thaimite Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You need to download an ePub reader app. There are many available, but my favourite is Moon Reader + I am sure other posters will also have their favourites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schondie Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Another vote for Moon Reader. I've been using it for about a month and only found out yesterday I can make so many changes to the PDFs and EPUBs. Font, font size, background colour etc. The list is endless. I assumed that would only be available in the paid for version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 2 most popular seem to be the above mentioned Moon+ Reader https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader and Aldiko Book Reader https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android I personally use neither, I have an account on Amazon and Kobo Book Store so I have their apps to read my books. Used to buy books from these stores, but recently downloaded thousands of books and use Calibre PC program to store, organize, and send books to my phone or to my ebook reader. There are hundreds if not thousands of apps in the play store so go and check, you'll find something to your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always18 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have a Samsung GTP6800 (7.7 tab) which came already loaded with the official Samsung eBook reader but I'm sure it's available for download from the Samsung Apps Market. Works very well and I only normally use ePub file types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdrayong Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Calibre is a great tool! Did anyone try out Mantano Ebook Reader? I read many positive comments and think about buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimite Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 There is a very good convertor that I use called calibre for converting books for my kindle. I am a great fan of Calibre as can be seen from other posts I have made on this forum Not only does it keep a library of your books but lets you convert between formats and also remove that annoying DRM (Google search will reveal a blog by a guy named Alf with full details) I like PDF format on my Note 10.1 for magazines and books with lots of diagrams, otherwise I prefer ePub especially on the phone.

verywierd Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I like "Cool Reader". Handles multiple formats, and isn't loaded down with unnecessary database or social media functions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
