✓ Useful App...needs fine tuningGreat have an app to read EPUB books aloud. I would like to see the following functions/options implemented in future upgrades: -the ability to disable and enable sound effects, find the sound effects annoying -the ability to list books by title, etc & have a book search function. I have many books, and with nine books to one screen in the current setup, it takes a while to find a particular book -Book covers are not imported for some reason -Ability to import more books. 70 books is extremely limiting. Should be no limit especially as books cost money -I can never connect to the server, always receive a message stating network unavailable -the ability to change voice pitch etc Otherwise I am happy with the purchase.Version: 2.3
✓ Beautiful appGreat looking app! The presentation alone draws you in to reading these books. It can read books back to you, so it's great way to catch up on your reading during your commute..Version: 0
✓ AwesomeI love it!! I have read at least 10 books a month if not more since I bought this program I love it so much. My toddler will sit in my lap and watch my iPhone while it reads.. And my toddler will not sit still for anything. I also have to hold him to put him to sleep at night and he listens and falls asleep within minutes.Version: 2.7
✓ Vraiment génial!VBooks m'a sauvé la vie. Je suis camionneur. Je passe plus de 14 heures par jour à conduire, seul dans mon camion ce qui passablement ennuyant. Grace à ce logiciel incroyable, j'écoute en moyenne deux romans par jour. Un grand merci au concepteur..Version: 2.9
✓ VBookz is Just Plain Awesome!Okay, WoW! I agree with the other reviewer who said "That's what I'm talk-in about" This app is amazing. Worth every penny even if you just read a few books off this app, but I doubt that will happen there are many good books that are free, for all ages . Music plays while you choose your book of choice and then just let it read out loud which is great, or just read it simple and plain without the read out loud feature on, no matter what it's a awesome app :-).Version: 0
✓ Does what it's supposed to doI've had no problem having it read my own e-books. I don't know why other people were having so many issues, perhaps I'm just lucky. The voice synthesis is not as good as Siri, but I can't be bothered doing that silly select text trick to make her read through the accessibility menu. If there is a picture of a page or any artwork in the e-book then it will not read that part and the voiceover will stop. You'll have to start again manually on the next page. However the bookmarks function is quite handy and works well. Additional languages and voices are really overpriced, they cost as much as the app does. All in all it's what I wanted - an app to make my eBooks audiobooks for my daily commute..Version: 3.0
✓ Love this appI love this app. I like others here would also like to load my own ePub files. My problem I think is not this app but iTunes recognizing this app on my iTunes account which I'm sure is my own inexperience being I'm a new iPad user. I look forward to figuring this one out. Update..... I figured it out and love it even more now that I can load my own ebooks in this app.Version: 2.3
✓ The best!!!!!This rely helps people that have reading problems..Version: 2.3
✓ I love itIt uses pretty good TTS voices, they don't get everything perfect, but thats ok. I like that you can import from Dropbox, and so far I have had no problems importing my own books in ePub format. one bit of advice I will give, when you want to exit vBookz, press the button in the upper left to go back to your bookshelf so it put the bookmark back in to save your progress..Version: 2.6
✓ Worth itI'm on the go a lot and this app helps me to enjoy my reading addiction wherever I am. Once you get used to some of the strange ways the app reads some words it's just like any other book on CD. However, now I can have ANY book I like in audible form for way less than the Audible app..Version: 3.3
✓ Good appTo upload your own ebooks you need to connect your Idevice to your computer and open iTunes. There go to your device on the left hand side and select your device. On the top of the screen select apps and on the bottom where it says file sharing you can upload epubs. Works as advertised, all the other reviewers are incompetent..Version: 2.4
✓ Good but needing changesI really like this app. I have experimented with several book readers and none of them have the audio functionality this one offers. On top of that, it is a lovely app. Two things keep it from being five star. One, it cannot run in the background. Two, there is a page-turning sound that you cannot disable (along with other mildly irritating sounds.) if these two things were fixed, I would never bother with another app..Version: 2.3
✓ What did you expect?Great text-to-speech ePub reader. For those who do not like the automated voice, what did you think the computer voice would sound like? It's a computer!.Version: 2.4
✓ Awesome appGreat app - I bought the ipad and ipod specifically when I found out about this app. I love text to speech - it makes reading so much easier and this app does it really well and on a portable device as small as the ipod. Amazing. I can't wait for the new version that will support ePub format. Just need to figure how to remove the drm from ebooks I buy so I an read them on this app =D..Version: 0
✓ Still room for improvementIt's pretty good! Still not as visually pleasing as iBooks and kobo app (with the page turn animation), I'd like it if when your manually turning the page you didn't have to start from the corner. I'd also like to tap on the screen to make the controls and word highlight disappear. It would be great if the voice still talked if you go to the home screen or lock the device. If you make all the changes I've suggested and make a more authentic page turn animation you'll get a five star from me. On the the other hand I'll never get another audiobook!.Version: 2.2
✓ Sounds and looks great@T15360 & @Momof31976 ... I don't know what have you expected and if you know what is TTS is ... but I have been following TTS since it's birthplace in AT&T labs and later work done by France Telecom which had set about 10 years ago high standard for TTS such as the ones you hear when you call your Bank or airline. These companies run TTS Programs on quad-core machines and the voice is actually simulates real samples of syllables. You can't expect anything like that on the phone unless you use google service. The voices this app is using are Acapella, one of the best consumer available voices. IPhone processing power and battery has limitations. Thats's why maybe the quality is not ad good as if you run on a computer. The voices in this app are scaled down to 8 bit from 11? But they sound still OK. With regard to the app - it's very well designed. I wished there is integration with Dropbox, but that would probably be reduce sales of Ebooks. Overall- highly recommended app..Version: 2.7
