Application_Google Play Books 1.First Impressions? -Beautiful interface. -Great 3D effect of the bookshelf and shadows dropped under each book in the library. -Animations and transitions are smooth and fast. -Text is crisp and legible. 2.Was the interface Responsive? Navigating through Google Play Books is fast and smooth and easy to navigate through ; changing the settings for the book your reading is simple and pleasurable to be able to do it without leaving the book your reading and you also get to preview the changes you make as they happen. 3.Is the site trustworthy? Is it accurate? Content up to date? Any Technical Bugs? The app feels very trustworthy - its branded Google Play Books which gives it credibility; Even making purchases on the device your on feels secure and is easy and simple through the Play Store. The only bugs and inconsistencies that I found was the book covers were not full screen and the text alignment looked completely off compared to an original printed copy of the book I was reading (This could be an experience across all eBook readers though.) Also when you are reading the book under ‘Original Pages’ view it takes slightly longer to load the page (as the book is stored in the cloud) which, when sometimes the book has a blank page between chapters or at the beginning after the contents page it goes blank which can sometimes be misguiding and makes you think you may have missed an unloaded pages. 4.Was it a pleasurable experience interacting with the system? If not describe your experience. The experience was extremely pleasurable, the fluidity of the application, crispness and high resolution interface gives value to the experience. My only problem was that the low resolution book covers ruins the experiences making the books feel cheap not worth the money that you would play for one. Another issue I had was that if I was unfamiliar with the Android OS I would have found it hard locating the menu to change the theme colour, font size/alignment/ line height etc. is hidden once you begin to read a book. Also a really great feature that really only applies to using the app on a tablet device, is that you can select ‘Original Pages’ view which displays the original layout of the printed book on your device; even the front cover is HD and fits the screen. The only problem is that this is a feature I stumbled across whilst exploring the applications interface, and also does not apply to all books on the Play Store which is a shame.
