I'd like to recommend Moon+ Reader. It's a great eBook reader, supporting EPUB, MOBI, and PDF, as well as other formats. (I've never tried the PDF viewer, though.) It's very lightweight, and always perfectly remembers your reading position. It has a night mode that is easy to toggle, though not automatic (unless that is a pro feature). You can set it up so you can read page by page or by scrolling -- or both at once. You can also use the volume keys to turn pages, which is great if you read while wearing gloves. There is plenty of layout and font customization.
The free version has ads, but they are super unobtrusive -- only at the bottom of the library screen and sometimes when switching from the book to the library. You never see an ad when opening the app or while reading, unless you accidentally bump the back button. It's not even as much advertising as a Kindle with Special Offers.
The Pro version is half-off (US$2.49) through the end of August. It adds a few features like TTS, sync, and more customization. I just bought it today with my Google Opinion Rewards credit.

The trick is to look for e-book readers with PDF support rather than PDF readers. I've personally been using Moon+ Reader. I usually go for open source-stuff, but Moon+ is really high quality. It's got a crazy amount of customization options.
Moon+ Reader by far, IMO - loads of options and customizations.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
There's a free version and a pro version that goes on sale multiple times in a year. See if it fits your needs.
Are there any features that you're looking for in particular ? "best" can be kinda vague...
Will you be Downloading books before you go?
As Kindle works without internet once you've downloaded the books in the app.
Moon+ Reader also: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader&hl=en
Moon+ Reader has a feature where you can long press on a word and get the definition in a pop-up, you just need to install one of the supported dictionary apps.
Once I download them, I rename them all to "01.png", " 02.png", etc and zip them up. Then I rename that to a .cbz file and import it into Moon+ Reader, my preferred eBook/comic app.
I'm not sure what app that is, but Photos orders images by age so you could move them from one directory to another, one by one, last page to first page, to get them to show up in the right order. You could also try renaming them to numbers with the same number of digits. In some conventions "10.png" comes before "2.png", but if you renamed it "02.png" that should preserve the order.
I've always used Moon+ Reader and it's awesome. I like the shelf and widget layouts, dark theme, and use the Text to speech feature a lot. =]

The stories I read are mostly the ones I find recommended in the weekly fanfic threads in this sub. I usually stay away from long stories unless they both catch my interest and are highly praised here. And even then they might stay in my Read Later list for a few years first. Chapter length doesn't bother me. I've read multiple stories with multiple chapters of over 10k words each (like Fallout Equestria and The Immortal Game).
I just checked the length of the fics I've read, and 13 of the 78 I've marked as read was at over 100k words. The 4 longest makes for more than half of the total words.
I never read stories directly on fimfiction, aside from the occasional 1k words story. Instead I download an epub from fimfiction and read it on my phone or tablet with the app Moon+ Reader. It feels like a chore to go through all the settings and get everything right, but it works great once you're done. Most of my reading is done in bed before I go to sleep and on the bus to/from college.

Pro version does have a 'speak' feature - and it does work except it does use Google TTS so it will most likely use data (IMO - could be a 'fair amount of data'). Also it is pay for software at least Pro version is.

I started reading ebooks on a 7" tablet. I migrated to my small, cheap smartphone. I found that I preferred it.
Everyone likes different things. I find one handed reading incredibly convenient, and I always have hundreds of books with me. Admittedly, I prefer small text, so that might influence it.
My point? Try different things. See what works for you. Personal preferences differ. I personally prefer Moon+ Reader, and you can find free ebooks at Project Gutenberg.
There isn't any reason not to have books on your phone as well! They are tiny and many are free. Anything where the author has been dead for 60+ years is in the public domain, like Sherlock Holmes, etc.
Já sugeriram aí.....
Eu no seu lugar compraria um Tablet fuleira, baratinho, só pra instalar e rodar o
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
e / ou Xodo. Experimente já no celular ou Tablet seu ou de amigo pra ter uma ideia dos recursos de visualização, anotação, etc.
Mais importante o tamanho (e qualidade da tela) que memória e cpu em si. Só veja os requisitos minimos desses apps.
Ou compre um Kindle Paperwhite se quiser gastar um pouco mais. Costuma ter umas promos boas dele na C&A e própria Amazon, uns cupons de R$100, dê uns googles.
You've done a really great job with the design of the app. Really love it. The selection of fonts and theme colors is great, Pure Black theme on an OLED screen is a pure joy :D (I got the 4th Android redeem code, thanks). Two small improvements I can think of:

