This covers the Premium edition.
After installing, you get the usual Data Mining requests. You can skip these- they're unnecessary for the app to function.
These are important, though. lol Just choose where you want the app to scan for books and you'll be rolling in no time.
As indicated in the text, Prestigio lets you use a wide range of formats; pretty much every available one- except cbr/cbz. So you can't read comics unless they're pdf. But it does do mp3!!! Yep- you can play your music files through it!
You can even change the color scheme of the layout, if you like. More importantly, the Main Page layout has several options to choose from, making it pretty easy to search your files by Author, Title, Series or Date Added.
The real fun starts once you begin reading. The range of bells & whistles available to you make this a snap. From the jump you can change the fonts, formatting, size, margins, navigation, animations, etc. And yeah, there's also a generic audio reader if you're interested.
While reading you can view a popup screen on the book's info- blurb, tags and such.
You can also bookmark, highlight, search text- all the usual good stuff.
eReader Prestigio Premium is a great app! It's fully functional, feature rich, easy to use & navigate and does nearly everything you want/need it to plus a couple you don't expect. This one's a keeper.
4.5/5 stars.
