「Yes! Two columns!」 - NOOK の口コミ・レビュー

Update: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Two columns in landscape mode. All is right with the iPad world.

The app works fine, but I was hoping for sure that this new customizable version would finally give me the choice to read all of my books in a two column format. After all, the book in the graphic (Water For Elephants) is displayed that way. But, no, it still depends on each particular book whether or not you can read it in columns. (If someone can point out to me that I'm wrong, I will gladly retract this review.) So far, I have one Nook book in my collection that is formatted for columns. It's just plain awkward for many people to read normal sized print in lines the length of the screen, even in portrait mode. Don't the developers of this app read themselves? How many book have you ever owned that are setup to be read in such wide paragraphs? Maybe kids who have grown up on the Internet are perfectly comfortable reading that way, but I would like a choice. Even big glossy magazines are printed in multiple columns when they could get more words on a page in one column. I would love to get some use out of this app. It would be so easy to ask for BN gift cards for Christmas, as you can get them anywhere, but I don't and I won't until they make their app readable to those of us who grew up on paperback books. Until then, I will continue to use my Kindle, Google Books, and iBooks apps. Sorry, BN. I would love to be able to give you my business.
