Anyone know of a good ebook reader for android? Would like one I can load files off the sdcard.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.android.aldiko
FBReaderJ
http://www.fbreader.org/FBReaderJ/
http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android
- Open source
- Many text rendering options
- Open source
- Will have feedbooks integration in next major version (already provides .epub handling intent for opening epubs straight from browser)
- Did I mention it's open source?
i use docs to go, and just convert any books i find into the doc format...sucks sometimes if files are to big but, free is free
(assuming download torrents for everything)
All of my ebooks are in PDF format - there was only one app I was able to find to read them with a decent interface and no internet support necessary.
RepliGo Reader - bookmark support, reading mode, fast, reads SDCard, etc. Good stuff. WELL worth the $8. I would never pay that much for an app - but I have gotten that $8 back over and over through use. Good investment.
I second FBReaderJ - it's being actively developed, is easy to use, free, and supports epub - which is what all the ebook readers are standardising on atm.
If you have an extensive .lit ebook collection like me *cough* then you can use lit2epub on ubuntu/debian to convert your entire ebook collection over to epub.
Highly recommended!
I'll third fbreaderj. I have been using it on my ADP1 for the last 6 months. Throughout its development it has been actively supported and the number of supported formats have grown. The developer frequents a google groups forum, as well as using other ways of reporting bugs/feature requests.
Currently supported formats:
.epub
.oeb
.fb2
.mobi
If your books are in a different format, I suggest using calibre to convert. Works great!(http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download)
Thanks for all the suggestions, FBReaderJ def. seems like the best one out there right now. And thanks ex-Min for suggesting calibre, works great.
if you know were to look you can get repligo reader for free

I find these settings work nicely:
In Settings:
Check all the options under Scrolling
In Settings (Old):
Under Format, change Alignment to Left
Under Styles, change Family to Serif and Size to 22.
I've read a considerable number of books with these settings on FBReaderJ.
---
For getting books onto the G1, I generally use one of two methods. If i'm on the go, i'll search and grab it directly from feedbooks.mobi site. If i'm in front of my computers, i'll navigate to the specific book on my desktop and right click on the epub link. Using the Mobile Barcoder Firefox plugin, it will generate a QR code which I can easily scan in with the G1.
Of course as I mentioned, an upcoming version of FBReaderJ should have an integrated feedbooks library (no need to get the epub link from the browser). Until then, the above methods are workable.
Wow, I have to say, I used the FBreader, with the calibre to convert and its SOOOO easy and so nice to save bookmarks, and converting to epub is so easy. HUGE thumbs up!
Is there a way to get calibre to convert books from Barnes and Noble to convert with calibre. I tested it using their preview, and that converted but when i bought the full version of my book, it says it can't convert due to DRM. Or is that one of those things we can't talk about on here.
Just to chuck my hat in the ring
Alkido is much better IMHO, very slick GUI and download section, can import other epubs and is free if you want it to be. you can pay for it (which is recommend doing as it's ace) or use the free veersion - both are identical, both are on the market.
Ereader is now available
i agree with A.S. Alkido is very nice.
I used to use Ereader on various other platforms and am happy that you can now get it on Android here
its still a Beta but its fairly stable, and im sure its going to get better
Definately AuduaReader its my favourite app easily . FB and all those other ones are far too bothersome this looks nice and is simple and never breaks.
Aldiko and Office Suite. Both are great and at a lower prince than most! Aldiko for .epub and Office Suite for .pdf, .doc, .xls, .txt, and .ppt! Can't beat that...
One thing though... I REALLY miss PDFViewer from the Hayruko ROMS! I wish we could get it ported over to Cyan 4.2.5....
Is anyone know where can find a Ereader for WP7 that can access txt/PDB file in SD card / Storage?
Thanks.
freda
sor far I dont know of any ebook reader that can access your sd cards to search for ebooks saved on it but...
have a look here: Ebook Reader - Freda, you also can find it in the market place. With freda you cannot directly access or copy eboods on your sd card, but you can access a dropbox account from wich you can download any placed ebooks there. According to the developer only EPUB (DRM-free), HTML and TXT format are supported. Might not be exactly what you are looking for but its a start.