Try Moon Reader. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
Highlight the quotes/paragraphs and then there's a share function so you can upload it to a cloud. I've tried it on Google Drive. Title of the book and author name included.
> Who else has PDF tips or recommendations?
8''+ Android device with at least 2 GBs of RAM and a reasonable ROM + Moon Reader.
Usually works like a charm.
...Unless we're discussing WH40k PDFs. Overloaded, far from being optimized, navigation is damn awful.
Epub download on my phone + Moon+ Reader + almost an hour with bus each way to school. Then I read some more before going to bed if the story really catches my interest. That's how I've done most of my fanfic reading.
My biggest challange is to start reading a story, because I almost never feel like reading when I'm not in the process of reading a story. If I just force myself to get properly started reading a fic then I usually finish it in a timely manner.
Hi.
This may sound dumb, but I don't like the idea of extending music making to a phone in a desperate attempt to learn/be productive.
Still, an ebook/pdf reader is always nice in general if you can't go with the real thing. Moon+ Reader on Android is nice with highlights, hand-drawn annotations, etc. Stock PDF Reader for WP.
Moon+ is the reader I use for ebooks, PDFs, comics(cbz/cbr) and it handles them all magnificently. The pro version has a bunch of extra goodies and is worth every penny, but give the free version a shot and see if it gives you a better experience. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
I have no idea about comics specifically -- I gather they require some special handling on the part of the reader software -- but for textual EPUBs I use Moon+ Reader and am pretty happy with it. They also claim to support CBZ and PDF.
Honestly your best bet might be reading some books, phone will last longer. Get MoonReader and download some (public domain and legal!) Ebooks. Kindle app is good as well if you don't mind spending some money.
Ok, so epub is pretty standard ebook formatting, and most reader apps can open it, including Kindle, Nook, and Calibre. I've never heard of Covers, but since I don't read comics online, so I have no way of knowing if it's compatible. Sounds like it's not. May be a comic formatting thing.
I use Moon+ Reader here in Google play, and it works like a charm. It's free, and let's you edit title,, author, and book cover. You have to import books to moonreader from their saved location on your device (I keep a dedicated ebook SD card for this purpose, but a file folder will work too.) After the books have imported, you should be able to view them.
Moon+ Reader and Z-lib also work on smartphones.
Fair warning, the formating of the actual text can be a little off sometimes. It's still legible, but sometimes it just doesn't adjust to screen size well. It's still not a bad deal for free though.
There's really lots of readers on the app stores, but since we are on r/manga, how about Moon+ Reader? Seems to work for pdf, epub, even cbz files, pretty much covers most comic/ manga needs. Get the Pro version if you like it.
Damn this rings so true about me lately.
I use Moon+ Reader app to (both) read and listen/transcribe the ePub books on my phone and it sure helps.
Here's a play store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
The best android app for ebooks, IMO, is Moon+ Reader
It does annotations really well. Underline, highlight...
It can sync your active books through Drive or Dropbox, if you go from free to pro, you have to have the app do a backup and restore it in the pro version (there's a faq on their home page).
However, I don't think it share's those notes/highlites. I tried it with bookdroid and saw no highlights.
You might need to use an app like Calibre to convert all your epubs to PDF to share annotations. Maybe try an epub reader like Xodo.
Here's an EPUB with this article! It's not perfect but it's good enough for Kindle or browser reading
edit: a great Android reader alternative is MoonReader if you'd rather read on your phone
I think Moon+ reader allows you to view ePub formats. Also, I think Google lets you have a choice on what format you download the book in (ie, PDF).
I use Moon+ reader, but I bought the Pro version years ago. They often have it half price. But I think the basic version has the calibre integration. If so, it works well. You can browse your Calibre library from within the app, by name, author, series, newest, etc. You can view the metadata, and import the books directly into the reader.
I read a lot, and have tried all the ebok readers multiple times, but none have ever lasted more than several minutes compared to Moon+. It also syncs multiple Android devices via Dropbox or Google Drive.
I use a ten inch tablet and have moon+ reader and perfect viewer installed.
moon+ reader is set to night mode and the brightness is turned way down so it doesn't bother me really much.
perfect viewer is a great comic book reader and the 10 inch display (1900x1200) is the ideal size for comics.
I laos use it for netflix and hulu from time to time, but reading is the big reason I own it.
You do have to pay for this reader(4.99?), but it is top notch. Goes really well with some of the IVONA voices for text-to-speech. Has different reading modes, timed text-to-speech, and other options. ..
Edit: i just saw that it destroys your epubs that you make. Are you using calibre to convert to epub?
if you're reading from ao3 you can download the fic and then open it with Moon+ Reader. If not... i guess reading on your browser of choice
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader&hl=en
I can recommend Moon+ reader for Android. Even if you're not using an e-reader, the epub format can have a number of advantages.
Me gusta moon+ reader para libros y para comics/manga uso Challenger Comics Viewer, se ve vieja pero es lo mejorcito que hay para mi gusto
Android - Moon+ Reader
Linux - Calibre
Both of them support PDF viewing as well as other formats such as .EPUB and .MOBI and many more. If you want something simple just use Moon+ Reader and if you want something a little more advanced with the ability to use plugins use Calibre.
Hmm, but what about Moon+ Reader and Librera as books leader. Arent they good enough?
I highly recommend also trying just reading on your phone. I prefer the small form factor for one handed reason, plus you probably already have the device. Just make sure to try different background colours, fonts, and text sizes to find what you might be comfortable using.
I personally use Moon+ Reader as my app (white text, black background), and I recommend checking out Project Gutenberg for some free ebooks (eg, Sherlock Holmes, etc)
Moon+ Reader is my top fave for pdfs and ebooks
> Support EPUB, PDF, DJVU, AZW3, MOBI, FB2, PRC, CHM, CBZ, CBR, UMD, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, HTML, MD(MarkDown), WEBP, RAR, ZIP or OPDS
It's highly customizable which is what I really love about it. It supports TTS but I can't remember if it's in the free version or not. It wasn't expensive though, just $4.99. It's an amazing app and I've never used another eReader that I love as much as this one.

