Looking for an ebook reader app forandroud. Are there any recommendations?

Graphene OS PDF Viewer is barely ok to read long pdfs and I dont think it can open epubs?

Best regards,

KOReader, it’s a proper ebook reader app often used in modded kobo. Works well on a standard phone too

I like Librera Reader. The app can view 14 different file types. Tons of options.

For epubs, I like Librera better than Koreader. It’s more of a normal android experience. For example, you can swipe up and down to scroll. Koreader can’t do that, because it’s designed primarily for e-ink screens.

Thank you two for the recommendation but App Lounge warns that librera uses trackers (Google ADMob)

There are two. Did you try both?

  • Librera: all for book reading
  • Librera PRO - Book reader

I’d probably be ok with tracking in the free version. The devs have bills to pay.

Dont think pro is in App Lounge :slight_smile:

Dont mind paying for stuff if its worth it. But most paid app need google stuff for buying them

I have a hard time believing the F-Droid version has Google trackers.

Yeah I forgot to say, it’s the F-Droid release of Librera I recommend. The free one on Google Play has ads, and I’ve never tried the paid version.
