It's not how it was laid out. It is about the actual coding. It's awful. Without editing it, you cannot change the font size. I doubt you could change the font and maybe not even use night mode in some apps. It's just really bad. Phoenix Picks needs to hire new employees who actually know how to make a proper eBook.

The latest free eBook from Phoenix Pick is awful. Not better. Not by long shot.
