This is by far the most convenient ebook reader for Android. Bluelight filter, bluedict integration, dark mode, first letters bolding, custom colors, epub support, you name it! Unfortunately recently I discovered that the highlight option is no longer available!!! Which is a must-have feature for any form of serious study. (I really do not wish to switch to other apps but if I can't highlight I'll have no other choice) To the hardworking developer(s) of Librera: We need highlighting feature!

This the Best Reading app. Been using for a long time and never plan on stopping. Suggestion: It will be nice if the app have a category feature where users can categorize books based on how they perceive the books. It could act like an invisible folder for group books based on how the users perceive them. Tags makes the screen look a little bit clustered. Therefore having a tab called "category" or something that captures the concept would be terrific in my own opinion.

I absolutely love this app. Everything is customizable and doesn't charge a fee to do so like other apps. From the font, size, color, scrolling options, brightness, and so much more. It found and consolidated all of my previously downloaded books automatically and painlessly. But the best part of this app is the included widget, it turns my homescreen into an actual library, displaying each of my open books by their covers and takes me to each individual book from the home screen. Love this app
