Ratings and Reviews
Generous giving discounts
This app is awesome for manga reader like me. It’s very easy to use and often I get a discount coupon to purchase a new one.
The downside is that preview on app isn’t working which is disappointing… but I’m positive they’ll fix it on the next updates; plus the wishlist on app will only show limited saved books.
Those are the issues I’ve encountered. I’m looking forward for the next updates.
Not bad
App is a little slow. Since I'm reading a book with pictures, I can't read the small text cause there's no zoom in option. If you try to enlarge the screen, the text on the other pages just get bigger but not the photos.

Its much more advanced than pdf but quite lagish and complicate which makes it quite irritating
Though the rakuten kobo app is professional, it even has logistics in your readings, it becomes lagish and makes errors from time to time which is irritating. Also the features and ways of using reading the book is quite complicated I get confused and make wrong taps, maybe i’m dumb but honestly its a lot easier and simple to use pdf which is why I prefer it.
