Ratings and Reviews
Kobo Comfort
During the 2020 pandemic whilst stranded in America and more recently in the Republic of Georgia I have found comfort in always having my library with me. I have spent some wonderful hours with Kobo.
Brush up some styles perhaps?
By showing few samples of an ebook especially of random pages so there’s no need to download a preview when downloading uses a lot of internet data. I hope pronunciation for foreign languages other than English is accessible, made ready, wonderfully spoken, correct for use maybe some days soon because I’m a keen learner of various stories which are written well by foreigners outside. This ebook platform is special as it has a ebook device for sale and it doesn’t force members to pay hard cash every year so basically websites or apps without yearly promising fees are rare yet enjoyable to employ. Hopefully I keep using such magnificent app as long as I still am young, alive and kicking so those prices I paid for one book and another or the next won’t be wasted or forgotten.

My rating used to be higher
However recently, I’ve struggled with the app because it first would not stay on the last read page. I submitted feedback and now it keeps closing the book whenever I return to the app. Ok, that really is a step up but it’s an unnecessary step overall. I’d like to just open the app and carry on reading from where I left off but that’s not possible anymore. Hence the downgrade to 3 stars.
