Book Bazaar Reader

I was looking for an app to study publications from jw.org (ie study edition of the Watchtower). I have looked at every app like this in the store and each other one is lacking something or other. This allows me to batch import, it will read PDF and epub both, highlight is easy and functional, and epub links work great. Excellent app dev. Great work.

Of the epub readers in the store, this is one of the best. It actually supports styling, unlike most of the other readers, although there are a couple of bugs. Photos work ok, but there doesn't seem to be an option to bring them up for viewing - you must zoom the entire page. The voice option is very interesting but the controls don't work well in snapped mode. No built in dictionary. Doesn't support continuous scrolling or multiple columns like IE's reading mode. Footnotes are treated like links, which is ok, but not as nice as a popup system like Bookviser. It would be great if it were available as a universal app for Windows phone too, especially if it had some sort of synchronization service. There isn't any special pen support for note taking. No printing support either. Overall, it's probably the best reader out there. It just looks a bit rough around the edges. This is definitely the best one in the store though.

Ads are too expensive to remove, however they are not too intrusive. I love the cloud sync feature as I use two different devices and this makes both libraries completely organized. The app itself is nicely customizable and the reading experience is enjoyable due to several themes. It's the best reader app on Windows. I just wish it would show the series order of books as I tag them in Calibre.

Book Bazaar is easily the best ereaders on the windows platform. I have updated my ratings because most of the issues are fixed. However, it still fails to render and load some of my epubs., Secondly, It is slow loading the books/magazines. It does not have a refresh option when you add new books or remove old ones, you will have to manually remove or add them. There is no companion app for the Desktop users. Overall, I am very impress with this app and as it is grows and keeps getting better I hope everything will be resolve with the above mention quirks which may be consider petty. Thanks.
