So disappointed and annoyed. I try every way possible to sync my Google books with Pocketbook and this app easy suppose to be the answer. I still get notifications that I can open the book on my pocketbook due to copyright issues and refers me back to Adobe - even with my digital editions (another app) I now have two USELESS Pocketbooks for my family that we cant use.

From Google, you can only download books, but if they are protected with Adobe DRM, you need to have the necessary Adobe ID activated (the one with which you've opened this book before) in our app to open it. Please contact us at [email protected], including a description of the issue along with your device models and cloud account email.

I adore the cloud feature to sync reading progress with my Pocketbook HD3! My only complaint is that syncing doesn't always work if I have a book opened in the app and then keep the app open in the background and continue reading on my ereader, the progress I've made on the ereader doesn't sync in the app. It only works if I close the book in the app, before I continue on my ereader. If this is fixed this app is definitely worth 5 stars!

Hi! This is the correct behavior of the application (at the moment, you need to close the book or application in order to synchronize). Thanks for taking the time to write!

I'm giving this app one star for the following reason: It is advertised that with Pocketbook it would be easy to integrate the books you already have from Google or other services. However every time I try to connect my Google Books account to this app it tells me that Google blocks the attempt because it doesn't trust the app. I was looking into getting a Pocketbook eReader but wanted to try this out first to see if it works and I'm glad I did because I would have been super disappointed if I had gotten the Pocketbook eReader only for this function that made it stand out to me not to work.