Thanks folumi
from my trials, Amazon Kindle reader is the best ebook reader for WP7 out there - in terms of performance, UI, functionality, etc. I converted all my epub books to Kindle's format and side-loaded them on my WP7. Works like a charm...just perfect
If this is an option or u, then take a look at the side-loading Kindle books thread and you're good to go.
Cheers
To answer the original question: actually there is no way to access 'SD Card/Storage' on Windows Phone 7. The storage card is formatted in a weird way, and it not accessible via USB synch. When you connect your phone to your PC using Zune, you can synch media files (music and video) onto it, but you can't control whether those files go on to the SD Card or into the phone's internal memory; the OS will just put them somewhere in its accessible memory space, and link them into the phone's Media Hub folder.
The Zune USB synch system and the WP7 media player don't understand any ebook formats, so there is no point putting EPUB (or MOBI, or PDB or PDF ... ) files into the Zune media folder - because they will get synched into the Media Hub folder on the phone, and the only program (WP7 Media Player) that has access to that folder does not know how to read those file types.
So you have to use an App (like Freda, Amazon or ABookReader) that comes with some way of side-loading ebooks into the app's own folders on the phone. Amazon does this using the Kindle side-load function, Freda and ABookReader can fetch books from DropBox, OPDS catalogs and web-sites.
I recommend Freda, but then I would, wouldn't I (see sig.)

I've been looking for you, in fact...
Foremost, let me thank you for the extraordinary devotion you've put into Freda, moreover that its actually free. I truly do appreciate it, as many others who commend it without hesitation.
I also would like to suggest to you that you consider/solicit assistance from some of XDA's finest graphics/ui designers, for example, EL Condor or the team currently responsible for the GTX theme. Freda is a testament to your FINE programming skills, but I believe it would benefit greatly from UI overhaul and aesthetic improvements.
I hope you consider this seriously as a sincere advice - I have nothing in my heart other than an earnest desire to see your initiative and hardwork prosper beyond its current stage.
With kindliest regards...
I use Freda. To get books on there (in any format), I use Calibre to convert to epub and then use the built in content server. Freda can access this over wifi.
indeed, freda is prolly the most promising e-reader for wp7. it's not quite usable yet, though. it has great features but desperately needs some ui design work. i really miss a decent ereader, so i'm anxiously awaiting an update.
ebook reader
really no alternatives???
yh ABookReader seems quite good although not customizable like Freda, Freda is like how it was on WinMo way too slow,this time it looks uglier...no offense Jim but every wp7 has 1ghz, books should be loading alot faster like in ABookReader.. but like everyone else agrees Freda's got lots of potential and with a little more performance improvements i wouldn't actually mind paying for it
Like I said, I tried "all" the ebook readers available in the marketplace (both paid & free). The BEST one is Amazon Kindle app. Here is why:
- Very streamlined, smooth & polished experience.
- No clutter of confusing options.
- Books load very fast, and you don't need to wait while book is loading & indexed.
- Only con is that you have to sideload your books. Check out the thread on it in this same section.
As for the rest, here are my 2 cents;
ABookReader, Freda, and iSilo all suffer from one or more of these:
- Jittery performance - lots of stuttering.
- Very slow to load & index apps and you can't really do anything while that's happening.
- inconsistent experience: too many options that are scattered all over the place, and they all invariably lack the familiar, content-centric design of Metro UI
- Getting books into the library is actually NOT as simple as you might think.
Cheers
I hope this helps both users & devs.
Freda performance and UI
Hi all,
And thanks for the commentary on Freda. A couple of thoughts:
1) UI design:
I'll be happy to receive UI design advice, but it does raise IP issues, because I do expect to get some revenue from Freda (advertising, licensing to book publishers, etc.) and I do not want to give away a share of that revenue. And I can quite sympathise with a UI expert who doesn't want to give their work to me free of charge.
That said, any UI designer who does want to give me free, no-obligation advice is welcome to. To be useful, such advice needs to be detailed and specific, and implementable in WP7 XAML/C#. That last point is actually a very strong constraint; I have tried out all sorts of slick design ideas that look neat in principle, but give unacceptable performance on a real WP7 device.
2) Performance:
This is an area that I continue to work on. But EPUB files will always present something of a challenge, because opening them involves decompressing a big ZIP archive and parsing large-ish XHTML files. Amazon Kindle actually has it easier here, because the MOBI format is easier to open and parse quickly.
One point to note: I have optimised Freda for the use-case of "I want to resume reading a book that I was reading before". The first time you open a book, you will wait some time before you can see the first page (up to 30 seconds) while it downloads and unpacks the book, and you'll get jittery performance for a few minutes while the whole book is processed. But on subsequently opening the same book, you should be reading smoothly within 5-10 seconds.
Cheers,
Jim

