Using the android CM 10.2 installs, there have been problems noted for getting the Nook Reader and the crashing of the Amazon Kindle App. I'm doing this thread so a not to hijack the Kindle thread in Q&A.
Reading is the main thing I do with the HD. Not a gamer and but do like browsing, Email, and texting(Mighty Text). I use the Moon plus reader books I read. The app can be used for .epub, .mobi, pdf, and almost all the other formats for books. The books can be stored in any folder(s) you specify on your device or Dropbox. You can synchronize reading on different devices too. It formats the text well enough that I can actually use my phone to read. I don't know if it can keep track of different people reading and using the same device.
As far as I'm concerned, the Moon+ Reader is THE best but it is a paid app. I just looked and it's on Sale for $2.50! http://moondownload.com/
Thanks for the tip on mighty text. I was wondering if that was possible to do texting from the tablet. I think I may give it a try.
And I have the free version of moon+. This might be the time to buy the full version.

EBookDroid imo
Moon-Reader seems a bit slow flipping through the pages on a PDF , it sorta bugs me
EBookDroid imho is the much better it lets you change a lot of settings for example preload the pages of the PDF ahead of time so by the time you scroll down there already rendered .. It also has the ability to read comics, browse your local network and best of all its free

You might try Zo reader. I've been using it on my NC for over a year and now added it to the readers on my HD+. Works a treat.

A little late to the party here, but I wanted to add that you don't only have to use Overdrive for checked out books. I use Calibre Companion, and when I try to open a book after importing it from Calibre I have the option to use Overdrive as the reader. Then Overdrive will import it and, viola! It's really very simple and painless. The only possible drawback is that you end up with 2 copies of the book: one in the folder you have set for Calibre Companion to save its books, and one in the Overdrive folder. This probably only works for epubs. Overdrive is by far the best epub reader I have found for Android besides the built-in reader in the stock Nook firmware, and it's free. (There are a couple other promising epub readers, SlickPub and Fabrik, but I don't think either of them are where they need to be yet).
Aldiko, and Mantano but I like the layout and shelf view of Aldiko the best.
thanks, i am using it now.
I love mantano reader... It seemsbuilt better than any other i have tried
Nook Reader
I actually like the Nook Android app for its clean user interface, easy look up function, choice of font sizes, search, etc.
However it can't be installed on CM 10 or 11 directly from the Google Play store... not compatible with the device. But I copied it from my phone and side loaded it easily. Why is that? I don't know. Other than the irony.

Playing around with CM7 and I'm not all that keen on the Nook app, so I want to try and find a replacement. I use calibre on my PC and I also use the calibre library app, which will allow you to specify the download location.
The problem with Aldiko seems to be that you have to put the book on your NC first (doesn't matter where) and then import it. I'd like to have it so that when calibre puts it there, the reader sees it and we're good to go, but with Aldiko, I have to import after it's on the NC and then I have two copies of every book, unless I do some sort of cleanup.
Any suggestions on a cleaner way to use Aldiko or a different app, given what I'm using? I don't have to use the calibre library app either - if I can just set a download location that the reader will pick up without jumping through hoops.
ive never had a problem with aldiko duplicating books on import i was under the impression that it just indexed the location on the sd card

Double check it. It duplicates for me by moving the book into it's library structure on the sdcard and leaving the old one where it is.
I think I'm liking FBreader right now. Surprised no one has any input on this...
I'm a fan of moon reader myself.
I use coolreader but I don't use Calibre so I can't help you there. I suspect your problem with Aldiko has to do with importing books into Aldiko rather than just opening them. I noticed that if I choose import after pointing the program at the book location on the sd card it makes a copy and puts it on my shelf thingie. if I don't import (and let it make the copy) I don't get the cover on my shelf.
Doesn't anyone here use the Nook for Android app? The most latest one look pretty slick, although it can get a bit laggy, especially if you're like me, who has like thousands of ebooks.
Aldiko is great but I have the same problem. I would love to use the "Send to device" function, in Calibre.
I image the problem lies in the setup, there must be a way to setup a custom device and tell it where the files should go.

Maybe I'm old-school, but I use the Nook app for all my B&N books, which is mostly what I have. It's generally my go-to so far for the public domain books too, but I haven't read much lately outside of PDFs for work using ezPDF. The last update that added magazines etc made it much nicer and more stable for me.
I like the B&N Nook app okay, but the organization seems to be a tad lacking to me. You can only do 'recent', 'title' and 'author' and you can't do a simple list (just words) either.
Aldiko, for example, will do series. FBreader will do tags and you can set favorites. And so on.
At least the app has a decent night mode vs the grey that's on stock. But shelves might be nicer I think. And adding some of the other stuff as well.

I was on aldiko previously until they have issues with calibre opds format lately. I have moved to fbreader as opds works great but now I have another issue. Fbsync doesn't seem to work when trying to sync bookmarks. Whenever I click sync it will force close. It works on my attic though...

