This is probably one of the best available ebook reader for OLED screens (i.e. samsung phones) on windows mobile, and makes the best use of the screen’s high contrast and the full width of the screen.

(i) temporary files tend to fill up storage space and needs to be cleaned up after reading several ebooks
(ii) sometimes reverts to its default library locations rather the customized location on storage card, after waking up the phone from sleep mode.