I used Astonishing Comic Reader, but I think it was abandoned too. It's been a while since I've read any comics, but I think I moved to Moonreader .
I don't think it has a line feature but I have used Moon+ Reader for a long time. Perhaps there are better out there but I find it very versatile.
Moon Reader Supports Both screens on my LG V60 (Must get Wide Mode for Lg then in Moon Reader Settings under Miscellaneous check dual page layout and in the settings gear next to that uncheck Automatic Dual Page mode by foldable phone.)
After you have the Settings set pull down notification bar tools and engage Wide Mode.
Hope this helps you.

One thing to remember is that it's entirely possible to do BOTH physical books and ebooks. You don't have to choose one or the other. You can do both. There's absolutely no reason not to have an ebook app on your phone and download some free books from Project Gutenberg. Spend some spare time reading Sherlock Holmes instead of Facebook when you're out and about. Ebooks take up no space on your phone. Why not?
I got into ebooks with a 7" tablet. I upgraded to just using my small, cheap smartphone (one handed reading is awesome). I started reading ebooks because I was on the road for work, and ebooks were far more portable when you're a fast reader.
While many people talk about the experience of physical books, I personally now find ebooks a much more enjoyable experience. I have had friends try to loan me a physical book, and I'll just buy the ebook.
My ebook app is Moon+ Reader, and I prefer white text on a black background. The nice thing about ebooks is that you can make the appearance whatever you want. Big/small text, dark/light background, whatever. It's flexible.
Ich les schon seit Jahren auf meinem Honor 8X mit dem Moon+ reader. Hat Gdrive und Onedrive Anbindung und lässt sich super für alle Lebenslagen konfigurieren.
>* but I have a recommendation if you're interested (I forgot the name of it at the moment)
Do you mean Moon Reader? If you haven't used it, give it a try. It includes many books too and has unique features including reading the books.
Calibre can be used to convert between file types. You can also use different ereader apps which might be able to view more files.
My personal preference is 100% definitely Moon+ Reader. Absolutely phenomenal.
I've been using Moon+ Reader for years and am very happy with it. Works flawlessly, can sync between devices and it opens everything I throw at it.
Moon+ Reader is a fantastic reading app for Android. Besides having a ton of customization available for fonts, font and paragraph spacing, margins and more, it also tracks reading statistics for things like length of time read, pages read, reading speed in WPM (estimated), and so on. It's a really great app.
It has free and paid versions:
I use the pro version. Only big difference is the free version has an ad bar and less themes/customization, but otherwise same functionality.
The Boox Nova 2 (and older Boox Nova and Nova Pro) is fully compatible with Calibre, and I've had zero issues transferring all my books to it. As a bonus, it even supports AZW and AZW3 format, so I didn't even need to reconvert the books I've already de-DRMed from Amazon, just sent them right over.
The Boox Nova 2 is an Android-based eReader, so anything you can find on the Android marketplace works on it. I mainly just use Moon+ Reader for regular books and Perfect Viewer for CBZ files (manga).
The built in Neo Reader program on the Boox is actually good, but I like better stats and customization. I will say Neo Reader has great PDF auto-cropping (yay, no more using Briss, ever), and reflow functionality, but otherwise I prefer Moon+ reader.
> page flipping animation on iBooks
I looked it up and damn that looks really smooth and impressive!
I don't know any Android app with similar effects, but for simple reading of EPUB format books I've found Lithium Reader to do everything I'd need. Book gallery, dark/night mode, font size adjustment, reader style (vertical/pages) settings, etc.
