【Premier Reader】: This app costs $6, and our users are paying for it each and every day. Why? It is the best Gutenberg Reader: beautiful images, elegant formatting, and graceful page turning. Contents live from Project Gutenberg with last-minute update, more than 60,000 most important books ever published in history. Plus more than 7,000 human-read audio books.
【Audio books】: There are more than 7,000 human-read audio books, all for the price of a cup of coffee. Alternatively you could pay $3-5 for a single audiobook as some of the "Audio app" would ask you to pay.
【Book recommendation】: Every app gives you a list of book recommendation, but where did they find the list? dreamed up in 'lala' land? We base our recommendation solidly on big data, tens of millions of pages actually read by our users. Downloading or page flipping has no effect on the ranking of our recommendation list.
【Number of Books】: No other apps have more Gutenberg books, and many competitors are missing some classic Gutenberg books, and many competitors use outdated data from Gutenberg.
【Reading】: Texts and images are presented by a sophisticated book reader: beautiful presentation, graceful page turning, and the most intelligent Table of Contents (better than any other book reader for the same book).
【Read-along】: Audio and Text are synchronized when possible. You can read, listen, or read-Along, and switch between them at will.
【Export】: Export a book together with bookmarks and the notes you inserted into the book to anyone and any device, or save it i the cloud (google drive, one drive, or iCloud).
* The PAID version "Gutenberg Books" allows unlimited reading and listening.
Crashes occasionally but restarts where you left off if you select the same book. Would be better if it included sourcing more Gutenberg sites: for instance Gutenberg Australia has some John Carter of Mars books not currently available in the app. Is a satisfactory way to read ebooks on An iPhone 7 Plus.
Developer Response
Kalliste23, Thank you for your suggestion. We will study the Australia site and see if we could include it in our app. One of the concerns is copy right protection. We wish you many hours of happy reading in Gutenberg.Your developer
Night reading mode
TonyRHawkins
Great App, BUT, just upgraded to latest version and now find that I cannot use the night reading facility invoked by selecting the light bulb icon at the bottom bar, which is now missing. Wish I could go back to the previous version as I valued this facility more than the so called improvements.Hurray the light bulb is back. Thanks.
Developer Response
Hi Tony,The missing night reading light bulb will be restored soon. Thank you very much for alerting us this omission in our latest version.

Do not bother. Says you can read without ads and then ads appear. The site then asks you to pay more money to remove the ads. A complete waste of money
Substantially tested against new iPhone devices. Fixed many bugs.
