It’s not perfect, but it’s more than good enough, especially as a mobile companion forCalibre.

I had to retry granting Dropbox access three or four times, but eventually I got it to work.

This is fairly similar to most Android eBook readers, such asMoon+.

And just like Moon+, Fabrik lets you use your gadget’s volume buttons to flip pages.

That last feature was terrible on my Sony Xperia Z runningPAC ROM.

There are no controls for the reading speed or voice, either.

Sync is not just for loading new book, but also for keeping the same position across devices.