EDIT: Apparently (from the description) Moon+ Reader has a "3D page turning effect", but can't say how close to what you want it is.
I use Moon Reader as it has a cloud feature that lets you save your progress across you multiple devices. I download my light novels and upload them on Dropbox. Then they are accessible through Moon Reader. If you don't like Moon Reader, you can try Google Play Books and upload the light novels there. Has the same cloud features as Moon Reader, so you can read on any device. Just less feature packed. You can also try novel library for web novels.
Epubs are a special file type, it's best read on mobile (or a tablet), and if you're on Android I'd recommend using Moon+ reader. You can find epub readers for PC as well, but as I said I think it's much more enjoyable on a phone.
>The apps that have "premium features" the ones that make money off the archive. They're illegal.
First, my reader app is Moon+ Reader and it's 100% legal.
Second, it's not illegal to make money off an original app you developed, with original filtering features you designed, to navigate a publicly accessible website like AO3.
Third, I understand AO3 is a nonprofit. I understand the content it hosts should never make money. I know I, as a fic author, should never make money off AO3. I don't understand how an unofficial app with original, labor-intensive programming that presents AO3's data in a unique and valuable way, with a talented programmer's filtering features (like AO3's blacklist & whitelist features), should be held against commercializing. When I'm given a load of numbers and I want a buncha graphs and recommendations based on those numbers, I'll hire for it. AO3=the numbers, graphs & recs=unofficial apps. Unofficial analysis and presentation of publicly available data via AO3 (and/or any other nonprofit's publicly posted data) is completely allowed, and completely legal to commercialize.
Paywalls - anything that blocks you from either accessing or finishing a publicly-available fanfic - is the only illegal thing that an app or website can do.
If you're downloading on mobile, you need an app to open those books. For Android, Google Play Books usually works, but you can also try Moon+ Reader, which has worked for me in the past.
If you already have a tablet or phone, check out Moon+ Reader. I linked the free version; there's a "pro" version as well that often goes half off. It's great and supports a ton of formats, including PDFs. Very worth it.
Regarding e-reader devices, all are easy enough to sideload IMO. The more relevant question would be what size display and features you want, and what ecosystem you tend to pay for books on when not sideloading.
This page shows you what you can do with the annotation features. You can't do freehand drawing/sketching, but you can highlight/underline, add notes and even use a dictionary within the app itself.
Get the Pro version if you read a lot, although I still to prefer to read books on my tablet instead of my Note.
I would personally get whatever tablet you want, use Calibre, and then find a third party reading app. I personally use Moon+ Reader and really love it.
What's nice is with a regular tablet, you can root it, use whatever OS you want, get rid of all the bloatware, and then just use all the space for your books.
Yes, we use our Chromebooks (2-in-1, but we frequently read in laptop mode) as ebook readers. We use the Android Moon+ Reader:
​
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader
Personally I just read books on my phone via Moonreader. It's not as nice an experience as the kindle but it's so much more convenient.
Very cool. Leo where can I buy a non-DRM ebook so I can read it in the eReader of my choice (Moon) rather than some crap eReader (Kindle, Kobo, eBook)?
It depends on what format your ebooks are in and whether they have DRM - if you're buying from Amazon then you'll want the Kindle app, if you're buying from Bookwalker you'll want the Bookwalker app etc. For ebooks without DRM, the Kindle app and Google Play Books are both easy to use and I've often seen Moon+ Reader recommended.
I tend to use moon+ reader.

