Ebookmobi App Reviews

I bought this app primarily for the promised translation features. It does allow you to touch a word and select "Translate" from the menu that pops up. However the app uses Google translate and after 4 or 5 words Google servers ask you to key in the characters from a word picture to make sure you aren't a robot. So really not usable unless you are fairly fluent in the language.

This is the best e-reader for the iPad yet. It is fast easy to use and it supports many of the e-book formats so you can read your MOBI books and your EPUB books in the same app. It has nice features like the ability to change the brightness of the screen just by dragging your finger up or down.

I was looking for a good and stable reader for books in FB2 and DJVU format (I have plenty). This one is perfect, has no problems.

I loaded up a few hundred books into the app, from A thru Z. The app only shows about half of them, from A to M. According to iTunes, the other books are there, but they don't show up in the app's directory and can't be accessed. On the plus side, the app allows you to filter your directory, making it easy to find books by title or author or keyword if you've put a tag in the title.

Yep, go ahead. It'll prly take care of your needs.

This book reader reads everything that you throw at it. It is very versatile it has many different font options and you can change the brightness by just running your finger up and down on the screen. I upload my books to dropbox and then send them from dropbox right over into this app.

Great way to read books. Love the password feature.

The app could not format all the text from a mobi file. Pieces of words were left out. Paragraphs were all over the place. The font could not be increased. One is sent to a page that explains how to upload dictionaries. A waste of two dollars.

Wanted a reader that could accept both epub and mobi formats. This one fits the bill except every book has right justification on without any way to turn it off. Several emails to the developer went unanswered. I reverted back to using Kindle for mobi and iBooks or Nook for epubs. Disappointing app since turning justification on or off should be a basic function that is supported. Even more disappointing that the developer simply ignored emails instead of having the courtesy of responding with something as simple as "sorry, but you can't turn it off." There are much better apps out there for free; I have found nothing in this app to justify paying for it!

This app is great when it's not bugging out several times per book. Apparently it's a common occurrence because the error message comes with instructions on how to "Refresh", "Delete cache" and "reload". This has happened with every book at least twice per book....meaning you have to go searching for your place before the unexpected error. Fix this and it would be a 5 star app.

Opens up and renders rars, zips, and cbr files flawlessly. The greatest comic/manga reader in the appstore hands down.

Especially since kindle decided to stop allowing mobi. Please add the dictionary to the app itself!!!

Piece of junk, would not open my mobi magazines.

Works great with .mobi and .epub books as well as comics. Just put you books/comics on Dropbox and download straight into your library. Absolutely awesome and easy to use.

Awesome

Closest thing to Moon reader I have found for the iPhone, and an excellent value. Great for people who have a large library with different file types.

5 Stars!!!

If you have your ebooks in the plain text format then this app is not worth the money. Font, size, background setting does not matter, it shows text in fixed width courier font and you can't change it.

The app is wonderful, but my favorite feature (touch'n'translate) is pulling up a Google error page citing suspicious traffic (it mentioned applications violating Google Translate's terms of use) and requires a Captcha to proceed. Needless to say, this disrupts the reading experience. Fix this soon guys! Thanks.

In love this reader and use it daily.

I got this to read MOBI and CBR/CBZ files. It does both great. One of my favorite apps.

This is a nice app for reading .mobi and .prc files. I use GoodReader as my storage app and then open in Ebook Mobi because it sadly lacks user definable categories, vital for users with lots of books. My only other gripe is that sometimes Ebook Mobi won't open a book I've read before, that's listed right there in my contents. Don't know why this glitch keeps coming up.

Has problems reading mobi book. Lots of text shows up as garbage. The pictures are not imported. Terrible for mobi books.

That's it. Works well with lots of formats but a total loser if you want to install dictionary...big bummer there...how much effort would that take to explain????

Offline dictionaries in the pictures don't come with the app. Must find the mysterious stardict file somewhere in the interwebs ... Who knows if this even works The pictures are misleading I just want an ereader app with a bilingual dictionary feature. Why is this nonexistent? One of the best ways to learn a language is to read it, and you don't always have someone fluent to assist as a teacher would. And I don't have the time or money to scour the net hunting some mystery file this app doesn't even provide a link to... Only suggesting you search for it... Waste of money and time

nice try and this app has great potential but it falls short with some basic functions. I had a great deal of difficulty getting this app to display german character set ä, ö, ü, ß even with a text that ibooks diplays natively. this obviates all the utility of translation. i needed to edit xml pagestyle script to make it work - not something i want to do for reading a book. finally the developer does not respond to help requests. if this app were free it would be worth a try but it is not worth paying for....even a nominal fee of .99

Use this for mobi on iPad

Compared to apps like Kindle and iBooks this is a very basic reader. I imported though GoodReader a few books with links (table of contents, XRefs, etc.) I can read the books fine, but the links do not work. They do work in Kindle (as Mobi) or in iBooks (converted to Epub using Calibre). Also, downloading the dictionary is not that straight forward.

I'm in love with this app, it's so useful and easy to use. But the last update came with a big issue, I can no longer swipe between the pages of my documents, I must first zoom by pinching my finger to the screen. I can still turn the page by tapping the side, but this is difficult for one handed use. Please fix! I really want to give this app 5 stars again :)

Your data, you control it. This and VLC make me feel a bit more private than I would otherwise.

Please allow the user to create custom folders to store collections or a series of books in.

I must admit that I have not used this app to read tons of books, as it's intended purpose. However,I have discovered that it is wonderful for storing coupon deals when you have no printer. The barcodes are legible and sales clerks have no difficulty scanning directly from the screen. Great for on-the-go mommies :-)

I have just about every ebook reader in the App Store, and this is my favorite. I especially like the brightness control. Highly recommended.

My favorite feature is the link to DropBox. My friend and share files and books; this feature makes it very easy and convenient. However, it would be nicer if the page were not split into two columns when the iPad is horizontal. Helvetica font would be nice too.

Great reader, easy to use and customizable.

Best feature is the ability to decrease the screen brightness lower then what ipad can do natively.

The best ebook app ios has to offer... Opens almost any file format compared to others even kindle...

I like to read in portrait view. This app makes it two pages instead of a single page. Also, will black background the letters are blueish blurry, not clean white.

one among the best ereader apps, however it has some drawbacks: 1. does not have hight light 2. can not read a file > 500kb 3. can not select a phrase of words for looking up i hope next upgrade will fix those

Great app for all formats. Simply Fantastic!

In displaying text occasionally shows graphic characters like hearts instead of the actual character, not enough to render the book unreadable but annoying. I also have at least one book that shows up entirely underlined which is also quite a negative.

Has worked well up til now, but now it has started freezing up.

All the .mobi books I have, somehow in this app has .rar extension and when I try opening them, it crashes. The book has no problem in PC.

I had one important mobi file that I wanted to open. And it did not work.

Forgets what page I'm reading --- useless!!

I would suggest something other than this.

I like this app for reading on my phone

Great app and great support. 5 stars if I could highlight and copy paste

Ok
