Convenient

As far as I can tell, all of these stories are already available (and free) on Project Gutenberg through the Stanza app. Still with this collection you save yourself the hassle of picking & choosing. Plus the stories are always available whether you're online or not. So a pretty good deal. My one request would be that they index the stories by more than just author names.
Hmm...

1. Needs search function 2. Needs page numbers 3. Alphabetize title or author (option). I already have Wattpad, and I'm accustomed to seeing page numbers so I know where I am in the book. Search? There should be a search so we can...um...search. Option to index according to author or title.
Reasonable reader, doubleplusgood content
Easy Being
The reader is just OK but the sheer amount of short story content is delicious. Some authors presented are TERRIBLE and how they got included is beyond me.
