If you already have a deep eReader library, this app might be more attractive to you. So the only books guaranteed to open through eReader’s app are the ones bought through the titular site, rather than through Barnes and Noble.
#DELICIOUS LIBRARY WORKS WITH CALIBRE FOR ANDROID#
However, the version for Android is for, so it can only read PDB books (not ePUBs like its Barnes and Noble cousin). Barnes and Noble, who bought eReader/Fictionwise last year, have been calling their BRANDED reader for smartphones an “eReader”. For starters, eReader’s very name has become muddled. It’s the granddaddy of ebook readers on mobile devices, but latel,y it has been showing its age. If or when Kobo updates the application, I will have a follow-up review revisiting the experience. But in its current incarnatio,n it is badly flawed. I’d like for this to improve, since Kobo runs an excellent eBookstore, and is the only mainstream store available other than eReader for Android. There’s also a dearth of settings options, and you’re stuck with a nastily bright white background. So don’t settle in for a plane ride or head to a poor signal area and expect to be reading your books. All the reading you do is actually through the internet the app is just a nice wrapper around Kobo’s web reading options. And if that’s not enough to turn you off to it, books aren’t actually downloaded to your device. The app works great in that you can read your Kobo books on it, but you can’t bookmark specific pages, just broad chapters.
Until then, unless you really love Kobo’s offerings, I don’t recommend this app.

Currently, Kobo plans to update it with new branding and features in the next few months. I have not yet tested the Calibre integration, though I plan to cover it when I do an overview of Calibre (look for it in the next few weeks!). The user interface isn’t spectacular, but from a pure reading perspective it is fast, customizable and works quite well. The app also offers background color changes, font changes, orientation and navigation options. Wordplayer gives you the opportunity to add books via your SD card, through an in-app gateway to Feedbooks and Smashwords, or wirelessly from your Calibre library. This is an interesting reader program, especially if you use Calibre.
It is very barebones, but does include a night/day mode, so you don’t light up the room reading late at night. Currently it can only read non DRM’d ePUB and a few minor formats, though there are intentions to add more in the future. This is a clone of the long-standing ebook reader for Windows, Linux, and various tablet devices.

Note: For any apps available through the Android Market, I’ve included the QR codes if they are direct downloads I just linked to the download website. We’ve got quite a bit to cover, so let’s get started! I’ll be looking at Aldiko, FBReader, Wordplayer, Shortcovers, eReader and Ibis Reader. There are several ePUB readers, and several apps use the same or overlapping sources for the books you can download in-app, so I’m looking to focus on the features each application brings to the reading experience. So you bought a shiny new Android phone or tablet, and now it’s on to the important stuff: How can you read your books on it? Admittedly, there aren’t the same number of ebook options for Android as there are for the iPhone, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a decent selection of options! Rather than review each one individually, I thought it might be best to do a roundup/quick overview of the major readers available.
