Pros and cons of YiBook - epub txt reader app for iPhone and iPad

YiBook - epub txt reader app good for

Really so much better that iBooks. Especially the wifi transfer..
Yibook is very good. But highlighting would be better instead of just underlining words. Then, if you could make the screen rotating that would be great. I also liked the feature to resize the font and space between the lines which other readers do not have.

Some bad moments

Only allows you to have 5 books in the free version, so you cant tell how it would handle a large library (and does not seem worth purchasing the upgrade). Doesnt group books by author, and is always in portrait view, never landscape. Buggy interface to free ebook libraries, so sometimes the book downloads but sometimes it will not.
Simple, fast and clean. iBook killed itself upon auto upgrade. Rather than buy a new phone and unable to get per-iOS 7 version I tried this. It works well and what else do you want from an application? Loading and deleting via a browser is clean and effective.
Im thoroughly enjoying this reader. Its elegant, configurable with a ton of typefaces, underlining, bookmarking by simply pulling down and releasing on desired page. All in all, a really well made and well thought out app.