1) Read (!!!) (working on 6th of 7 books of the Foundation series, Prelude to Foundation),
2) geocaching (c:geo, CacheMe, CacheDroid),
3) check in at lots of places (Latitude), and
4) an occasional game (AngryBirds, etc.).

That's a good question as most of their movies are pretty old. I guess better than watching nothing.
I bought it and use it mostly to read. Reading on a netbook in bed sucks about as much as it sounds. However, having the ability to surf and play games has made the device better than I ever thought it could be. I don't think I'll ever buy another netbook again.
What I use it for (In relation to how I used to do these tasks)
1. Read my RSS feeds
* The bigger screen is much better for this (Has replaced my touch for news reading about 90% of the time)
2. Stream my tunez using Audiogalaxy
* The bigger battery makes this possible (More stream time in between recharges has me using the tablet in more cases...unless I need to be mobile around the house -- so about 75% of the streaming happens on the Tablet VS. the touch
3. Read books
* Bigger screen for sure...100% of my reading is done on the tablet
4. Play time wasting puzzle games (More and more it seems
* Basic puzzle games are great on the bigger screen....But I still find myself using the touch to play the more "complex" games since they are not available for Android...So only about 15% of my gaming time is on the tablet VS. the touch.
5. Light web browsing....(Anything more Is still a chore on either the touch or the tablet -- screen size on the touch and browser speed on the tablet still has me breaking out the laptop for anything more than basic browsing.)

Have you tried Opera Mobile? It takes advantage of hardware acceleration and is the fastest renderer I've seen in a mobile browser.
I've used my nook for books, no movies, but definitely video, and ever since adding both j4mm3r's Dual boot u-boot.bin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962708) and racks11479 SD card updates (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861), been running new roms ONLY on the SD so I'm not messing with my Stock (rooted) NC. The CM7 rom is awesome, and I've move it to eMMC, but some things haven't yet been moved to the roms, such as the ability to read my magazine subscriptions. Only time will tell, but I do love my NC!
Angry birds arghhh

I need to give Mobile 11 a try (with Flash). I don't like flash -- but that does not seem to matter to the interweb content providers. Glad that Android supports it.
Has anyone found a universal e-reader that can read both Mobi and Epub formats? My collection of books for the nook color include both and I'd rather just go with 1 reader instead of 2 if I could. If there isn't such a thing what readers would you guys suggest for a CM7 rooted NC? Thanks for the help!
I think Cool Reader supports both, I never tried it so can't say for sure
According to https://market.android.com/details?id=org.coolreader&feature=search_result Cool Reader does indeed support both (though only non-DRM Mobi files).
Why not just download Calibre to your PC and let it manage your books. Does all the translations for you

Seconded. Converting Mobi to epub is a snap in calibre, and then you can choose your own e-reader. I recommend Aldiko, personally. It has a lot going for it over the nook app.

This may be hard to believe but not everyone has a PC in front of them 24/7.
Cool Reader is very good for mobi files.

You don't have to have a pc in front of you all the time....just long enough to convert your existing mobi files. Takes about 30 seconds each. Thus the use of the word CONVERT, rather than READ.

