If the list is still being updated, someone might want to add Komik to the comic reader section. I use it alongside the paid version of ComicRack and both are excellent readers.

I've discovered PocketBook reader recently https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....obreey.reader.
It is a good alternative to Aldiko,Montano and Coolreader. It supports PDF,EPUB,FB2,TXT,DjVu formats and it also supports Adobe DRM. |

Hi guys,
I had an Sony Reader PRS-300, Sony PRS-900, Kobo Glo and tested Kindles 1 and 2. But chose Samsung Note 10.1 because I have a lot of PDFs and wanted a larger screen with a pen, I did not like even an eight inches screen withe better resolution. I want an app that can read PDF and EPUB, be possible to highlight and export it to a file. Another thing is the possibility to use my Spen to draw and export. I am still on my quest and wanted to share some thoughts and exchange experiences. This past week I tested over 60 apps, almost all of "Google Play". Well, I found some interesting apps: FREE : -Laban PDF Reader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...labanpdfreader You only can: 1- select the text and do line through or copy to the clipboard; 2- Change the view: landscape or portrait; 3- One linking option that I didn't figure it out; 4- Search for a word; 5- Choose the page. This one is very fast and smooth but lacks a lot of features. -Laban Book Reader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...abanbookreader It is a nice app that opens .epub, .prc, .mobi. I did not explored because I could not figure out how to change to english. -EbookDroid is very nice, fast. Can highlight, draw but only exports a png as epub. -PocketBook Reader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....obreey.reader Beautiful layout, one of the best. Exports to xhtml with the highlighted used (4 options). I miss is the draw function and another dictionary because it only work with the paid Abby, if it had those options, it would be a no-brainer. The paid ones: -Mantano: I could not test the highlight and how it exports. -Aldiko: It has a nice layout, is fast, but it was not possible to test the highlight and how it exports. -Moon+ Reader: I liked it but it should have a trial version, I do not know how it works with PDF and how is the draw and export features. -The EzPDF Reader: Very nice, has the draw function but only exports as a .xfdf file. But only works with Pdf as expected. Since I did not buy a paid app, my two choices are EbookDroid and PocketBook Reader. Can someone indicate some review or video showing the highlight and export features of the paid ones? Thanks. |

I downloaded and tried FBReader, EBook Reader, Aldiko, Moon+ Reader, and Cool Reader. All of them were good, but Cool Reader is far and away the best for my purposes, which is reading books on my tablet that are stored on an SD card. It is the most customizable and the easiest to download.

Thanks for the heads up. PocketBook is really nice. Ebookdroid is in line with the others I have tried.

I read all the Kindle books on my Kindle app and all the Sony books on the Sony app. Not real impressed with the Kobo app and have been spoiled by the ereader software on my Palm. Once Sony folds, I will be reading any non-Kindle books on one of the a fore mentioned ereader apps.

The link goes to a site that has the current download of an .apk file that your Android device should be able to verify and install. Just connect your device to your PC and copy the .apk file onto the device. Then when you select the .apk file in your device's file browser you will be given the option to select to verify and install the program. There are many programs that are available outside the Google Play Store.
