This looks really good. I'm not reading anything epub length on my phone but if I were, I'd give this a shot. Big thumbs up for a great product page as well. So many people screw this up. Two problems I noticed with the website:

- No way to see the price of the app without clicking on the App Store button. Maybe this was intentional?

- "Personalize your reading experience" part has three different screenshots showing three different styles. White on black and black on white styles show the same part of the book while white on blue (is that the name of that color?) shows a different part. No one will probably notice that, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to point out.

Any plans to make a Mac version?

Hello dombili!

Thanks for the feedback. :)

- App price not on site: Not quite intentional, no. I plan on changing that.

- Screenshot inconsistency: Hmm. Oh - actually, that is the same part of the book, roughly, I believe the paragraph margins changed, however. Something to fix.

- Mac version: Yes, actually. Right now I'm stabilizing Hyphen, but once I've done that and implemented Syncing, there will likely be a Mac version.

My pleasure! Great to hear that Mac version is a possibility. Is following you on twitter the best way to get notified about that?

Good luck with the app, I hope it does well.

I would call that "slate".