It is? I have yet to get the Market version to open a single non-DRM one, regardless of whether the extension is .mobi or .prc - despite this ability being touted on the Market page (but strangely not the official home page).

DaoCaoXie Reader claims to handle both epub and mobi formats although I use Calibre and have never needed to test the mobi functionality.
I have to say I've tried all the eReaders going on Android and like DaoCaoXie Reader the best. It has its limitations; searching is non-existent and it can import only 80 books. But for easy reading with nice page transitions; full brightness and font control I like this one a lot.
[edit] I've just looked up info on DaoCaoXie Reader and it seems that automatic import is limited to 80 books, not the whole library.[/edit]
I tried almost all the readers before settling for FBReader. It says it supports mobi but I always use ePub. For me it was the easiest to use and is most flexible. The default formatting wasn't great but I could quickly change the font, line spacing and margins to get it to look exactly how I liked. For what I like it beats every reader software in my book, including the Nook Color stock reader.
No affiliations, just a satisfied user.
I also use FBReader, but haven't tried the .mobi because I already converted all my .mobi to .epub (and any new books I just buy in .epub).
I also like FBReader because of the FBSync app that lets me keep it synced with my Thunderbolt. That is the reason I switched from Aldiko.

Well for a thread about reading .mobi eBooks ... good comment. Especially the more so because FbReader, by its own admission doesn't do .mobi.
FbReader is, IMHO, awkward, clunky and ugly ...but if thats what you want - go for it.

From the FBreader.org about page:
Main features:
Supported e-book formats are
ePub, an international e-publishing standard.
fb2, a Russian e-books standard de facto.
plucker, one of the most popular Palm e-book format.
Non-DRM'd version of Mobipocket, a popular commercial e-book format.
More formats.
As to FBReader being "clunky" - that is indeed your opinion. I find it it no more clunky than Aldiko or other readers, and the FBSync option makes it much less "clunky" in actual use for my purposes than other readers.
I use ireader for drm'd .prc / mobi books (some work, some don't) can't recall if it supports epub though.
I also had books in various formats. After trying many different options to read .mobi books. I finally decided the quickest and easiest thing to do was use Calibre to convert everything to .epub I'm also using a Calibre app to import my books from PC to the SD card on my NC and have found that to be much easier than mounting my Nook every time I wanted to upload a new book.
I purchased Laputa, Aldiko and tried several others but have decided that my favorite ereader for managing my large library is Moon+ Reader. I find the layout easy to navigate, the options are plentiful, developer is responsive and I really enjoy the page turning animation.

