About this app

Welcome to Glassboxx: hassle-free eBook and audiobook access, all in one place.

Glassboxx cuts through all digital content ‘authentication’ issues, consolidating your eBook AND audiobook purchases made through affiliated stores, within an eminently user-friendly, secure environment.

No password required – simply log in with the email address used to buy the book and enter the verification code sent to your email – and your content awaits in the ‘My Books’ area of the app, with formats clearly labelled. With the content in the cloud, downloading requires an initial internet connection, but once downloaded, your books can be enjoyed to your heart’s content in the remotest, furthest-flung corners of the earth, where internet penetration is a mere pipe-dream…

THE AUDIO-PLAYER WILL:

• Auto-save your current position in the book – so that you can pick up right where you left off, even if listening on different devices
• Allow for skip forward/backward to recap where relevant
• Offer sleep timer option
• Play on lock-screen, enabling easy access to playback controls
• Play in background whilst browsing other apps
• Play immediately, and download in the background (provided internet access is available)

THE EREADER ALLOWS FOR:

• Page book-marking, opening the title at the right place when you pick up, even across multiple devices
• Font-size and font face changes, as well as dyslexic-friendly font
• Background colour changes
• Full text search

Welcome to the Glassboxx (not Glassbox) community!

This updated App doesn't fully download my audio book, just the books short introduction track, then a download error message appears, so i can only give it one star, thankfully i can play the full audiobook from the Glassboxx website instead. Customer Service suggested it might be due to a slow/ poor unstable internet connection. I have a superfast stable home broadband connection.

If you have poor cell signal it can really inhibit the app from downloading a book properly. It said that it was finished downloading but then it still had a problem loading the book and would hang there constantly. I had to get home onto WiFi to get it unstuck so it's not yet that optimised for mobile compared to many other apps like podcast, Spotify etc which don't seem to get stuck in the same fail loop when out and about.

I didn't expect to only be able to read the e-book version on my mobile, so very disappointed with that. I sent two tweets to Unbound asking how I could read in kindle format but received no response at all, which is just rude. I'm doubly annoyed as I've pledged to the third book already and can't cancel their order now I've found out the format is basically unreadable. The app itself is very basic. Not even remotely impressed.

Hello Raven - Kindle is not compatible with our eBooks. If you do have questions re the app our customer services team at help@glassboxx.com are quick to answer. There are lots of features on the eReader for EPUBS, slightly less for PDFs but still anything but a basic eReader. Talk to us at help@glassboxx.com!
