I got this email from Tiffany Wong. Unfortunately I don’t have an Android phone so I can’t check it out. Any of our readers downloaded it yet? If you have, what do you think?
Hello Paul,
My team has been working on an ebook reading application for the Android platform over the last few months. I am excited to announce
that we are officially releasing our app today; it is available for download directly from the Android market.
We have full support for the EPUB format, including table of contents and full CSS styling. The reading experience is fully customizable
(font/background color, font type, margin, night mode, etc.).
Also, we worked closely with Feedbooks to provide seamless access to their huge catalog of free content right from the app. We support the emerging OPDS distribution protocol, which means we’ll be able to add a vast collection of catalogs from other sources in the future, and
we are working hard on making that happen!
We’ve all been closely following Teleread for a while now and would love to hear feedbacks from you and your readers.
For more details regarding our app, please check it out on our website: http://www.aldiko.com

I’m totally new to this whole ebook thing so please excuse me if this question seems stupid. I’ve got an Android Garminphone. I’ve installed Aldiko.
I’ve downloaded books from a couple of sites but only some of them show up when I open Aldiko. I’m not even sure where the others are but they do show up as having been downloaded.
Should I be using some other application? Does each site that has ebooks have its own reader? (that would be annoying.)I’d appreciate any pointers anyone might have.
Thanks
I think there is an SD Card and/or Import option in Aldiko. You might need to browse for the download from there.
