I checked it out a couple weeks ago and wasn't really happy with it. The UI is all kinds of weird in comparison to other apps, and their whole claim to fame of "getting rid of pages" is what every ebook reader does -- there aren't pages in ebooks. In fact it seems kind of lazy to me, since it's easy to render HTML in one long, scrolling "page". It's much harder to handle page breaks, widows and orphans (not that any other ebook reader does that), etc.

I guess if you prefer to scroll up and down smoothly rather than "page" through a book, this reader would be decent. For me, there are so many better readers out there that this app was a waste of bandwidth to download.