Book Reader (Simple book reader) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.github.axet.bookreader
I haven't found one that already has the novel on them, BUT! Moon+Reader has a great interface that lets you add catalog and link with other accounts so you can read on your phone. I started using it while I was looking for a good Text to Speech reader and its great. I usually get epub files, but it works with all types of files. I liked it to my gdrive and dropbox so I can just read anything that I add to my accounts. You should give it a try.
Moon+ Reader. It's an android app. Clean and complete app to read major types of e-book format. Also my favorite mobile PDF reader.
There's also a pro with advanced features. Bought that and now a very satisfied customer : )
Edit: grammar is hard
I read all my books on my phone. Epubs or Mobi's work great in Moon+ Reader. For PDF's I use Perfect Viewer.

There are PDF reader apps for android like Moon+ Reader that offer a Text Reflow option. It basically converts the pdf into an ebook, making it extremely easy to read.
Moi j'utilise mon smartphone avec Moon+ Reader. C'est très pratique, y a plein d'options pour rendre ta lecture parfaite sans te bouffer les yeux. À tel point que j'ai perdu 2h de sommeil dessus.

Moon+ Reader for ebooks, and Shuttle for music. I may buy Poweramp soon to replace that.
If you are on Android, Moon reader allows speech to text on any ebook (pdf or epub)
And you can use Pocket to listen to articles offline during your commute.
Speech to text quality has improved a lot over time. Its extremely useful, as finding audiobook for many of the ebooks is not easy.
I throw the PDF/ePub files on to Google Books and just used the Google Books app since it keeps track of where I'm reading. Another popular alternative is to store them directly on your device and use Moon+.
You're not going to be able to do either unless you're at a computer but I personally find it better than using an app or browser to read.
If you actually did put them on your device, check the downloads application or download something like ES File Explorer and check if they are in your downloads folder. Then if they are, try Moon Reader, it can handle many different formats of books.

