    What eBook reader apps do you guys use on Android?
    I've been using Aldiko but I'm wondering whether there are better ones out there...

    I've been using Cool Reader for the longest time. I haven't tried a lot of ebook readers out there, but that's because I have found Cool Reader very good.

    I'm using Aldiko too but it's not very good at converting PDF files. You have to download straight from their system. An external PDF file converted to a file compatible with Aldiko tends to be distorted whenever you try to scroll up or down. I use a regular mobile PDF reader with book view. I also like Google Books especially for reading the classics. The app mimics the format of a real book.

    I was able to get the Kindle app to work on my Android. It seems to work the best but I do have the others mentioned as well. On our PC we have Calibre - that seems to have the most books on it. My husband does most of the book downloading though. Amazon.com gives lots of free e-books and the Kindle can open them, so I think that's why I prefer that one. There are more free e-books out there than would be possible to read. Sometimes they aren't the best quality but I have downloaded enough good stuff to keep me willing to rifle though the light weight writers.

    I do not use am ebook reader app till now as I am not sure on how it works. I always thought these apps require you to pay for every book download. But looking at the above reviews I do not think this is the case. I will surely try one of them soon. I hope I will enjoy using them.

    I have iOS and I'm using Kindle app and i think it's the best ebook reader app there is. As far as i know, you can also download it also works on Android phones. I suggest you get this app, it's pretty cool and solid for such a free app and interface is classy. The build-in dictionary is my favorite feature. :p
