While making a booking on hotels.com today I received an offer for a free S&S ebook from glose.com. I decided to go ahead and take advantage of it, and made a new account. What a joke... a few minutes into it and it's already unsusable... I don't expect their service to be around for long, and definitely won't spend any money there (especially since they don't support eInk devices).

The website has a horrible reading experience... the iOS app takes forever to load some pages (it seems to load each page as you go), and the formatting is horrible with headings not fitting the screen... every single paragraph has annotations, which seem completely pointless and distracting (you can turn them off)... when you select a paragraph it vibrates the phone, with no apparent way to turn that off... and just selecting the paragraph seems to create an annotation, whether you meant to or not (probably explaining why seemingly stupid things are annotated by other people)...

What a mess!


Edit: More... some GUI elements on the main screen go off the edge.... no tap to turn pages, only swipe... ugh...
