Re: What is your favorite reading app on smartphone ?
Ages ago when I was reading my favorite way to read books on my Sony reader was by downloading them from Project Gutenberg which now has over 57,000 free books. I like a lot of books that were written in the 1800s and early 1900s and due to copyright expiration books that were written prior to 1923 or those that are later but not copyrighted can be downloaded for free. So you can get series like some of the great classic authors like Jack London, H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, Edgar Allen Poe, Aldous Huxley, Robert E. Howard, James Joyce, Charles Dickens, Jane Austin, etc. as well as non-fiction from Plato, Pliny, and other philosophical writers. These can be downloaded as Kindle or epub and you can search either by title or author. If you are not familiar with this site you can find it at http://www.gutenberg.org/. They also now have a self-publishing press section where contemporary authors can put up their book for free at http://self.gutenberg.org/.
Actually as I write this and looked up Project Gutenberg, I got the bug again to read some of that great classic literature.
