, it still shows in teh interface and can't seem to find a "sync" idea where it will only show the books i have on the device and should be updatable.

I'll be fair and not give this a one star since it may be a glitch with the current book I'm reading. However, when I leave off in a book, it doesn't remember where I left off. It might take me back to the beginning of a chapter and even several chapters back. The bookmark doesn't always work . So it sometimes is like a treasure hunt to find where I left off. Will change the rating accordingly to what happens with future books. Update: It seems to be working now.

I've actually come to like this. I was a old version guy. But I love the fact that it will also read it out loud. I solved the issue of it going back to the beginning of the book when I turn my phone by setting it permanently on Portrait mode. Pissed me off at first but I finally got it. My only question is if there will be anymore voices added for it to read from. That and it would be cool to be able to edit pronunciation of words.
