Ereader purchase

App & Portal

This little gadget is really great and can totally keep up with the other ones out there. The controls are easy to understand, and I really like the fact that it has features like Pocket and OverDrive integration - so convenient. The only downside for me is the limited library card integration with OverDrive. Because I have a few library cards, I always have to switch accounts to get to my books, which is quite annoying. If this problem gets fixed, I'd have no issue giving this product a top rating.

Libra 2 e-reader

App & Portal

The Libra 2 e-reader has been awesome for my reading. I really like the page buttons, but I wish they were spread out more because they're too close to the middle and a bit tricky to use. The new screen with the night color option is cool, I like the change. But, I keep getting ads for romance novels, which I'm not into at all. It would be better if they could suggest books that match what I actually like to read.

New e-reader

App & Portal

My new e-reader is awesome and it works really well, but there are some things that bug me about it. Like, when I turn it on, it takes forever to sync or update, it's like watching paint dry. And sometimes the books I download just disappear, so I gotta download them again, which is annoying especially without Wi-Fi. The email change thing doesn't work at all, so you gotta call customer support and deal with bad phone connection or type out your whole issue super slow.

E-reader purchase for library book borrowing

App & Portal

The Nia e-reader is awesome, it's the perfect size and really easy to use. But I had a problem getting library books on it 'cause the British libraries don't have the right software to connect Adobe to my new e-reader like they did with my super old one. Also, it's a bit tricky finding and pressing the on/off button, especially when I'm reading in bed and it's dark.

New e-reader purchase

App & Portal

This is my third e-reader and I recently bought the latest model from you guys. I really like how it looks and works, it's a big improvement from my old ones. But I was pretty bummed when I realized I couldn't get audiobooks from my library. I always tell my friends to get this brand because it's so easy to use with Overdrive, so this was a bit of a downer for me.