An excellent book, by the way. If anyone's interested in reading it you can get a copy here: https://archive.org/details/DarkAllianceTheCIATheContrasAndTheCrackCocaineExplosionGaryWebb1998
It's in epub format which you can read with calibre or SumatraPDF as well as most ebook apps (i.e. Moon+ or FBReader).
This one is REALLY good:
If it's this 9.7 inch one then get moon+reader for reading and Perfect Viewer for comics. A larger screen is great for both.
I don't know how you were only finding crappy EPUB readers, but here's what I use:
Android: Moon+ Reader has a clean interface, tons of features, and is infinitely customizable. It also supports HTML so you can use it with your existing files too. Their Pro Version is currently on sale at 50% off and includes things like removal of ads, adds PDF support, text-to-speech, and more.
PC: I personally just use Calibre as it's free, supports every PC OS, includes ebook library management tools, ebook reader(you can even specify custom CSS), ebook converter(so you can convert HTML to EPUB, or vice versa), and includes an EPUB editor so you can create your own from scratch if you have HTML and CSS skills. There's also a companion app for Android that makes syncing/copying parts of your ebook library to your phone/tablet a breeze,
Personally, I use Moon+ Reader. I'm not aware of there being a version of calibre for Android, but there are quite a few epub readers to choose from.
I don't think that removing the DRM from Kobo books is very difficult (though obviously that depends on how tech-savvy you are). Physical books are obviously easier to deal with though. Either way, I won't buy books that I can't have DRM-free.
However, it does get pretty bad with Nook, since their Windows store application is the only version that works for Windows now, and it hasn't been cracked, so you're forced to use their Android app to get at the DRM-free copies, which means either using a rooted phone or actually running an Android VM on your PC. Removing the DRM from Kobo and Amazon books is way less of a pain (though Kindle has a similar problem in that you have to run an older version of their Windows application; it still works though, unlike the old Nook applications). Alternatively, you can shell out money for Epubor, though as I understand it, that means giving the application your login info, which isn't great (it's understandable given what it needs to do, but it requires trusting what's essentially a random application you buy online). The free solution has worked well enough for me with Kobo though.
Best ebook app is Moon+ Reader, by a long shot. Use this, it has what you want.

I read all my books on my phone and tablet. Epubs or Mobi's work great in Moon+ Reader. For PDF's I use Perfect Viewer.
On PC you can use Calibre or FBReader.
If you prefer something online (for instance for systems where you can't install anything, like a work laptop.) you can use Cloud Epub Reader.
Glad I cheered you up :D
I also developed attention problems. I find that reading with a text to speech program or app helps me ALOT. Instead of just counting on your mind not to wonder off while you read, you both see the word and hear it at the same time, It really pulls on your attention. Sounds kinda silly, but it works wonders for me.
If you are interested, there are all types of software for this. Chrome extension, Balabolka, MoonReader

The main sites for buying e-books in English would be Kobo, Amazon, B&N, and Google Play Books. All of them normally use DRM that makes it so that you can only read their books via whatever mobile app or PC application they provide or physical e-readers that they sell. That also means that if you lose access to your account (or that service goes away), you lose access to all of your books. Fortunately, for all four of those sites, it's possible to remove the DRM (FAQ here). Once you've removed the DRM and gotten an actual epub file that you can save and backup, you can then read it in whichever e-reader application or physical e-reader you want which supports e-pub files (which is almost all of them - some stuff from Amazon being pretty much the only exception).
For light novels and manga, there is also Bookwalker (which is owned by one of the Japanese publishers but sells stuff from a variety of publishers, including US publishers who translate LNs and manga). Some people like it due to their sales, but their DRM cannot currently be circumvented, so you're stuck reading any books you buy from them via their mobile app or your browser, and if anything ever happens to your account (or to Bookwalker itself), then you'll lose everything you've ever bought from them.
And for a few publishers, you can buy their books from them directly DRM-free. In the case of light novels, the ones I can think of off the top of my head would be j-novel.club, Tentai Books, and Hanashi Media - the latter two being small publishers without a lot of books out at this point. There's also Cross Infinite World, which sells their books DRM-free, but they don't sell them directly. Rather, they take advantage of the option on sites like Kobo to not use DRM, meaning that you can just download the actual DRM-free epub file directly rather than having to jump through the extra hoops to remove the DRM. Sadly, very few publishers do that though and choose to enable DRM when selling through the normal e-book stores.
j-novel.club also has a program where if you get a membership with them, you can read books in pieces as they're translated (what they call pre-pub), but the quality is worse than the final release (since it hasn't been fully edited yet), and you lose access to the pre-pubs something like a month after the book is published if you don't buy the final book.
Personally, I buy my books directly from the publisher where possible, but otherwise, I normally buy from Kobo. I then remove the DRM from them and use Moon+Reader on my tablet to read them. I also use syncthing so that I'm able to manage the files on my PC and have them sync to my tablet, since that makes it easy to get them on the tablet from my PC and allows me to organize them on a proper computer rather than trying to move files around using a touchscreen.
I used to use several reading apps, now I mainly use calibre to convert content to epub and use moon+ reader https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader&hl=en_US&gl=US
https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/prsk49/i_am_new_to_calibre_need_a_beginners_guide_for/ has info on using calibre
Calibre is a program that you put all your books into, it is a great tool, it can convert to almost all book formats, can sync to your devices, edit metadata, download covers and reviews, and so much more. Then I import the books to my device and use moon+ to read, it can sync between devices and does almost everything really well. PDF's can be an issue but you can toss them into calibre and turn to mobi/epub that almost all devices can use.
If you are on Windows, you can use Sumatra PDF. There must be better, but it works. If you are on Android, you can download this app. Let me know if you get to open it.
No app needed, apart from something to read the ebooks if you choose those. I use Calibre on PC and Moon Reader on my phone.
Per the FAQ, you will be able to buy afterwards via BackerKit. Very short time to order through that.
Books will be available to download from Kickstarter site- and probably BackerKit. I'd expect EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats.

