A few worries about this...

1- What formats does it support?
2- Privacy settings?
3- Support for other eBook stores?
4- DRM on bought eBooks?

I know it's not up to you, and certainly NOT your fault, but this is the kind of apps that polluted Windows, and are now trying to do it to Linux.

Looks great, it may work really well, if you are willing to cope with the facts that the books you bought can never be read anywhere but on their app, and, they don't allow competition.

I have MILLIONS of eBooks. On almost every format, doc, rtf, html, pdf, lit, txt, epub, etc..... I haven't found anything able to read all of them, neither in Windows, nor in Linux. This one certainly isn't.

So I thank you, but, sorry, this I will NOT install.
