Best Alternate reader

---

I was going to toss this on page 22 of working apps, but thought someone who wanted to improve their reading experience may want a separate thread. I apologize if it is not the right place. So, those of you who rooted their nookcolor, what is your best ebook reader (you do still read on it, right)?

I have 3.

Moon+Reader

BN (the one it ships with)
I still like this a lot, but it needs to support customized font color and brightness

Kindle
Some of amazon's books are still cheaper. Now we have the best of both worlds.

I love Moon+For the books it opens (does not handle all drm well)

Moon+Reader works well. The free version works wonderfully. I am having issues with paid apps right now, but as soon as that's resolved, I will posted about the paid version.

-Excellent fonts (can use any font, color and background combination actually)
-Can read many formats including epub
-Custom brightness down to 0
-Wonderful page turn effect
-It can even read some b&n purchased books, but not all.

The purchased version supports multitouch.

Have fun,
Leko

Look for "Moon+" and you should find it.

Aldiko works well too.

There's a free version and a paid version - Aldiko Premium (well worth the $)

I'm using that for my epubs instead of the B&N reader.

Here is a link if you do not have the market up and running.

Aldiko is good too.

P.S. Sorry for the HTML box. I am posting this from dolphin on my Nook.

Aldiko Premium for me.

Nobody uses FBReader?

Ya know, I get tired of answering the same thread multiple times, so I missed this one I guess...

I exclusively use FBReader. I don't like the stock reader, it's extremely slow on my own epubs, and not enough options, such as grey on black for night reading.

FBReader has all the options I need, and it's fast, flexible. If he'd put a mechanism to sync into it, nothing could touch it IMO. It's not pretty like Aldiko but who cares, I don't stare at book covers, I read.

New update on aldiko seems to make it better with more functionality. It now can read any ePub and PDF off the sd card. This includes drm.

Not sure what extra features the premium gives? Anyone know

I like the Kindle apps ability to change the background color to sepia and adjust the font size. the stock B&N reader really needs that feature. What I'd really like to see is an app come along that would actually use a scan (or alternate between 2 or 3) real scans of book paper as a background and overlay the text over that. I think that would be cool. even a light 4 level gray fractal noise pattern would be interesting, and i think maybe easier to read.

Or maybe I'm just nuts...
