Strength
- sign in screen
shows a selection of
free ebooks (enticing)
right away showing
content selection
- allows for offline
downloads
- immediately gives
you a $5 credit to
their store*
- free ebooks
separate from store
and easily found
- detailed statistics
page for your
reading
habit/process of
completed books
and in progress
books
Weakness
* starts autoloading
and there is no option
to stop download -could ensue charges
if not on wifi
- complaints of push
notification scam ie
targeted ads on their
homescreens
- second screen tries
to sell you their
kindle unlimited
package
- no not interested
rating for queue
- home page just
* only usable on
books $5.01<
- very slow sign up
process - 1 min +
- very slow load
times in general
- no ratings queue to
start off with recos
right away - must
build library to receive
recos
- free ebooks all
garbage, no known
authors
- no sorting
options/advance
Opportunity
- have a random
generator for recos
rather than only
genre sorting
- compatitbility
rating shows how
many
novels/authors/etc
you and another user
have in common -good way to know if
you should browse
through their most
recent reads
- adding not
- no social aspect
interested as a rating - this app is very
option
uninspiring
- even with no books
catalogued or added,
show a selection so
the app doesnt seem
empty ex
commonly shared
or commonly
searched
Threat
- have a barcode
scanner
- very intergrated with
Amazon, can
purchase through GR
app and send to
kindle or have it
delivered to your
house (built in
browser brings you to
amazon)
- its Amazon
- with Prime you can
borrow books so it
becomes your own
personal library
- not really
Ease of Access
1-10 rating (10 high)
7 (almost 11 sec
initial load time)
-rating causes
of Use
and it clunky
autoloads more
books similar to the
one you just rated;
however this can
include books already
in the rating queue
Visually pleasing,
very little
unnecessary
dialogue
-major features right
on top (updates, my
books, scan)
-seemingly no redo: if
mistakenly ex out of
book page the author
does not immediately
jump back to the top
of the search
Misspelling a
common author
name does not bring
up the author (ex
dam brown); back
button (on phone)
brings me all the way
back to the home
page instead of a
blank search prompt
