On this vacation that some enjoy, reading books is one of the best hobbies for those afternoons in which the heat is pressing, whether in the pool, on the beach or even in the mountains. Having an Android device means that, thanks to the larger screen that we are used to today, we can access the reading of e-books without major worries and with the pleasure of having our books favorites in the internal memory of our smartphone.
On Android we have a good collection of apps for reading e-books and for this reason we are going to comment on the 5 best ones that offer a whole series of advantages to the inveterate reader who looks for those stories of intrigue or love to enjoy them in those hours of leisure that usually star on vacation days with which oneself bill. 5 applications that have everything you can expect from a reading application and of which the Kindle stands out for being the one that offers the best range of possibilities, especially for its vast collection of titles to acquire.
Amazon Kindle
If you have a Kindle reader and a good collection of books bought from amazon, surely you are interested in having this app installed to be able to access any of them from the comfort of your Android tablet or smartphone. You may have left your Kindle at home or simply one of your children is using it, so with the Amazon app you will have access to everything.
One of the advantages of Amazon is the Amazon Prime service it offers some books for free or at a well-discounted price, so you can also buy new titles with which to enjoy enjoyable readings. With the Kindle app you will be able to customize fonts, margins, line spacing and organize the books you have downloaded in the collections so that it is easier to find the one you want to read.
Another advantage is that where you have left the reading on any Kindle device or Fire tablet, you can follow it in the app, which helps to avoid having to search the book for the last page read. A vital app for lovers of reading.
Moon + Reader
The free version of Moon + Reader is a great app in itself and has improved enormously over time. It is one of the oldest that we have always had in Android and in those first years of the OS we made it easy to read all kinds of formats to enjoy reading from a mobile device.
It does not relegate to a service like Amazon's from which you can buy all kinds of books, but it is distinguished by being an app to launch all kinds of formats and be independent. You will need to have the books that you want me to read downloaded in the memory of your smartphones, in order to open them.
Among some of its features, it stands out that it is very customizable, you can change the font, the background color, it offers reading statistics and allows you to have automatic reading so that as you turn pages, the same app does it. It supports formats .epub, .zip, .html, .mobi and .txt. If you are looking for the ad-free version, you can buy the Pro in the Google Play Store.
Nook
We return to an app that has a high quality service just like Amazon Kindle. Nook relies on Barnes & Noble to access a large selection of books, newspapers, and magazines. Barnes & Noble allows you to buy all the content you want, but also the possibility to add your own .epub and .cbz files to the app.
Adjust font size, brightness, line spacing, and more. You can bookmark snippets and synchronize the readings through the different devices on which you have the app installed. Another of its advantages are the profiles so that the whole family can use the purchased books.
An app that has Barnes & Noble with all its experience in the digital sector and one of the recommended ones on the entire list. The only thing that this app is regionally blocked, so those of you who are in the Americas can make use of it.
Aldiko Reader
Aldiko is another app that reaches the same line as Moon Reader to offer a simple and clean interface. An app that allows you to access the Feedbooks Store, to access books by Bram Stoker or Miguel de Unamuno, and also include our own personalized catalog of books. You have options such as day and night, altering the size of the text and the margins by simply tapping on the screen when reading.
You can import your own epubs and pdfs with the application, although you can expect publicity within it. You can remove the ads, gain the widgets and the ability to highlight text and write notes in the epub files if you go for the paid version.
Una Android expert app from the beginning and that is formed as another great alternative.
Google Play Books
We finish the list with the next service included with own Google account and that allows you to access a large repertoire of books, magazines and other digital content designed for reading. Google offers free readings from time to time, so if you are attentive to its own app, which you may have pre-installed on your mobile, you will be able to access great content.
It doesn't measure up to the Amazon Kindle or Nook, but it does make up another great offering of books and magazines. You can read books offline, use a dictionary to look up unknown words and take your notes and place them in the book saved through different devices through your Google account.