✓ This book reading at is awesomeI love this app this app should be for anyone who likes books I can't really read all that well but I can't spell at all but this app rules I'm giving it five star and plus it's an awesome app just to kick back relax and listen to the story.Version: 2.7
✓ Best ebook reader everIt looks awesome and it sounds great. With more content I'd update it to 5 stars.Version: 0
✓ Beautifully done!This app looks even better than the original iBook app, plus it does a great text-to-speech and reads you your books out loud. This is great for adults, as well as for kids learning to read or for those learning a foreign language. I have not encountered any glitches with this latest version and the app has been working beautifully..Version: 0
✓ Love it!Great job, similar interface to iBooks but glass shelves. Looks sweet and it reads to you. Enhancements: give us a browsing feature by topic. How about the ability to enhance the book with a librovox recording instead of the computer voice? Worth the $5 just for the reading ability. Also love the way many of the titles have actual book covers, and the ones that don't have a generic cover..Version: 0
✓ FantasticGreat app well worth the money.Version: 3.5
✓ Good app for learning English reading fastThank to your great work .... I know it's hard to make app like this I also have your vbookz PDF reader and it's fantastic I hope that app get better and better Namaste.Version: 3.0
✓ Great for struggling readersThis app is great for people that struggle with reading or have dsylexia. The app magnifies the word being read so an individual can follow along with the audio. The web support personnel are very helpful in providing instruction for how to convert books (that are not available from vBooks) from different file types so that they will work with vBooks. I recommend this app to help students that struggle with reading to gain greater access to books..Version: 2.2
✓ Awesome app!It does everything I had hoped, makes my commute enjoyable... The only improvements I would like to see is place in book syncing across multiple devices... And if there was a way to upload to directly from the iBooks app this would be the best app ever! Very Good Job by the developer!.Version: 2.7
✓ The low reviews are wrong!!!This app is an electronic book reader... some of the low reviews i read looked seem like the people have Never owned the app or were trying to use it for a purpose it wasnt intended for.... i use calibre libarary management program and convert all my non-drm'd books to epub... then i simply drag them into the vbooks folder of itunes,, after syncing.... the app then reads those books to you... or you can read them on your own.... you control the speed and it has male and female voices (you have to download the male voice 50 meg its free but i prefer it) folks this is a fantastic app... those who compare it to 'stanza' are wrong i have stanza and yes it exposes my library to the internet with the calibre server but it doesnt read the book to you and you still have to download the book to read it... ibooks will read your book but it is very clunky and you have to change your phone's accessibility features and use different swipes and touches to get around in it.... this app is one of the best readers out there.... my kindle reader is only slightly better.... if you are looking to have a computer read your books in epub format this is the app for you....Version: 2.3
✓ Dyslexic breakthrough: Making the unreachable reachable.I am a 37 year old adult with mild dyslexia. The world of books always seemed like trying to climb a mountain whilst walking backwards with your eyes closed. Books can be bewildering if you find reading physically tiring and comprehension difficult. I love reading but I sometimes find it hard to remember and analyse each chapter in detail and in order. This can give teachers the impression that you are simply not trying or are being lazy. It is universally documented that many dyslexics have average to high IQ. This continual frustration can lead to poor self esteem, self worth and low academic expectations. Devices such as the Kindle and now this App on the ipad are truly the greatest gift to a dyslexic person. Although I can read fluently and clearly, listening to clear and precise passive speech whilst reading (multi sensory) really allows me to really comprehend and even enjoy books on a level that I didn't know was possible. I'd like to predict that devices such as this app will allow others and especially children with reading difficulties to enter and be inspired by the magical world of books. Hopefully I will be enjoying this until I have read everything - well almost everything! At last, I am free to climb any mountain I choose, I can take giant strides and see new horizons.

✓ Life Changing apps for all the familyProbably one of the most unique apps I've came across in a while. My kids and my wife love to read, listen and have fun with it. Great book selection and smooth text to speech engine. You must try it....Version: 0
✓ Good if you can get used to the voiceIt took me a long time to figure out how to import my own .epub files, but after reading the instructions on the vbookz site carefully, especially step 3 about app file sharing which I never knew about, it's a piece of cake and the web is full of free .epub books. The voices are definitely not great and it doesn't run in the background, but given that this is the only game in town, it's a must have application for people who need to/love to listen to books..Version: 2.3
✓ Solid appI really like this app for the simplicity and practicality . In my case was always stable w minimum crashes. So it's not the magic that is very convenient way to get a review on any book.Version: 3.5
✓ Easy to understandI am a truck driver audio books are all I do. This is great. Easy to deal with while driving. Easy to understand. Wish I had this years ago. Wish I could import my existing library. Better search ability of the app library would be nice..Version: 0
✓ Like it... but...Although I like this app, I would love to see a PDF Voice Reader version of this app or the ability to have PDFs read out loud within this application, but for the iPad. I bought your Mac version of PDV Voice Reader and would most definitely purchase an iPad version of the app. Thanks, J, Los Angeles.Version: 2.3
✓ Good app for schoolThis app helps you learn to read. It is great app for like studing for a test and project. On vBookz you can download free books. vBookz can also read to you but it's your option. You will find it will make it so much easier to read books when you use vBookz. Comment from Grade 6 student.Version: 2.3
✓ Endlessly impressive-foreign language use tooWhat this program is advertised to do it does perfectly and beautifully. I use it primarily to read books in Polish to me. Now that it has the ability to import ePubs, I can create ePubs with just the Polish phrases I want to study and hear them pronounced to me, the box surrounding the word moving along with the voice. What a help this is for the challenge of learning a new language! The developers are quick to reply to questions. Thanks!.Version: 0