Moon+ Reader for books. One of the best out there.
What I use myself is Moon+ Reader (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader)
And I add TTS to android phone via aiTTS (https://www.milmike.com/aitts-google-wavenet-voices-for-android-tts)
In this app I add Google Wavenet API key (you need special account on Google cloud website). It's free if you will listen to 1-2 books a month.
Best TTS now is https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/text-to-speech/ but I haven't make a free 12 month account there yet.
Sideload Google Play apps following these instructions:

have tried Moon+ Reader?
Moon+ Reader is by far the best.
I currently use a Galaxy Tab S4, and it works quite well overall. I like its size and resolution. I had previously used the Galaxy Tab S 10.5, but when it broke, I couldn't easily replace it with something comparable, because the S2 and S3 were smaller, whereas the S4 finally returned to the 10.5 inches and 2560 x 1600 that the original had been. The Galaxy Tab S5e and Galaxy Tab S6 would be the latest models in that line (fortunately retaining the larger size and resolution), and which would be better would depend on what you're looking for. I'd probably go for the S6 in order to get the 256 GB storage, but it's obviously more expensive.
The bigger question would be whether you want to use a tablet or an e-reader that uses e-ink. I did use one of Kobo's e-readers for a while, and it was decent, but ultimately, I decided that I don't like e-ink. It's easier on the eyes and has better battery life, but it's B&W, and the touch screen is far less responsive than a normal tablet (probably in part due to e-ink's low refresh rate). In the case of Kobo's e-reader, the disk space was also too small. It worked for normal books, but it didn't work well for manga. Many books are less than 10 MiB (especially light novels), and the largest that I have is around 23 MiB, whereas manga is more frequently 100 MiB - 200 MiB and can be 300+ MiB, in which case, a whole manga series just takes up too much space when the e-reader only holds something like 4 GB. Book organization was also more of a pain than what I have going right now with my tablet, and of course, tablets can do a lot more than just read books (including run j-novel.club's app for pre-pub books if that's something you want to do). So, I'd recommend a tablet like the Galaxy Tab S5e over an e-ink e-reader, but plenty of folks prefer e-ink.
As for the actual e-books, I buy most of my e-books from Kobo and remove the DRM from them (and in the case of j-novel.club's books, I just buy from them directly) . I then use syncthing to sync files between my PC and my tablet. So, I can organize the books on my PC how I'd like and have that mirrored on the tablet. To read a book, I then navigate to it on the tablet using a file browser and open it in my e-reader app (Moon+ Reader specifically, though any e-reader app that reads .epub files would work). So, I don't deal with any of the organizational stuff with the e-reader app and just use it for reading. Rather, all of the book organization is done by the folder and file layout I use for the .epub files, which I control from my PC.
If you don't remove the DRM from whatever books you buy, you'll be forced to use whatever e-reader app goes with that store though (be it Kobo's app, the Amazon Kindle app, the Nook app, or whatever), and it will be the app that both fetches and reads the books. If anything ever happens to the service or your account, you'll lose all of the books you bought from that service. So, it's the safest (and most flexible) to remove the DRM from any books you buy, though plenty of folks don't bother and just use whatever e-reader app is associated with the store that they buy books from.
I'd say that kobo.com is the best e-book store and would suggest that it be the one that you use primarily, but that's up to you. However, you should avoid Bookwalker, because their DRM hasn't been cracked yet. Anyone other than Amazon will use .epub files, which is an open standard and will work with most any e-reader application, whereas Amazon uses their own file format, which complicates things (it also has a limit on the size of image files, meaning that the images in Kindle books will typically be lower resolution and/or have higher compression than the same book on other services).
I dont think there is any. Closest i can think of is Moon+ Reader
In order of preference:
Handles PDFs very well with the help of a "zoom lock* that allows me to trim the margins and then lock it there while scrolling to get the most from smaller screens
It just works, no questions asked. Super clean, detects books easily, runs SUPER fast.
Progress sync using GDrive (I think this is a pro feature) but because it doesn't download the book itself it sometimes takes a few tries to realise it's the same book
Even the free version has no ads. Ended up paying for pro for progress sync. It's a tricky move to pull off enticing pro features without feeling that you hamstring the free version as motivation.
Generally works well but has some loading time between chapters that can be jarring.
Has the capability on Android to "upload to Play Books" from any app that can share, which is a nice upstream if you need to get it syncing between devices quickly, but the web interface is buried behind the "new design" of the website so wouldn't be surprised if it just quietly disappeared one afternoon. Also not sure about privacy policy regarding that storage because it's separate from Drive storage...
I use Moon+ Reader and it has worked really well for me.

