I agree that since they became Learning Ally accessibility became an issue. Seems like the website is not stable if that's even conceivable. Sometime i hit on a button such as close dictionary and it never works. I did get to the opening page which allowed me to get to my profile which then allowed me to read a book story by story. So in this case no the structure on these collections of the best American short stories is never the issue I had to close the app in order to get it to come up that first opening page or I could then get two other books I might want to read. I find this app completely non-intuitive. I don't know why they have to make it not work. Even the old old Learning Ally beats the new Learning Ally. I've called them numerous times over the years but things don't seem to get much better. It's a shame because their book selection in certain areas offers things that barred doesn't.
