ebook reader

Hi all.
Ive been looking around, but I cant seem to find any good ebookreader to my vox.
The integrated adobe reader - lite, sucs for reading pdf files, as it cant rearrange the text, and word isnt any real alternative.
Do you know any god ones, and what formats does it take, freeware etc?
Greetings.

Haven't really tried any of these, but these 2 came with the ROM I use:
Microsoft LIT Reader
CHM ebook Reader 2.5

For PDF files no Windows Smartphone reader is perfect, but this included in Documents To Go is the best among them. It is the only one that word wraps the PDF text, so you can read the book without scrolling around.
Unfortunately, there is no PDF reader that can reflow your document like Adobe Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, but the Word Wrap mode of Documents To Go PDF Reader is pretty close.

For non-technical literature i advised AlReader 2 (freeware)
This programm works with TXT, HTML, RTF, DOC, FB2, PDB/PRC (PalmDOC, zTXT mode 1), TCR
PDF is unsupported

And what about MobiPocketReader ?

AlReader 2.
I simply cant find it in an english version. You have one?
Is moby pocket reader good?
Thanks for your replys.

You have to try yourself.
It's free, with PC/PPC/SP client with few format convertion.

Yes, Alreader2 is the best reader ever, with the russian menus even. ;-)
With a reader like this for the iPhone, maybe I let my Vox at home.

A new solution for ebooks on smartphone....giv it a try!
hi there....i suffered from this kind of problem....i had over 3000 ebooks in .lit format....my idea is this. use isilo v4.36 for smartphone....if u are really interested i'll put it up here.....
there is a freeware called amberlit .lit converter available. my advice is, do a batch conversion of .lit files, then use isilo on ur mobile. mine too is a htc s710....my novels are great/ pm me....i hav the full working version.
try and njoy!

[Q] Best PDF and ebook readers for the Tab?

I interested in getting a Tab and my primary use for it will be reading documents and books. What are the best apps for the following formats:
PDF
epub
cbr/cbz
chm
djvu

I have tried quite a few of the free ones and so far they all suck for one reason or another.
If there is a good pay one, I would not be averse to giving it the ol' 24 hour test.

Tab comes with think free office app. Best pdf reader on android. For comics/cbr/zip use acv (android comic viewer). For books, kindle, nook, aldiko, there are loads

For ebooks, I really like fbreader. kindle and nook have really big fonts that I can't seem to shrink enough. fbreader doesn't have a store, but it can access calibre if you have it set up for opds.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking into them. One format I forgot to mention is HTML. Is it better to convert that to a different format or search for a reader (or browser) for it?

I use ezpdf for my ebook reading. My current favourate with auto crop feature.

Ita difficult finding a good pdf reader. anyone tried good reader on the ipad? its a great pdf manager. Im going to email them to see if they are working on an android version. Adobe reader is good but slow. Others just feel cheap.

I work for a large newspaper company in the UK so I have access to hundreds of papers in PDF format, each day I grab my local one which is usually over 40 pages and around 120Mb in size.
The ONLY app which doesn't crash at the size of the PDF is the free office app that came with the Tab, pinch zoom or double tapping is quick & smooth and moving from one page to the next is seamless
the Adobe app never even opens the first page!

I use the built-in ebook reader, and could bend it to my will, also it supports epub
With a well setup calibre adding new books is easy as 1-2-3

Exactly, the ThinkFree office pdf reader is teh BEST pdf reader on android. It renders pages with no lag, ayman you can't have tried this if you think its not adequate, try it.

Have you tried ezPDF ? It works brilliantly on my Tab, it is great for reading technical documents in column mode (with double-tap gestures, pinch/stretch zoom, and horizontal scroll lock). The text-flow view is pretty handy too. It is fast, regularly updated...well worth the purchase

for ebook reading, i use aldiko. its on the market.

I use think free apps and Adobe pdf reader. Adobe pdf reader for android is free from the market.

For PDFs, ezPDF has by far the best features.
It remembers the page, it remembers the zoom, and it even can auto-zoom into columns and jump to the next column. It also can lock the horizontal position.
Unfortunately it does not have the best rendering quality, text does not look as sharp as with adobe's reader.
Adobe's is fine with the best rendering quality but still lacks features. Not even remembering the page-number is fully implemented.
thinkoffice is just a basic fast pdf-viewer that can not even keep the zoom-level.

Bloody sick of Thinkfree Office - it doesn't remember the zoom level across the document! I need to double tap repeatedly for each page to make the document zoom to page width. Going to try EZ PDF and sees how it turns out.

Ezpdf is the best android PDF reader period..

Another vote for ezpdf. They recently added annotation tools launching this pdf viewer back to the top of the stack for me.

+1

Ahh.. thanks for the tip, just tried out ThinkFree for PDF, never thought of it before. Works great with no lag! Was previously using Aldiko for PDFs and while they opened fine it was really laggy.

repligo is very good also

PDF
I´m using adobe reader too.
Works perfect, only small lags when scrolling in big pdf´s.

ezPDF is faster and rendered better than adobe and repligo. They also just added free hand annotations.

The biggest complaint I have with Adobe Reader is that it's not compatible with Honeycomb. For now, I'm using the PDF reading functionality of Aldiko, since it paginates in a way that makes sense for a tablet, but it crashes far too often to be optimal. If anyone has a suggestion for PDF viewers for Honeycomb, I'd love to hear! Thanks!

Yup Same here. It's actually works pretty well, you just have to be patient with it.

Repligo is definitely the best pdf reader I have tested so far (One of the very few paid applications I bought)
All pdf ebooks are readily available very much like an epub ebook now with Repligo. Reflows text while preserving text formatting, remembers your last position, instantly moves from page to page, etc.
If you think Repligo is expensive, you can choose ezPDF. Although not as fast as Repligo, ezPDF is very fast with a nice page flipping animation. Lock to column feature is very nice, especially for reading multi-column pdfs (like many academic papers).
If you do not want to pay anything, I guess your next best option is Adobe Reader. Yeah, it renders pages perfectly, but it does nothing apart from that. It does not even come close to Repligo or ezPDF with respect to functionality.
If you can afford $ 4.99 or $ 0.99 , Repligo or ezPDF is Absolutely recommended.

ezPDF. Worth the money.

Pros, cons: Adobe Reader, ezPDF, RepliGo

I want to mark up books and papers in odf format.
I have three choices that I see for this: Acrobat Reader, ezPDF and RepliGo.
Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of each app?

There are multiple threads that discuss the best pdf editor.. U should search and read them. They are very informative.
From experience - Best one is ezpdf for editing, many options. Ezpdf is slow when is comes to fast scrolling and does not have continuous page view. U can only view one page at a time.
But when I am reading , but not annotating, I use adobe reader. It loads even large files fast, scrolling is very fast and smooth. However the annotating features are limited and cumbersome.

Does RepliGo have a continous page view?
