## Perlego Reviews
  ### 1. Cost effective solution for reading many text books a year

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angel Y. | Management Consultant, Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Perlego?**

To have the possibility to access and read tons of books for a single yearly tariff. As a freelance consultant and post-grade course instructor, I need to be updated and be able to revisit texts (also the new editions if they existed). Just for the cost of purchasing a couple of them (in some cases with that money you can afford even just only one...).

**What do you dislike about Perlego?**

I came to prefer reading e-books compared to paper ones, and also got accustomed to the advantages of them: synchronizing where you left reading among devices, dictionary/word translation, etc., adjusting fonts, etc. Perlego has some functionalities and lacks others, and the basic ones which are present, are too basic or could be improved.
Addition: I came again to edit the review (after updating my tablet). Previous rate: 8. Edited rate: 5. Although I keep my initial review comments, I now add that the reading experience is not like with e-books. Reading with Kindle or epub readers, the text is there. With Perlego, becomes annoying to have to wait each time you open a book until the text appears (like old-time internet browsing with modems), page advancing is not smooth and many times I lost the page I was reading.

**What problems is Perlego solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As stated before, the main benefit is access to multiple sources. Compared to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, probably I was able to find more textbooks in Perlego. In both cases, very recent editions are not included. Reading experience is regular (advancing pages, waiting each time opening a book for the text to appear, etc.)
