Who is accustomed to enjoy the aromas of freshly printed pages. Only life has changed – the world is filled with turmoil. There are lines and traffic jams. Here – a flea market in the subway and at the bus stop. Carrying a book around the city became quite inconvenient. Yes, and why such sacrifices? Wouldn’t it be easier to download a new novel directly to your smartphone?
FBReader
A modern, reliable and beautifully designed “reader” opens the rating of the best applications for reading books, easily coping with any modern format – here is the classic fb2, and the world-famous rft, and documents with HTML markup, and even ePub!
And yet the main idea of the service is not what kind of files can be uploaded to the system, but in extensions and settings. The “starter” version of FBReader hardly seems functional – an inexpressive main menu, non-working online libraries, support for only a few interface languages.
But one has only to download a few new modules and everything will change – you can download books directly from the network by entering the necessary name. The FBReader interface will become clear and detailed, a quick access bar will appear, and with a loaded dictionary, even new words will not be a problem!
Moon Reader
Practically “omnivorous” tool for reading electronic books and documents. Supported formats cannot be counted with the fingers of three hands.
Settings – even more. And it’s not about choosing some fonts and backgrounds (although it was not without such parameters), but about global changes in working with the “reader”. The developers of Moon + Reader allow you to activate the gesture system and change the page turning modes, enable the automatic brightness control function, depending on the situation around, and even activate the line-by-line text translation system into any language.
EBook Droid Djvu Reader
The best reading app for Android, perfect for PDF, CBZ and CBR (digitized comic books), EPUB, MOBI and of course Djvu.
The functional set of EBook Droid Djvu Reader can hardly be called extensive – in addition to the direct ability to “read”, only some individual interface settings and content display options are available. Only the system of dictionaries and notes is implemented in a really curious way – the found translations can be saved, grouped and supplemented with your own comments through a special menu called.
Cool Reader
The once legendary (and indeed the best) Android book app that set the tone for the modern e-reader community. Even then, many years ago, the developers of Cool Reader provided support for all the necessary formats, and opened the settings panel, and took care of the presence of the same page-turning animation.
The already rich reading experience is now supplemented with new features – take, for example, support for dictionaries and translators, bookmarks and text search. Well, where without the integration of an individual library with online services that allow you to upload any book to the Cool Reader catalog in just three seconds? Brighten up your free time has never been so easy and relaxed.
Wattpad
Wattpad is a modern electronic library with about 10 million books.
Books are available in different languages, and even completely free (sometimes there is also paid content – especially if the literature is fresh and has recently appeared on store shelves).
The main idea of the Wattpad service is to provide each user with an ideal platform for intellectual development – this is where the statistics of recent activity are calculated, the opportunity opens up to exchange opinions with community members and leave comments and “likes” under the novels, short stories and novels read.
PocketBook Reader
A free, beautiful and modern tool that plays e-books and documents of various formats on the screen of smartphones and tablets, and allows you to personalize your personal reading experience in many ways: several reading modes, gesture support, the ability to create and edit notes, block screen orientation changes and change many visual settings.
As a plus PocketBook Reader – support for audiobooks downloaded from any online services.
eBoox
Beautiful design and visual menu, support for electronic libraries and work with dictionaries and translators, the ability to buy paid and transfer free books from any source.
eBoox helps you easily and naturally interact with modern literature and get the most out of every line you read!
The listed features of eBoox do not attract attention? And what about the system of social interaction? Everyone can share selections of their favorite novels and stories, talk about their emotions and describe all the intensity of passions! Yes, a real social network inside a simple reader!
Kobo
Kobo Reader is another modern library with free access to any active materials.
In addition to the classic works of famous authors, comics are available, specialized literature on repair, design or landscape work, and a variety of translators, and manuals that make it easier to get acquainted with foreign languages or the professions being studied.
AlReader
Perhaps the best reading application on Android, capable of shocking those who have never encountered reading virtual literature at the first meeting.
It’s all to blame – a huge number of add-ons, modules and parameters that cannot be listed even in a whole paragraph. Firstly, it is here that all relevant formats are available – from fb2 and fb3 to GZ and ZIP archives. Secondly, support for any encodings and languages is active, access to TTS and OPDS network libraries is open.
The developers of AlReader also took care of setting up the display of text on the page, connected synchronization with cloud services, added several highlights and bookmarks, translators and dictionaries. Probably no one has come up with a more complete and high-quality way to “read”.
