Great place to get e-books during quarantine!
Since I can't go out to the library and buy books, due to the situation that is happening. This is really good place to read and get your books! They only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't has dark mode on my Mac. I looked on the view option but it won't let me I am not sure why this happens, but overall it is amazing.
Thank you for your feedback
