It is quick, simple and free to download. Within minutes you’ll be able to read library eBooks and listen to Audiobooks across a multiple array of devices. You can even read and listen offline.

Just log in once, begin reading and then when you exit, your place is automatically bookmarked and saved so you can pick up right where you left off the next time you log in.

Great app, but somehow it now does not default to the last page I was on after opening the app again. Goes back to some other page. Work around is to bookmark that lage, but still annoying. Cannot find a setting for this either. Thanks Update: New Version installed and seems to work perfectly now. Thanks!

I have just installed the app and i cant login as my keyboard doesn't show up. It could just be a problem with my phone, but every other app let's my keyboard show and lets me type, so im pretty sure its a problem with the app. However, i have had good experiences with eplatform on my laptop, i jusr cant login on my phone.

The layour is decent. Otherwise, I have issues. Often when reading books I have trouble going to the next page and it takes ages to work. For audio books, I'd prefer if there's an option for the sleep timer to have it turn off after a certain amount of chapters, so if the chapters are shorter and I want to listen to more than just one before it shuts off, I don't finish mid chapter. It also doesn't sync between different devices well, so when I open it on a different device it's the wrong place.
