CHAPTER 16: New Media: Reading Newspapers, Magazines, and E-books
339
Aldiko
Aldiko is a free e-book reading app that reads DRM-
free Epub formatted books. You can download some
books through the Android Market for use with
Aldiko, or you can download any Epub book and
place it in the eBooks folder on your DROID’s SD
card.
O’Reilly Media sells DRM-free e-books through the
Android Market specifically for use with Aldiko.
Libris
Libris comes in both a free version, Libris Lite, and a
paid $2.99 app. The paid app offers support for more
book formats, including Mobipocket, Epub, Libris,
PalmDoc, and plain text, but it can’t read any format
with DRM.
You can use Libris to read books on your computer
desktop (if your computer has Java installed) or on
your Android, but the books are not stored online like
they are on some e-readers, so you’ll still need to
physically sync them between devices.
That said, if you’re reading free books or buying them
through the Libris-supported Fictionwise online
library, Libris has a nice user interface and supplies a
free tool for converting text to Libris format at
www.hillbillyinteractive.com.
