Ebook Readers?

[mlauzon]

So, what is the best ebook reader for a tablet, one that will be able to display all ebook formats?

Don't know that there is a "universal" ebook reader. For .epub and .pdf I use Aldiko (there's a free version and premium version available). Here is a wiki page which has a nice chart laid out covering the various ebook reader apps for Android and which formats they support:

+1 on Aldiko. Been using it for over 2 years.

I came across that eReader & Wikipedia article before making my OP last night. Aldiko doesn't sound like what I want, however, I found Cool Reader:

Because CR is Open Souce, it's only a matter of time till it supports .djvu/.oeb/.pdf/.docx formats.

Nice find. I had never heard of Cool Reader before. I've also heard FB Reader mentioned a few times in another forum.

I found it initially in an article -- not the Wikipedia article -- about eReaders, so I tracked it down, was able to download the APK from the SourceForge page, because I don't have WiFi so I couldn't download it from the Play store.

I am liking it so far, but it has a learning curve, although I am just using the basics of it, don't see the point going into all the things it can do.

So, I've installed Aldiko, because I started having issues with Cool Reader, as it started taking longer to render pages after opening the app, plus I couldn't figure out how to import the eBooks and had to go through the file explorer everytime; something I didn't have to do with Aldiko.

I also had tried Cool Reader early on but then ended up switching to Aldiko and have been using it for the last several years.

 

[mlauzon]

Cool Reader needs more work, and they need to create a tutorial on how to use it effectively. So, I'll use Aldiko for now until something better comes along.

Another suggestion is Moon+ Reader (?). Saw this on another forum. Never tried it but may have to check it out.

 

[mlauzon]

Trying Moon+ Reader right now, haven't read anything in it yet, just opened it and got it to the same page of the book that I am reading with Aldiko, there are differences that I saw already.

I briefly looked at Aldiko awhile back and it looked good. Let us know what reader works best for you.
