5 stars: Easy to use... Easy to browse. I like that I can scroll through various lists and rating and price without needing to click individually (as is necessary on other apps such as Audible). There are also several filters that can be applied to quickly narrow down choices: trending, genre, rating, price, language, etc. My favorite app for audio books!!
5 stars: At first I didn't want to use this app coz I thought it was going to be exclusively for ebooks purchased directly from the Playstore. But i was wrong. This app supports upload from external sources and as a reader, it's perfect and have nearly all the features I could wish for. It has auto sync for notes and bookmarks. They offer some free books too. It's now my default reader.
4 stars: Please add split screen layout for galaxy fold. It's the best device to read books on, but in regular handled mode it doesn't divide the page into two to read like a book. The app splits the page in landscape mode, but it should also work in portrait. Or add a toggle so the user can adjust how it looks.
4 stars: I have enjoyed using Google Books since the beginning, the only issue I have is when using read aloud, the page in the viewer doesn't always (or most often) stay synced with what is being read. Then if you stop, it returns to the page in the viewer, not where it stopped reading. Please fix... I do want to compliment the speech team, the synthesized voice is very good. It only stumbles on words with 2 pronunciatio...