Yes, I agree Moon Reader is most excellent and certainly worthy of everyone's consideration. I used it for quite a while before landing on my current favourite;DaoCaoXie
Also agree that Calibre just sorts alomost everything out. It doesnt handle comics very well though. 'Perfect Viewer' is the best of the current bunch for cbz files.
Thanks everyone I ended up going with cool-reader and it is exactly what I was looking for.
I use iReader. It handles encryped .mobi, .prc, ereader, etc and stores your keys in a wallet so new titles downloaded with an existing key open automatically.
it's great if you've been stuck with a bunch of fictionwise or peanutpress files you can't read anymore!
Was interested in seeing what everyone does with their tablets as i feel im not using my to full potential.
I mainly use mine for searching net, reading websites, watching Youtube, check emails and twitter reading a paper or mag and maybe the odd game.
Thats about it for the most part.
what else can it be used for?
i use mine for:
- taking notes (asus super note)
- capturing my ideas (adobe collage)
- reading books (ezpdf reader, polaris office)
- learning french (about 13 different dictionaries and conjugation apps)
- searching and surfing the web (firefox, opera mini)
- checking forums (xda premium hd, tapatalk hd)
- reading Quran (Quran android)
- messaging
- email
- maps (i travel a lot these days)
- camera (don't judge me )
- watching movies and tv shows (mx video player)
- music (play music)
- games (cut the rope, angry birds, fruit ninja thd)
and just for the sake of using it to full potential i sometimes hit my sister with it or use it as a japanese hard pillow.
Is Asus Supernote the same as The Supernote that's already on the Tablet?
If not can you link me to it please.
Thanks
Pretty much everything! Moved from iPad to this and because of the extra openness I rarely use my Mac or PC when I'm not working now... Some things I use it for:
Portfolio - Displays my graphic design work
Perfect photo viewer
Kindle (Best e-Reader, you can give it it's own brightness etc.)
Social hub (Seriously, Samsung Social Hub is one of the best social network aggregators I've seen, works especially well in portrait)
Skype (Seriously try this, the future is here guys, Star Trek ain't got nothing on Android!!)
Magazines (Zinio lets you subscribe to magazines, save the paper etc.)
It has replaced my newspapers (I'm all digital now, I just read the news sites/apps)
Gaming (Makes a great little games console, never going to live up to an Xbox or PlayStation but it certainly gives portable stuff like PSP and DS a run for its money with the big screen and very affordable games!)
Games console emulators
Evernote
"Cracked!" Reader app (very magazine-ish in portrait mode)
Comic books
Radio & podcasts (Great broadband radio apps, good speakers, win!)
Route planning on Google Maps
TV/Movies when away from home (As long as there's wi-fi, Netflix works great, if not, I stock it up with some films)
Development (I am an iOS and Android developer)
Things I DON'T use it for:
Writing on this forum - the browser seems to have a tendency to just stop working if I try to send a relatively long post on this forum and some others, not sure if its my network, the browsers or the device.
Music - My iPhone does the music bit, and 16GB with no SD slot is pushing it a little with music.
Instant messaging - Mobile OS multitasking isn't ready for IM, it really needs to be something you keep present on the screen no matter what you're doing the way you can on a Mac or a Windows computer with a good sized screen. I'd use it for IM if Samsung had made a TouchWiz overlay IM program like they have with their calculator, calendar etc., but switching to and from IM+ just isn't versatile enough.
isnt adobe collage like 15$?
An interesting post as I think the tablet form factor is not being used to its full potential.
For me surfing and reading the two biggest uses as with everyone else.
Other uses for me:
- Home media player with HDTV connector. MK video player plays more formats than Xbox or PS3 and easier to connect than laptop. I use ES explorer to connect and stream to NAS.
- Microsoft Instant Messenger (try Office talk). Great when not in front of work laptop. Can use any IM really and saves you firing up computer.
- Have tried VNC and Teamviewer. Need to setup static IP but useful if in other room. Contemplating whether to leave work laptop on all day and just vnc.
- Highly recommend installing Overskreen Browser. Useful browser which acts as a separate window on top of what you are doing. Combine this with a web app and you have a second reference window. For example, check address while on Google maps.
- I have Documents to Go so can open all Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint via Dropbox account. Still won't replace working on desktop as not all features are enabled, like pivot tables in excel or transitions in PowerPoint. This is still for reference and look up.
I've tried note taking but quicker to write out notes. For this size, an active digitizer would be the killer app.
Interested in what other people do as well.

When I'm not programming at home, I'm pretty much on the tablet all the time and my PC turns into my home cinema and that's it. I would gladly stop using it alltogether as long as Photoshop and other productivity tools were available on Android (which I hope soon).
i don't think you're supposed to have a supernote *already* on the tablet unless you have a transformer prime.
check this post, it's really useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204931
and no. adobe touch apps are all less than 10 bucks.
i don't mind other apps. just adobe collage gave me the feeling that i would enjoy using it.
also adobe photoshop touch was good. but it's nothing compared to the pc version and i wouldn't use my tab for photo editing.
I keep noticing people referring to Tapatalk HD on this forum, but I can never find an HD version, just a nasty stretched out mobile app. I used to use the HD version on iPad so I'd love to have it on my tab... Where are you guys getting it??

Although some strides are being made in productivity (e.g. Adobe touch apps), tablets still come nowhere close to the capability of a desktop for work.
