Gave Up Trying to Download an Existing Library
I have over 3000 epub books and have spent four hours trying to figure out how to do it. $9 wasted. MapleRead - make this process easier.

The one and only!
First, let it be known, this is only my second review on the App Store in the past 20 years. In that period of time I have ventured to find an epub reader that would provide maximum utility, ease of library management and a user interface that is both pleasing to the eye and intuitively formatted. I have struggled over the years to manage my rather large e-book library, now exceeding 10,000 books. As you can imagine, the size of the library has posed many problems in the traditional Apple Books ((formally iBooks) application, which requires iCloud storage for there to be full and potentially ready Accessibility to books as required across devices. Unfortunately, iCloud has a notorious habit of, offloading books from the device to the cloud significantly encumbering accessibility to books as may be needed. Whether it be the extremely efficient library management, particularly of such a large volume of books, it’s ease, importation and exportation of books, the tailoring to personal needs as it relates to user interface (the ability to alter the size of the image or text when viewing the library, in list or grid mode, means to access meta data, change e-book covers, adjust title or author or series as needed), multiple options for customizing the organization of the library (by author, by title, date added/read/modified, series, and tags for grouping by topic or relevancy) or the reading experience (adjusting, text size, text in paragraph spacing, page look and feel/animation) [to name just a few] together with the developers ongoing and regular attention to an effort to maintain this application at the cutting edge of the e-book reading experience, there is nothing that holds a candle to this application anywhere, for any device, at any time past or present! Not withstanding all of my praise and merits of this application, two small tweaks to its interface and E pub reader would seal the deal: the option to “highlight” text with underlining as is offered in some other E pub readers, and a larger size size to the book covers viewable in the various collections and main interface. That being said, subsequent to my composing this review just over 30 days ago, the ability to change the scene when viewing Books in the various collections individually or collectively, no longer works, unless the viewing mode is switched to dark. I would hope product support and developers would look into this ongoing and disturbing irregularity as of late.
