I use Kindle and I also use eReader Prestigio cause it can read practically any format and there is no need to convert books as they loose their quality in the process.

I prefer the General E-book reader. It's easy to use. You can add as many books to your library as you want. Then, you read them offline. It's indeed a worthy companion.

Personally the only reading app I have so far is the kindle app, reading with this app has been fun in fact it makes me want to read the more.

I have tried many different e-reader but Kobo is my favorite. On scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it an 8. Its bookmark feature is good although even if I didn't bookmarked, I'd get directed back to where I left without hassle. It is also easy to use in navigating through the book series or under the authors' names. Just a bit sad that it can't sync directly after adding book in the library, like I'd go through and add books in my library, then when at library, I sync it there. :cry:
There is also reading activity area that allow me to know my overall total read time, completed books, average reading hours and awards. Its exciting because I'd like to fulfill just so I get awarded with logos. :wink:
But to import books from outside sources, I think it can only read epub files, mobi i'm not sure and no pdf file can be read. It also has dictionary for words in it when I selected a word which helps me to know the meaning of the word.

Why does this sounds like product review? :eusa-think:
Kindle is great, it's my second favorite reading app but don't like it quite much. Out of any ebook readers, I haven't tried Nook. :P

Fb reader! Really popular on Google Play! Also free! Simple with cool and handy features!
Always retains your page no matter what even if you turn off your phone. Websites for free e-books with an option to download an e-book with full cover or not for your library; full screen; text is a good size that's kind on eyes; font option; wallpaper and colour options; direct access to social media for sharing; full editing like cut, paste, highlight; bookmark; bar at bottom margin shows reading progress; dictionary and translator; night view easy on eyes than LCD; Free bookshelf that shows your library in full cover. Etc.
So far it has been all I need, don't feel a need to change!

I like the Kindle app on my iPhone and Wattpad. Both are super user easy with plenty of customization options. I find more indie writers on Wattpad and read all the ebooks I want using the Kindle app and the unlimited book plan.

My favourite is FBReader because it has all the features I am looking for while also not taking much space from my phone's storage.

I like to use Manga Rock for manga. BookBub is a great app to find free or steeply discounted e-books. I also love the Litsy app for social media purposes.

Post by Nanig83006 »

I have three reading apps on my device: Nook, Kindle, and iBooks. I also have each as its respective reader. I have to say that I use the Kindle app and iBooks the most. When I don't use those, I read on my nook simple touch. I'm believe it's the simplicity of the apps/device. For a long time, it was impossible for me to access the bookstore on the kindle and nook app, but the updates have made it easier and more enjoyable. Prior to that, I mostly used iBooks because I could buy the ebooks without having to go on my computer to do so.
