The rest of the title of the article in Appolicious is: “… arrives late and is lacking”.
If you own a Sony Reader device, you’ll enjoy this new app. If not, you’ll find this 1.0 app doesn’t match the features of the apps for the Nook and Kindle, so it won’t be as compelling. …
The Reader app works well enough, but the features aren’t up to par with the Nook and Kindle apps. … What’s missing? A fair amount including — locking landscape or portrait mode against accidental flip, dictionary lookup or using book content as search words out on the web, and synchronization of furthest reading point between reader device and phone.
Actually it sucks the way it is now. I cannot access all my books yet. The Sony Tech Dept. from Central America has been working on the problem now ever since the app came out. I’m hopeful every time I look at my apps in the Android Market to see an update for the app. So far, nothing.
I could forgive the lack of features, but not the fact that I have no access to all but **two** of my purchased Sony ebooks and, customer service hasn’t be any help whatsover. (They suggested I upgrade the firmware on my Sony Reader, for the love of ____ !!!)
To call a spade a spade, this thing blows and is way more frustrating that it’s worth. I’m walking away from purchasing any further content from their store.
