1. It apparently doesnt rememberI have not yet played around that much, but in my case the prompt concerning disk writing permissions didn't show up and it kept throwing an io error when trying to read books, I fixed it manually, but for people with little to no experience this could be a complete turnoff... Furthermore the integrated reader simply didn't work(stayed blank) in my case, so I had to use adobe DE as a reader.
2. - you can't use an external mp3 player, and the only way to use an external book reader is through some adobe related app, which only allows a certain amount of "activations" per account, which the adobe customer service is unwilling to fix.I use it for eAudio only and it worked fine, but now I cant download to the device anymore (your request could not be processed).
3. They just won't load -- playback freezes at the end of chapter from time to time Hope some of these get fixed in newer versions.3 stars: The idea for this app is great and the app has lots of potential but for the last few weeks I am told that Onleihe has stopped whenever I try to load books.
4. Here's why: -- playback controls stop working at random -- 30 sec rewind command sometimes takes you back to the very beginning of the book -- couldn't download certain books I borrowed.
5. Audiobooks that are played at 2x speed sound ok without too many artifacts of compression, but when an audiobook is divided into many chapters it is a little bit annoying that the last second of preceding chapter gets repeated.
6. The screen keeps turning off if I don't touch it so it's hard to read, I have to keep poking the page or set it to a huge font so I turn pages often which is really uncomfortable.
7. But the rest seems to work fineMinus 3 stars because: -Built in reader doesn't have translating option, which makes it bad for students.
8. I've loaned a book "German für Dummies", but not able read it because the pages don't stay on my screen.
9. (minor "problem" but annoying nonetheless)Not able to read the borrowed eBook.
10. Also when a title expired I wasn't done with and I lent it anew it didn't "refresh" but I had to delete the one on my phone, then download it again and had to search through it to find where to continue.
11. As far as reading and audiobooks go, it works flawlessly: pictures are correctly displayed and changing backgroudn color to black also is smooth.
