This is by far the worst app I have ever used. First of all it is slow even on state of the art devices. I wanted to highlight some text. It highlighted actually some text I didn't mark at all and now I cannot even undo it.... It is just not recognising the marked text as being marked... Which it actually marked itself, god knows why..... It is nearly impossible to work with this app, but they force me to use it, if I want to read that copyrighted book.... Such a pain in the...

a joke of an app, absolutely horrible. I constantly have to authorize my ID and more than half of the time it fails. (The authorization in the first place was a pain, but doing it every time I wanna open my book?) Other readers can do much more, are easier to use and more versatile. No idea why more than 1 million people downloaded this poor excuse of a reader. I'd rather read my book engraved in an obelisk, than having to deal with this. Thanks for nothing, adobe!

This app should not exist. Poor quality, barely functional ereader. If you are not seated at a desktop w/a large screen or using a large tablet, you will need a magnifying glass to see the text. The publisher of a book I just purchased only offered an electronic version using this app. It really shouldn't be an option. Adobe should do much better than this. If they can't add some additional functionality they are doing everyone (including their brand) a disservice.
