Simply inexcusable.

I also experienced the same problem as other reviewers. It appears that version 2.4 does not have the "new book" option, but that version 2.4s only accompanying documentation is for an earlier version (one that had the felature). For a new user like me, this was absolutely frustrating, as I wasted a lot of my time searching for the "new book metal plate" and tried tapping and swiping all over the app. It is SIMPLY INEXCUSABLE for the app to have been released with such a wild goose chase in the documentation.

The other reviewer who says all the negative reviewers are incompetent is missing the point. After some investigation, yes, I was able to surmise that I can probably use my desktop machine to fetch texts from Gutenberg, and use iTunes to deposit them into my iPad so that vBookz can read them. (I havent verified that this works.) It is ludicrous that that reviewer would think a user that doesnt go to the lengths I did is incompetent. It is the company that screwed up the documentation that is incompetent, and I strongly suspect that reviewer is a shill for that company.

All that aside, the apps text to speech technology is barely adequate. It may well represent the state of the art (I really cant judge that), but anyone expecting it to sound at all natural will be very disappointed.

Having contacted the company, I have been offered a refund. I will gratefully accept that offer.
