This has been default book reading app since 2013. Is one of the best e-readers that I found page animation. Also for people who are having trouble comic books archived with zip change the file extension from ".zip" to ".cbz" ("CBZ" which means "Comic Book Zip" and "CBR" which means "Comic Book RAR" files are the most common extension use for comic book scans). The issue of files with ".zip" becoming corrupt happened to me on my old iPhone 5.

I really love this app I thank you so much for making it! I have but one inquiry for some reason recently whenever I try to add a zip file manga it shows up as a damaged file. In the past I had no trouble creating zip files and then viewing them here so maybe something with the update? Otherwise I really love the app 🥰. Also is there any way you can add a feature to edit and draw on files? Like highlight and underline and stuff maybe 😁

The more I use ,the more I like. I found a easier way to add pdf to sidebook is after downloading a PDF,click open, then choose sidebook app. Then it's automatically added. Otherwise need to manually add each pdf using a file manager app. Place pdf in correct location for sidebook to recognize.Otherwise, I like the page effects, also can trim pages to fit better, draw or underline words, bookmark a page,switch magazine quick.etc. great app 👍

What's new

From ver2.8.20, the use of "access all files" permission for the SideBooks app has been prohibited by a notification from Google Play.
As a result, if you change the home folder of your local bookshelf to your own folder, you may experience problems such as a significant decrease in operating speed or the inability to open some files.
If a problem occurs, please use the home folder as the default folder during installation.
