Kobo ereader google play books1/13/2024 On the pop-up menu that's already appeared tap the pen icon. When the handle bars appear move them to the start and end of the text to be highlighted. Press and hold on any word of the text to be selected. It's got an excellent, smart-looking user interface (UI) and a look that makes me drool. This ebook reader can open more book formats that I care, or for that matter, knew existed. What follows is my assessment of the above ereaders and my pick. Google Play Books (which came with the phone tried it, hated it, and deleted, but then reinstalled it days ago to give it another look).Kindle (I've had it for many months now).More on that later.įrom the numerous Android reading apps out there, I've chosen only the free versions and have installed the following to evaluate them: But hark! FBreader actually does allow highlighting. If the Wikipedia article is indeed up-to-date then FBreader is one of the few, if not the only, ebook reading app that doesn't allow highlighting.

It must be able to support at the very least the following ebook formats: epub, mobi, pdf, djvu.Was pleasantly surprised that most of them are actually much better than my e-ink Kindle (4th Gen) So I started looking into Android ebook reader apps. I was actually intending to buy a Kobo e-ink reader, but not only are these readers pricey they also have limited on-board memory (I hear that the models which have a micro SD card option are buggy). Since early this year I've been looking for an ereader that has all the features I need (see my requirements below).
