Hardware & Technical Book readers for Android.

[Necronaught]

Kindle and Google Play Books (lol who came up with that, I hope it was free) utterly useless if you have your books on an SD card. I cannot find any option to use anything I downloaded. My books are legit they come from Humble Bundle. Fortunately I can link my account for the Kindle app but only 11 of the 50ish or so books I have seem to be compatible.

How hard is it to add file/open/location/book = read?

I am currently using Cool Reader. I just slapped that on and boom up came all my books. Anyone know of a workaround or something I can type perhaps? A third party file that will mod the dumb Kindle program? Cool reader is nice and all, I much rather use Kindle for obvious reasons.

I don't know the subject, still prefer my books in a form of a dead tree. However, search showed this page.

Looks like for android they just recommend Adobe. Is this the answer?

I have that also. I prefer Kindle because of being a Prime subscriber and all the perks etc.

You need to download Calibre for your PC. It's an application to manage all your digital books and allows you to convert them from practically any format to practically any format, you can even edit metadata etc. A must have for anyone serious about reading books in digital format.

Also using something like mIrc or hexchat to download books from undernet/bookz or irchighway/ebooks is another neat tool.

Aldiko. IIRC Kindle didn't like ebooks I downloaded but Aldiko did and handles cover art too.
