The free version of Mantano has Ads, that's how they get paid.

Yeah Mantano is only the highest priced ereader app on the whole store, and why should I pay for amazon cloud when I already have dropbox not to mention when I tried the Mantano cloud trial it didn't even work.

Expensive and lower score

Does anyone know of apps that work well with Evernote? I just want to upload quotes to Evernote so I can look at them later.

Thanks!

If you use CoolReader, you can go to the menu hit Toggle Selection, make your text selection and copy to clipboard; I don't use Evernote but I can open Oi Note and paste the selection there. Presumably you can paste in Evernote as well.

Hope this helps.

I just voted for Moon+ Reader Pro. Switching between it and Mantano for some years now I always go back to Moon+ and have been using it almost exclusively for close to a year.

I've also been using AlReader (thanks Anavim) for a week now and really like it. Had been using CoolReader to read RTF clippings but AlReader works great. Looks to have a extensive user manual...if someone would translate it into English I think it may have some less than obvious options.

I'll add my vote of thanks to Anavim as well. So far, ALReader has been bug free and only lacks three things to make it my ideal reader: smaller brightness increments, a two column center margin and the option to use the internal (CSS) indents.

John, Not sure what you mean by 'two column center margin'. Two booklike pages in landcape mode?

If so, on my 10" tablet there are two pages in landscape; not so on my 7" Nex7. Both are set to System under Screen Orientation on the Main page of Options, although it seems to work them same whether set to System or Sensor. Don't know why because Moon+ Reader will display two pages in landscape on both devices.

I used Moon+ Reader pro before but I can't say that it's the best app because I haven't really gave other apps their chance to win me over. I like to change my reading background and fonts so this app fits. But I think even in times where I don't have my gadgets with me, I'd put up with any device I can get my hands on just to continue reading from my ebooks!

Yep - in the two column landscape mode you have three margins; the left, the right and the center margin which is made up of the adjoining pages left and right margins. The problem is this, for example: if I wanted a center margin of 1/2 inch I would also have a quarter inch margin on both the left and the right sides. On 7 and 8 inch tablets, I would rather use the real estate for text. FBReader is the only one I know of with this ability.

I have found that sync is hit or miss between my two devices. I like it though when it works.

can Play Books read pirated epub/mobi files? (I don't pirate, I just want to know... Really)

[DiapDealer]

DRM-Free != pirated.

Almost all apps will read DRM-Free ebooks (in formats the app supports, of course), with no regard for whether they're legal or pirated. There's no "This is a pirated ebook" check performed that I know of.

Not mobi, but it does a good job with epubs and pdfs. You upload them from Google books on your pc and then they are available on all of your Android devices.
