I'm using both Kindle and Aldiko Premium but lately I'm not satisfy with Aldiko's features like there's missing something and I'm looking for more like what Sarah_Khan said about searching for a definition without having to exit the book or the app itself. Well most of you use Moon Reader. So, I'm gonna try that and Kobo as well. I think it's time for change ;-)

If you have a smartphone, live in the US, and try to save money Overdrive is the best app. It connects with your library card to your library or libraries. You can never have late fees, there's a wide selection, multiple formats, you can even send ebooks to your nook or kindle, and you can request books as well as getting new releases to read for free. When I lost my job this really helped keep my spirits up without draining my wallet.

I have both the Nook and IBooks app. The Nook app syncs with my Nook reader. This is nice when you want to continue a book but you do not have your ereader with you.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

The Kindle app does the same thing, syncing with the Kindle. It'll also sync with Audible audiobooks so you can read a book on the Kindle, listen to the audiobook on your phone or read the book in the Kindle app on your phone and each of those will know where you left off on the others.

I also have a Kobo reader but I never used the Kobo app so I don't know if it syncs or not.

I absolutely love the kindle app. I love book discussions and being able to share what I'm reading with others and Kindle has Goodreads hooked into it.

The only apps I've used are iBooks, Kindle, and nook. Kindle is what I use most. I like being able to change font style & size, easily highlight & make notes, skip through the novel as needed, put my books into collections, etc. I do wish it were easier to delete books I do not plan to reread. It would just make it easier to find the books I haven't read yet. I also like that it syncs easily the the app on my Kindle Fire.
That being said, I really like Serial Reads on the B&N nook.