Thanks a lot khatsyus! I missed those!
One thing I *really* like is the ability to use Aldiko and put a shortcut to a book right on the home screen.
Hm...My ideal reader:
Shortcuts to open books on home screen (like stock)
Recognize books in directory without need to "import" (everything but Aldiko, I think)
Autoscroll (moon+)
Recognize Tags (all but nook)
"Last reading" - FBReader opens right to the page of the last book you were reading which is essentially just like the stock "Last Reading" button from the status bar.
Organization/Collections (aldiko, moon+)
Ability to see and use TOC from details without opening book (nook)
Multiple bookmarks (can't figure out how to even add a bookmark in nook app, it just puts one wherever you left off automatically.
On a side note, does anyone else find that the nook app does't honor screen timeouts or anything? It just keeps the display powered up and running. Accidentally ran my nook down completely because of it.
Slightly off the main topic, but I found this article yesterday about how to use either Aldiko or Moonreader along with Calibe and Dropbox to access your entire ebook library anywhere. I currently have 646 ebooks on my laptop and don't have them all on my different devices, so as long as I have WiFi or 3G I can connect and add any books I want to my Nook or phone.
http://www.anamardoll.com/2011/03/ereader-library-in-cloud.html
I'm using Aldiko now (and the Nook app for any of my downloads from B&N, which is actually pretty few) and the only option it doesn't have that I want is the ability to synch the app between devices so if I'm reading on my Nook it will remember the page so I can continue from the same spot on my phone. Does Moonreader have an option like that?
I've been using coolreader for months and really like it. Free and I haven't found anything that I want to do frustrated.
I had been using the nook for android app, and it does work quite well. However I figure there are alternative readers out there and I would be doing myself a dis-service if I did not check a few of them out to see what else is available. So I installed moon reader and so far it is working nicely for me. I particularly like the night themes as they are very easy on my eyes.

What kind of sharing options does Moon+ have? Is there any type of option that will post the page you're on or percentage complete like Goodreads does? (I can't get the Goodreads app to work on my rooted Nook)
Definitely souring on Aldiko. Have some books that it is chopping up on-screen (dropping words/sentences from end/beginning of pages). Pulled up the same pages in fbreader and no problems. I've never had that issue in the nook app. Gotta try moon reader now...

Anyone know if its possible and how I can use the built in eBook reader to read my own books in either epub or pdf format? I couldn't find the local storage directory for downloaded books. If there's no way, any suggested ebook readers that have a similar asthetic feel to the built in reader? Lumiread on the Acer iconia is really nice, but it doesn't appear to be downloadable anywhere. Aldiko is serviceable, but I don't really like the look and feel. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I didn't try pdf but I can read my epub books from sdcar with default reader. You can import your books to your shelf, then can read easily.
Better to use default reader to use full pen function, therefore I don't prefer any 3rd party ebook reader.
I've mostly been using FBreader for .epub books. Don't think it supports pdfs, though.
I prefer moon+ reader over aldiko myself. I use the pay version so I'm not to clear what features the free version has or I'd post them. Available at the Android market.

The ereader in View/Flyer will automatically import any epub it finds in SD or internal sd. I have created a folder and named it books with all my magazine's, books, etc.. and works very well for me. Whenever
I add something it imports it and ready to view quickly.

I'll echo this, even though it took a minute to get it to work. If you have trouble getting the reader to find your epub files, go onto the app settings and click the "clear data" button. Then restart your Flyer. That allowed the reader to find the files.
I just wish it could read Kindle books.

i use the Flyer mainly as an ereader and i've pretty much tested all the reader apps out here...i stuck with Aldiko...it doubles up on the data storage by 'importing' the books on the device, but it is the most stable without adds
and you can set up your Calibre library as a server using a no-ip address and connect to it via wifi or 3G from within Aldiko (or just access your library via a web browser)
it really is a great setup

So did I I dismissed Aldiko after finding out it didn't support highlighting. And why I'd love to get the included reader app to work as I want it... The pen highlighting is awesome.
I finally ended up with Mantano Reader. The two advantages is the fact that it doesn't double up my books and it supports highlighting. It doesn't even add things to my ebook library, but keeps a shadow folder structure where it puts the (extracted) covers and it has a sqlite db where it saves extra info.
The only drawback is the fact that doesn't read whole font-families. So the italic (especially noticeable) is the internal one and not the one that belongs to your font family...
Not sure about the connection to Calibre, I use my browser to go to my Calibre library (or an USB cable...)

Want sure if this is the right forum for posting this, but I wanted to get you guys' insight into this.
I'm a big fan of HTC's reader app, but unless you have a Kobo account you're left to converting epub and mobi files in Calibre. This is typically the case for me as most of my books have come from either Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Could you guys that have Kobo give some insight into the service? How dies it compare to Amazon and B&N? What about selection size?
Sent from GrandAdmiral's phone using Tapatalk.
You don't have to use calibre to convert epubs. They are natively supported. Just restart your flyer and they import. If you get a request for your username and password, contact Barnes and noble. It's something like your B&N username and last 4 of card used to purchase. All of my books auto import now. I have not purchased from kobo yet, and don't use calibre.

