Scrolling does not work well while reading the stories. I have to try a few times before it responds. It is kind of annoying otherwise the stories are great.

problem in scrolling
The BEST of the short story collection apps
I buy every short story collection app I can find, and I love this one above all. The stories are carefully chosen -- not just everything and anything with an expired copyright that can be found. And the interface is wonderful, facile, easy to read. As with the story choice, everything seems to have been thought about carefully: the layout, the typeface.
Great Story Collection
Extremely high quality short story collection that is very easy to read. Highly recommended!
Good collection, very basic reader
It is in fact a good collection, with a few stories everyone read in high school from Poe, but a good collection of AC Doyle adventures that I am unfamiliar with, but may make entertaining reading. My main impression is that the formating of the text is good, with a good bookmark functionality, but a very basic reader interface without any of the niceties like paging aids. To read, you drag the text rather than the usual tapping screen sides, top or bottom to move to the next body of text. That wears on me, but Ill probably read a few books in the collection anyway.
Re: No page by page
Ive just started using this app- great list of stories but text is one long file in which you scroll to new text by dragging top to bottom. Every time you finish a page and scroll up you have to determine which line you last read as it will probably not be the one at the top of the page. This requirement is very distracting when youre trying to read through quickly. This app needs to incorporate the finger swipe page turning feature. This turns short stories into not so short reads.
Crashes on ipad2
Thought it was just a book. Turns out its an app which crashes. A lot. My bad. Caveat emptor
Bookmark function is terrible
This app has a bookmark function which allows you to resume reading where you left off. Its terrible for the following reasons: It doesnt work. When one presses bookmark this page, it wont actually bookmark the page but the screen will return to the book as if it had. The link one presses to bookmark this page is far too close to view current bookmarks, which him to either click on the wrong link or not be able to press the proper link. The app also crashes and turns off frequently. Im certain its the app and not my phone because its a brand new phone. The literature is quite good, but the functionally of the app is poor. I usually dont pay for apps, so when I pay $2 for an app, I expect it to work better than a free app. This one does not.
