George Kolasa (ID: 000000a081804ded) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/04/2018 Good app. Would love it even more if the font size was a bit bigger. It's tiny on my screen which is a normal 1920x1080 res. Maybe an option to increase the font size?

Marcus Aurelius Higgs (ID: 000000f1512e04b8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2017 Thanks and I love the extension. One thing, can the 'read more' button be a little bit less obtrusive. It takes away from the experience and I already have many of the books that are quoted. Maybe the opacity be dropped, or there's a one time payment to remove the button.
