I love my Libra colour reader but for audiobook I use the app on my phone. And carry on books when I forgot my reader, the synchronisation system works pretty well.
this is a good app to read Kobo books in alternative to Kindle. It can have cheaper book versions . It does at times freezes when opening a book for me though. I have quite of a new phone.
Going back on anything is terrible with the app. It is impossible to click the back button once you are reading a story and when searching in the store itll actually send you back to the menu instead of the previous page.

another wonderful story by Becca Jameson. I really enjoyed the interaction between Scythe and Winnie, drama, smexy times, innocence and love abound in this book.
Has many nice features, like the dictionary. Improvements I'd like: to be able to go much dimme, and brightness adjustment by sliding the side of the screen. There are also some rare text issues, where a section goes off screen and i need to switch to vertical scrolling to read it.
I signed up for a trial of kobo plus yesterday, already disappointed!! I started an audiobook yesterday and this morning it reset back to the beginning!!

Every day at random it resets your audiobooks back to the beginning. This is extraordinarily frustrating. I havent been able to get through one book without it resetting the book randomly. Definitely going to be canceling my subscription. Don't download this app unless you are willing to have to try remember where you were with your book at any given point.

Awful app. Utterly, malignantly useless. I'm simply trying to switch Google accounts, and the app cannot even do something as basic as that. I've had bowel movements with more intelligence.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
