  • Free book on signup
  • No subscription needed

What held it back

  • Limited catalogue
  • Basic apps
  • Cluttered store

How it felt to use

Weekly sales here can undercut every subscription on a per-title basis, and the free signup book is a real one rather than a sample.

The catalogue skips a lot of literary and translated work, and the apps are the most basic of the twelve services we track.

Fine as a second shop for bestsellers, weak as your only one.

Our verdict

Useful for a cheap bestseller, not a primary library.
