Interesting. I show that app (at least from the Amazon store) as being incompatible with my FireHD. I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $7 for it, since I don't have a compelling need to read ePub books right now. But I'd be curious what your reasoning is for going that way?

The shrieking voice in my radiator tells me that DD is rather adept at converting content.

While I DO possess the ability to format shift all willy-nilly, the answer is a lot more mundane in this instance. I like every single thing about the Fire HD except the reading app. The line-spacing, the margins, the font-choices--all these things conspired to make me sad. So I conducted a search for the reading app that made me the happiest (epub only because it's just a tad bit easier to fix the occasional wonky book, not because of any inherent format righteousness) and settled on Mantano. It's pleasing to my delicate sensibilities.

And also because I'm clearly THAT guy. Eclectic by nature. The road less traveled. If it ain't rough, it ain't right. You know, a pain in the ass.

EDIT: as far as Mantano being available for the Fire HD in Amazon's store ... I guess I forgot to mention that I primarily patronize the Google Play store (in keeping with my other extra-ecosystem inclinations).

Well, those are the sorts of reasons I would expect, DiapDealer. And it reminds me that I need to do the necessary to be able to use Google Play.

No. But there are ways. However, that would be about my last choice for a way to read books.