> One of the most common questions I get asked is which is the best ebook reader for viewing PDF files, the Kindle, Sony, Nook, which one? The sad truth of the matter is that no 6-inch ereader is really all that great for displaying PDF files. What it comes down to is the 6-inch screen is just too small.
I recommend the biggest android tablet you can find. 10" is perfect. I have very good results with Moon+ Reader. It has a free version but I purchased the paid version.
You should definitely check out and read the Game of Thrones series and [The Walking Dead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_(TV_series) is decent too. You're better off reading the books first, as they are better and cover a lot more than the TV shows. If you want to read them for free, PM me and I can send you the links or .PDF, .epub, and .mobi files. You can read them on any eReader app (If you have Android, I'd recommend Moon+ Reader from Google Play store or Aldiko Book Reader from Google Play store. If you have an iPhone/iOS, you can get Aldiko Book Reader from iTunes.) or print them out to read.
A few sites that have caught my attention:
A site for free college courses.
Free audio books of a wide variety of literature.
An ebook reader for android devices. Has a decent online library to choose from.
Any more would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I also find it easier to read on mobile but the only method that I've found is to convert them to .epub files with WebNovelDownload and using Google Play Books or Moon+ Reader
On Android you can use Moon+ Reader $4.99 for Pro with Ivona
I personally love reading on my phone. I store the files of the ebooks on my Dropbox account so they don't take up space on my phone. There are plenty of different ereader apps that you may want to check out. First, you really need to decide what format you're going to read, as different ebook files work on different ereader apps. The 3 main formats are .PDF, .epub, and .mobi. I personally have always had Android devices and have tried many different ereader apps and my two favorite apps are: Moon+ Reader and my second favorite is Aldiko Book Reader.

I use my tablet for exactly the same thing you wish to do - reading novels (Moonreader+) and reading comics (Perfect Viewer)
I use an ASUS Transformer 700T which I bought re-furbed from Amazon and is currently $189.00
I'd recommend this one (I love mine). It has a 1920 x 1200 screen which looks beautiful. I found that a resolution lower than that doesn't look great when reading. The text (both in books and comics) looks a little jaggy/blurry.
It's a pretty looking tablet (spun metal back) and also has a decent modding community behind it over at XDA Forums if you want to get it updated all the way to Lollipop 5.1.1.
I spent a lot of time at the beginning of this year looking for a good 10 inch tablet, so I thought I'd pass on what I decided on.
