Finding the right eBook reader apps (also called eReaders) can be difficult. There are a variety of eBook types, plenty of file formats to deal with, and then there are different kinds of books (novels, comics, etc) that make the whole experience a little complicated. Dont worry, we can help by showing you the best eBook reader apps for Android so you can just start reading.
Cool Reader
Cool Reader is a eBook reader apps that have been around for a long time. This one supports a ton of different formats, including EPUB, FB2, Doc, Txt, RTF, HTML, MOBI, and PML, along with OPDS and LitRes support. Aside from its broad range of supported file types, it also has a decent, if somewhat antiquated interface with a charming aged paper look with some cool animations to give it a bit of realism. The experience is rather enjoyable and the app is free to download so its worth a shot
FBReader
FBReader is among the most popular eBook reader apps because it is totally free to use. It supports a ton of formats, including EPUB, FB2, RTF, Doc, HTML, and plain text. Its also one of the few out there that supports AZW3 (Amazon Kindle eBooks). It also supports PDFs, but requires a (free) plugin first. It also comes with a built-in browser for finding eBooks to download which is helpful. On top of that, it has a variety of customisation options, library syncing, and more. Its a solid option, especially considering its non-existent price tag.
Google Play Books
Google Play Books wasnt a great eBook reader when it first came out, but has been progressively improving over time. Its tied to the Google Play Store and most of the stuff youll read will come from there. However, you can upload PDF and EPUB files to your library which can then be synced to your various devices which is a nice tough. The interface is modern with Material Design elements and this is an excellent option if youre looking for an eBook platform instead of just an eBook reader.
Kobo Books
Kobo BooksKobo Books is another ecosystem based app that provides you with over four million books that you can purchase and read. This is a very basic app and doesnt appear to have any features that allow you to read books that you already own. However, if you buy into the system, the app will sync your bookmarks and library, recommend new books based on your reading habits, and it comes with a few extra features like Night Mode. Its not bad once you get a few books in your collection.
Kindle
Kindle, like Kobo, is a standalone book store ecosystem where you can buy and read eBooks. It was one of the original eBook vendors and has a gigantic selection. It will sync your bookmarks and library and you can also use a built-in dictionary, sample books before buying them, and Amazon Prime subscribers can borrow books from their library. It also has a decent selection of free books to get yourself started. Unfortunately, this one doesnt read eBooks that are already on your device.
