Best App for Reading EPUB?

[gksmithlcw]

Hey all, what's the best ebook app that supports local libraries?

Aldiko Book Reader is quite nice. Otherwise if the file isn't too large I personally like to upload to Google Play Books.

I use the Nook app for my .epub e-books. Pretty decent app, relatively polished UI, and the right price (free).

Most of the readers I've tried from the Play Store are very good (Moon+ Reader, Nook, Kindle, FBRreader, Overdrive), but a few years ago I purchased Aldiko Pro and it has been perfect for me. There is a free version as well. I like the controls and options, the bookshelf looks nice and I've never once had any problem with it. I particularly like being able to make shortcuts to the books I'm currently reading, so I have an icon of the book cover to click on that will open the app and take me right to the last page I read.

It was one of the first apps I installed on my Nexus 7, I've probably read over a hundred books with it and I use it almost daily. But almost all the readers are free or have a free version, try them all! Read a chapter or two with each one and see which is most appealing to you personally.

I used to use the Nook reader until PlayBooks gained the ability to upload your ePubs to your Google account. Now i use PlayBooks for my reading. Like the fact that it syncs where you left off, bookmarks, markers etc across your devices.

Mantano is the absolute best epub reader I have found. There is a free version on the play store. Try it out. It also does pdf.

This. There is no better option than Google's own app - smooth, syncs progress and bookmarks, syncs the actual epub (after uploading it to your account), and best of all free.

Test out Play Books. Once your collection is uploaded, the syncing is great between your devices.

I'm a huge fan of mantano. It open PDFs and epubs flawlessly. There is a free version available so give it a try.

+1 now that you can upload your epubs or pdfs, play book is my recommendation. Manteno would be second. I find the formatting better on play book than manteno. The syncing between devices just seals the deal for play book. Manteno charges to sync between devices...

PS - the Nook app does all of this also. for free (unlike some of the others..obviously PlayBooks is free as well).

The thing I like about Nook over PlayBooks is that Nook gives me more text formatting options. Mainly, the ability to change margin widths. I have found this especially useful for reading some e-books.

Most of the big name readers have these sorts of additional text formatting options, however some charge for sync capabilities, etc.

I personally think that the actual contents of my books look the best in the Nook app (once you play around and get the formatting setup how you want it) and with free syncing between all of your devices, it's all win.

To each their own, obviously.

I highly recommend Google Play Books for epubs as well. It is very nice looking, smooth, and the sync feature is great. I also LOVE the look of the widget, it is the centerpiece of my home screen. My only complaint is no support for my comics in cbr format, and also it seems that pdf pages (both pdf books and cbr->pdf conversions) load rather slowly at times.

But if you will solely be using epub, you can't go wrong here. You may have problems uploading converted epubs though.

Yeah, Moon Reader is great, and Moon+ Reader is 50% off!

I seem to have a lot of problems with the epubs I have uploaded to play books, they take forever to load. I usually don't bother waiting. Aldiko and Moon+ are both good options. I also highly recommend aldiko sync to sync between devices.

I also tried a few different EPUB readers but Aldiko was the one that stayed my Nexus.

So I'm playing with Google Play Books, and generally I like it. One problem however, on several books it won't adjust the font size. I can change the setting but there's no change in the display. Any thoughts? Is the epub file hard-coded or something? Thanks...

I've tested many epub software and my favorite by far is moon+ reader. You can configure it to be perfect for you. The other soft doesn't have near as much setting to adjuste your reading to be as confortable as possible. But yeah you will have to take 10/20 minutes the first time configuring it (and have a few more tweak later too to do to be perfect). And that the only soft that render all my epub perfectly; during my testing I find some reader cut some text for no reason (aldiko in particuliar) but maybe that have been patched.

Sorry for my not so good english
