Works very well for me. I just wish cover art wasnt initially stored separately from the ebook file. A lot of my covers were lost during sd to sd tranfer and time consuming to find them EDIT: Downgraded to 1 star. user experience is now very poor and the app no longer brings up all of my downloaded book, even though I have imported all of them. Time for me to find a new reader.

I downloaded Leaving College: Rethinking the Causes and Cures of Student Attrition, and ALL of the pages are blank. I paid $29 for a book I can't even read. Then, when I click on the Help option in the menu, Aldiko is not even using the help desk service anymore, so I can't get in contact with anyone to look into the issue. Very frustrating. Fix this and I'll update my review.

It's clear the developer forgot why people downloaded Aldiko in the past. It's so bad now, used to be simple: open app, see files that were imported, could open one and scrub through it... Finding what I want to read should not be an experience, you're doing a good job when people don't know you're there. Time to find a different reader. Coolreader still works!
