The article first gives a mention to FBReader:
Sadly, FBReader for Android (sometimes called FBReaderJ) doesn’t quite match the maturity of its native Linux counterpart yet. It is missing some of features and lacks compatibility with the broad assortment of e-book formats that are supported by the regular Linux version. Right now, it only supports ePub, OEB, and FB2. The developers plan to enable additional formats in future versions.
Although it’s not the best choice for Android right now, I felt that FBReaderJ was worth mentioning in this article because it has a lot of potential and could be an ideal choice in the future when it achieves feature parity with its native Linux cousin.
It then goes on the discuss Aldiko:
Aldiko is a free ebook reader that was created specifically for Android. It has an excellent feature set and a top-notch user interface. Much like FBReaderJ, its biggest weakness is its lack of compatibility with many popular e-book formats—it only supports ePub.
When you first launch Aldiko, it will display its library management interface, which is designed to look like a bookshelf. The books that you have read recently will appear on the top shelf in a row that you can drag to scroll horizontally. The second row, called the Bookshelf, provides access to your complete e-book library. The third shelf provides access to online archives of free and public domain e-books that you can download over the air.
Of course, there is also Kindle for Android which just announced a major update.
The sad thing about Aldiko AND FBReader: they override mostly all my favorite CSS-Tags, I implemented so nicely in my ePub files.
Therefore the typography of ePubs looks really sad on these programs… 🙁
Stefan, I’m curious, does it override them when you have Enable CSS stylesheets checked? I believe by default it has that unchecked when you first install it so if you haven’t checked it that may be your problem.
Ack, sorry. Forgot to say that option is in Aldiko. I’m not sure about fbreaderj as I use Aldiko mostly exclusively.