I have been using Kobo since picking up the Flyer. I believe you will find it an excellent service once you have your account set up on the tablet. When I buy a book using the Kobo reader app I just enter in my password for a purchase and it begins a down load right to the Flyer. I have used Mobi pocket and have downloaded from project gutenberg also.
Kobo was Indigo/Chapters, the Barnes & Noble of Canada. (It was recently sold to Rakuten (of Japan).)
Books show up on it a few weeks after release on Amazon and B&N. Selection, otherwise, seems about the same. Prices equivalent to B&N on my comparison shopping on a few items, and both about $1/item over Amazon.
However, so far, only Amazon carries the book that my son was a co-authored, called Reinventing Fire.
OTOH stay away from the Kobo Vox, their Kindle Fire competitor.
You know, I really like the Reader app. The aesthetics of it are nice, the animations are slick, the pinch to zoom, non-square-and-plain highlighting--like it all. I've purchased a few books through Kobo, and had no problems what-so-ever, and their prices were good.
However...
I do a lot of highlighting and note-taking, and want a backup of those. I found no indication that the Reader backs-up or syncs to the cloud (and when I asked HTC on Facebook, they agreed that it does not.) So, I switched to Kindle. I tried both Nook and Kindle apps, and like the Kindle functionality the best. I'm wrapping up a few books in Reader, but then will be all Kindle (again, just 'cause of the cloud-sync business.)

There are plugins which you can use. Search for "apprentice alf". That should point you in the right direction.
About the native reader app, I never use it. Not enough settings. The margin is way too wide (top and bottom). This makes it unusable to me.

you can customise everything...fonts and colours and how to turn the pages and sort by tags and collections...but most importantly, the non-proprietary reader software don't own and take over your books
i recommend sticking to epub format because they are the only true open formats...having all your books in a proprietary format leaves you stuck with that provider, and if you are already on xda i assume you don't get a kick of being told how you have to use something
go with Mantano Reader...in my tests it was the most comprehensive (this from a chick with over 780 books in her collection, so this was a bit of an important subject for me...i sold my Asus Transformer because it wasn't comfortable as an ereader)
also, learn how to use Calibre to manage your collections...i have my library on a server as an opds catalog, which Mantano can access, and i also have it hosted on a no-ip domain
http://calibre-ebook.com/
I use Moon Reader Pro. I have customized a lot of the viewing options and love it. If you use Ivona, you can use TTS to have the book read out loud.
I used Calibre to convert my 300 books from www.ereader.com because I am afraid it is going to go under. I had been using that site for over a decade for my ebooks. The website has really gone down since BN bought it out about 3 years ago and they have not updated their Android app since the beta release.
Anyone know of a good epub or pdf reader that does the paper/page animation when swiping between pages?
I tested a couple online and they either garble up my epubs or just crash or loop when loading
The stock Asus "my library" has a great page turning animation function and is good for reading epubs and PDF 's. You can select it by opening any PDF or epub in the file manager.
I also found "mantano reader" which has a great note taking ability within the epub or PDF, however it does not have a cool page turn animation. I need this function for notes at school...
Both great readers
Nook is the cleanest imo. Takes epubs, just place then in the nook/mydocuments directory

If you're into comic reading, there is nothing better on the market than ComicRack (has a paired desktop app to for organizing and sync) it's the best one I've used (wanted to read Blackest Night & Civil War events on my Droid) none of the others worked as good as it does.
Given your comics are in the comic format (cbz, cbr, etc).

My NT16 is on CM7 over SD card. I like it. All my books in both ePub and PDF are sideloaded via Calibre, and now need recommendations of what ebook readers to use? Also I bought EZPdf Reader from B&N before I started using CM7, so now how do I download it again to CM7?
Thanks!
Aldiko is the one I have found that most closely replicates the reading experience of the stock B&N app. You can also set up aldiko to browse calibre directly through the web interface to download books wirelessly. With the proper port forwarding, you can connect to calibre from anywhere in the world as long as it is open.
Another vote for Aldiko here.
I use Aldiko too, but lately I've noticed it getting slower and slower. It gives me a loading bar on every single page turn now.
I'm not sure why.
Moon+ is acceptable too, though it isn't quite as good.

You could always download the Nook app from the Android Market and continue using it the same way you did on stock - that's what I did.
FBReader is my number one choice in epub readers. It is not as pretty as some others but it has a clean design at focused on reading. When you open FBReader it opens directly to the last book and page you were at. The library is accessed from the menu along with the network libraries like feedbooks, smash books and others.

I know this is a Barnes and Noble device, but I like the Amazon Kindle app. It is the only app I have found that will reliably sync between my nook and my android phone. I do a LOT of reading, and don't like to waste time finding my place over and over. It does not have the customization that the others do, but the whispersync service more than makes up for that, in my opinion.

I use Aldiko too, but lately I've noticed it getting slower and slower. It gives me a loading bar on every single page turn now.
I'm not sure why.
Moon+ is acceptable too, though it isn't quite as good.

I also use the Adobe reader for the PDF files. I read the Beacon Journal (Newspaper) every day. I tried Aldiko and other PDF readers. Not surprisingly the Adobe reader was the best. There was way to much lag with the others.
