Since finding this App it’s re-opened a whole universe of reading that I’ve not been able to do since leaving school and having to work. I’m a huge reader but don’t have space to keep my own books and with a disability these days I really couldn’t get to a library often enough to get books back in time. if I select one word automatically show the definition - if I select multiple words automatically highlight in the last colour, clicking on the highlight remains the same if you meant a one word highlight or to check a multi word definition search across all libraries I have registered.Īll in all a fabulous app, credit to the development team for creating something so usable. After finishing a book (and during actually) you can view the timeline of your reading ‘journey’ of a book, and downloading this gives you a super cool web page summary of all the salient details including all the passages you highlighted - awesome (csv also available).Įxtra things I would love: history of all definition look ups, a la kindle intelligent rules for look up e.g. Links to extend to google, Wikipedia etc are also provided. The definition uses the Oxford Dictionary as well as ‘topic’ results from Duck Duck Go which are amazing succinct summaries with related topics also being surfaced. Whilst reading a book, you can highlight passages or look up the meaning of words and phrases. There is a history and timeline of the various books you have borrowed, placed on hold and returned which is already proving useful. You can add cards at multiple libraries and manage the loans and holds across all seamlessly. This app is brilliant for its main purpose, borrowing and reading library books, but also all the supporting features are pretty solid too.
