Android devices are now coming up in 7inch and 10inch screen formats that are attracting lots of book lovers, with dictionary apps that compliment the ebook readers, most people today are prefering ebooks over regular books.. With bigger screen and storage capacity you can carry many eBooks with you and read them while on move. There are lots of eBook readers available for Android and I have tried at least a dozen of them on my Samsung Galaxy Note. I have selected the top 5 apps that I liked to feature in this article.
Aldiko: This is one of the most famous eBook readers on Android Market. It is powerful and futuristic app for eBook reading and downloading. Aldiko has a big library with many free eBooks; you can also import your pre-created pdf or epub files. You can customize the fonts, color, margin, night mode etc for better reading experience and comfortably. The only thing I would like to see is a cloud support that will allow syncing ebooks across my Tablets and phones, even a online web based reader will be appreciated.
Booki.sh: I was really impressed with the design and implementation of this advanced web based eBook reader. Designed with latest HTML5 technology that makes this web app fast and secure. It has cool looks, just need to visit Booki.sh using your Android or any other browser. You can choose the eBook to download and available for reading offline. The offline reading is also very different, once offline you will need to go to Booki.sh and it will work like you were online.
Kindle for Android: Kindle is a well known eBook reader available for Android as well. You will also get the Amazon ebook store support which has millions of books. I liked Kindle but it looks very basic when compared to Aldiko and Booki.sh. It does not allow syncing the reading position across the device, the app does not sync to any other device, Amazon monitors your reading habits.
Google Books: Google Books apps for Android are handy and you will love the features and flexibility of cloud storage. This app and Google Books store has very competitive features with Amazon Kindle app. You can purchase or read free books with reading interface customizations. The only this you will miss that it do not support books purchased from other stores.
Kobo reader: Kobo reader is a free eBook reader app for Android; I discovered it lately and was impressed with the features and functionality it provides. It can also automatically sync library and bookmarks across different platforms. You can share notes and recommend eBooks to Facebook friends, Add books to library from email, web or Dropbox. Browser books on Kobo store customize reading experience, single sync account to multiple devices.
We would like to hear from you which app did you liked or apps that you are currently using to read and manage eBooks on Android.
