BookShelves eBook Reader

This app does a nice job of offering public domain books to read with a decent choice of fonts and formatting with more theme options when upgraded to the Pro level. The free version limits you to 10 books. Unfortunately, there are no functions provided to work with multiple books at a time on iPad, whether adding them to user defined bookshelves or deleting. For me at least, the ability to select multiple books for management operations such as categorizing or deleting books is an essential feature. I upgraded to Pro and added a bunch of the public domain books before noticing this functionality omission when I set out to organize them. Disappointing. I hope someday the developers will add this ability to the app. In the meantime, the hunt continues…

I’ve been using BookShelves for a while now and honestly it's one of those apps that just does what it says it does, really well. My ebook collection is finally actually organized and easy to browse. The design looks great and feels clean. Nothing cluttered or confusing, everything is where you'd expect it to be. I mostly use it to organize my ebooks and it handles that perfectly. No complaints there at all. Also really excited for some of the upcoming features. Feels like the app is just going to keep getting better.

I really love this app’s clean and intuitive interface, as well as OPDS integration. A couple things that I think would make it perfect: 1. More style and layout options for the reader (paragraph margin, word and character spacing, 2-panel layout on iPad & Mac, etc.). 2. Support series metadata (So if I import 2 books in a series from Standard Ebooks or Calibre, for example, they can be grouped together).
