Great, but could do with a few more functions. This app is a great way to keep all of your go books together in one place, and it also is ideal for acquiring new books especially if you live far from a place that sells go books.
I would like to see the following functions implemented though...
1. In book navigation; a simple scroll bar or jump-to-page/chapter function would be much better for navigation than having to swipe through all the pages every time.
2. Being able to organize books in the app and in the store by set would help customers to keep complete sets of books together.
3. This isn't a function, but some book sets are missing from the store; Elementary Go Series vols. 1 and 2 for example. It would be nice to be able to buy books in a set and not have gaps in the set.
