Very good app!

May be fine for novels or anything purely text, but for maths and science textbooks absolutely useless. Does not render any Greek letters, equations etc., just leaves a blank space. Also cuts off diagrams when they run off the page.

The android app isn't good. Logging in is problematic, it doesn't allow the screen to rotate which makes it hard to read, it doesn't fit the page to the screen. In short, lacks functionality. There doesn't seem to be any advantage to the user compared to pdf. I hope other publishers don't move towards this kind of format. Definitely a step backwards.
