That means you can read in the bath or at the beach without worrying about your investment. Depending on your reading preferences, you should only need to recharge its battery every few weeks; it may even last as long as a month between charges.
The Kobo Libra H2O can handle a large number of e-book formats, so you can download books from Google Play, your public library, or elsewhere. OverDrive library borrowing is built right into the Kobo store, so getting library books on your e-book reader has never been easier.
Read our full Kobo Libra H2O review. Why you should buy this: You have a lot of Kindle e-books, but you want a cheaper Kindle. The Kindle Paperwhite finally got a face-lift in While it has long been one of our favorite e-book readers, some minor updates to the Kindle Paperwhite make it an even better option for the average reader. First off, the Kindle Paperwhite offers a beautiful high-resolution display with a pixel-per-inch pixel density — the same as its predecessor.
The raised bezel has been replaced with one that is flush with the display. The change makes the new Paperwhite a little more sleek and ever-so-slightly thinner. This 6-inch e-book reader is light and easy to hold with one hand while reading.
There are also a few new features that make the Paperwhite even more attractive. It has an IPX8 rating, meaning you can use it in the pool or tub without worry.
As far as battery life goes, the Paperwhite will last for several weeks on a single charge. But hold your horses for just a moment. If USB-C and a better warm light sound good to you, maybe hold out for that one. But if the new Paperwhite interests you, keep an eye out for our thoughts when it launches in late October. Read our full Kindle Paperwhite review. The battery is large enough that you should get around a month of reading from a single charge.
This feature uses red and orange LEDs to illuminate the screen without the need for blue light, which can cause trouble sleeping. It only offers customization in reading matters such as fonts, font size, line spacing, etc However, its fame comes from being an application that has been taken to eReaders. Cool Reader is an application used to install on Android eReaders , in such a way that thanks to Cool Reader, devices like Kindle can read ebooks in epub format. It is a free application. In return, we do have versions for tablets and Android phones, which allows us to turn our smartphone into a powerful eReader.
Adobe Digital Editions is not essentially an ebook reader but rather an editor or a tool to create them, just like Caliber. However, this tool has the possibility of being able to read ebooks in different formats, including the epub format. This tool is proprietary, that is, it belongs to Adobe and although it is free, some functions and services are paid.
In this case, Adobe Digital Editions is for Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS , allowing not only to create ebooks, but also to read and lend ebooks between users, something that other applications do not do, but it is true that the app applies DRM for this, which further restricts the use of the application's ebooks.
Adobe Digital Editions is not the best option to read epub files, but it is true that Adobe is already a company with tradition within the publishing world and that makes its program for epub ebooks important or at least to take into account. You can get Adobe Digital Editions at its official website.
Web browsers are increasingly being presented as a great alternative to reading ebooks on computers, laptops and other devices. The positive point of this use is that we can read ebooks in epub format on any platform, since all operating systems have a web browser, the negative point of this is that we will use more resources than the account. In the case of EpubReader for Firefox, this add-on allows Mozilla Firefox to read ebooks in epub format. To obtain it, you just have to look for it within the plugin repository that Mozilla has inside Firefox and add it.
It only reads in epub format, it does not have support for other ebook formats. The problem with this plugin is that being a plugin, Firefox for Android or mobile does not support this feature and we cannot read ebooks from these mobile devices.
But like Caliber, if we want to read from computers or devices, EpubReader for Firefox is a good option. Before we have talked about an add-on for Mozilla Firefox and we couldn't miss a add-on for the other great free browser, for Chrome.
In this case, we are talking about Readium. Readium is an extension that uses the technology of the same name and reads ebooks in epub format.
Readium is also a consortium to develop the epub format, so in this plugin we have maximum compatibility with the epub format, compatibility that we cannot find in other plugins, possibly the one that best meets the standard.
She free extension for Chrome, however, it has the downside that it is for the heaviest web browser of all. Chrome is a great tool but it is also a devourer of resources and that means that we cannot use it on computers with few or outdated resources such as Windows XP for example. One of these applications is called Lucidor.
Lucidor is an ebook reader that offers connection to OPDS repositories that will help us download free ebooks. Although Lucidor's best role may be the possibility of transforming our news feed into ebooks , something interesting that will allow us to group all those news and web articles in a single reading.
Lucidor can also be found in Your Website. This app is fully compatible with Epub version 3 , a version that few readers support. The Azardi application has two versions, a desktop version and an online version.
The online version works in any web browser, while the desktop version can be used on a desktop or laptop computer. If we really have ebooks in Epub3 format or we like rich ebooks, Azardi is a great viewer. This ebook reader is an extension for Chrome but its operation allows us to have an ebook viewer on Chrome OS, Google's Linux system. East extension is added to the web browser and then it can be run offline, working like a normal application.
Ebook Offline Reader is an application that we can use in our Chrome OS or in our web browser In any case, Ebook Offline Reader is not a great ebook viewer but it is certainly a great option for times of emergency or for those who use Chrome OS as the main operating system. Many of the aforementioned applications can be found for Mac OS, but the truth is that for this platform Apple iBooks is the queen application.
This application is free and it is one of the apps that MacOS brings by default for the user, although if we do not have it we can get it from iTunes or from the Apple website, something that undoubtedly makes it a widely used application.
The downside is that iBooks obeys Apple's orders. Namely, the user will not be able to do things with iBooks that Apple does not want, while its free alternative, Caliber allows almost any modification or supports any ebook. In any case, both iBooks and Caliber for Mac support the free Epub format.
Aldiko is a free reading app that is available for both Android and iOS, although in the Android world it is a benchmark. Aldiko is a very complete reading app that allows us to read files in the most popular and used formats of the moment.
When we read the ebook, Aldiko allows us to have all the comforts that an eReader offers but from a mobile or tablet. Along with the possibility of reading epub files, Aldiko allows us to obtain ebooks from any free repository and online store as well as allows us to enable night mode to read in places with low light, among other things. Aldiko we can get it in the official stores, but it is better to consult it through its official website where we have all the versions and downloads.
The paid version offers more functions than the free one, but in both versions it is possible to read the ebook in epub format, change the line spacing, the font type, the night mode, etc….
Another of the special functions of this ebook reader is that we can directly listen to ebooks thanks to the TTS function. This ebook reader comes from Google so many of you will already have this app installed on your mobile. Not only is it the official app of the Google ebook store but it is also it also allows us to upload our own ebooks or other ebooks privately. Your reader is compatible with almost all ebook formats.
With what the end result is to be able to read ebooks from almost any device. The advantage of this reader over others is that we can buy the ebook directly from the application and read it as we buy it. Something that other file readers cannot do. Google Play Books is a great app because it allows a good connection with Google apps and services, but it is also true that it forces us to have this ecosystem and dispense with other online ebook stores that could have the ebook we want or get it for a price less.
Lithium Epub Reader is a simple reader app that only reads ebooks in epub format. If you would prefer to download the EPUB and convert it for use on your Kindle, an internet search can provide you with several options, such as using a program called Calibre to do the conversion.
The actual conversion process is beyond the scope of these help pages. If page fidelity is important to you, choose the PDF version of a book; it exactly reproduces the original printed page and can be viewed with the popular Adobe Reader software on many devices.
