We just created a beta version of a book reading app for Nigerians called okadabooks.com. It features lots of free books (over 120 to be precise) and great Nigerian books from publishers such as Farafina. I am trying to get feedback from those with Android phones on how the app performs and if the idea will even gel in Nigeria. And before I forget the app is free...At the end of the day we are basically trying to see if we can get Nigerians reading on their mobile phones the app can be downloaded at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okadabooks Any any feedback is appreciated. Especially the negative ones, we really want to improve the app. 1 Like |

Nice concept. One should be able to change the colour of the fonts though, and more fonts should be included. Please how do I contact you? |

matrixme: Nice concept. One should be able to change the colour of the fonts though, and more fonts should be included. Please how do I contact you? gotcha...we would definitely look into doing that. We are trying to address critical issues before the non-critical ones, due to cost. |

The app is cool, you can add some of these features; >>each book should have a review(like two paragraphs), so readers can know a little about what they are purchasing >>Readers' ratings should be enabled >>bookmarking and note making(referencing) features should be added >>enable comments(users' reviews) on the "download page". >>.... 2 Likes |
