How to Use my android phone no ereader

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

How to Use my android phone no ereader

Post by Hnybdgr8 »

I don't have an ereader but use the Kindle app and Google app. On my android phone. How do I go about reading a book from this site?Are the books I chose free to read once I've added them to my shelves?

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

I use an Android phone as well. I use Kindle, Overdrive, and Xodo and they seem to work great. Xodo is on Goole Play as a free app.

Great idea! I wonder is Star SunOffice is available for Android. It's free to use for desktops.

Try Office suite or ALreader, it works for mobi files or epub. Both have text-to-speach command while sight-reading.

Aldiko is a good app. I have been using it for a while and there have been no problems.

WPS Office is a great one. It has various reading options. It even has eye protection!

Xodo? Never heard of that one. I'll download it and try it out. Thanks for pointing it out!
