Which app has the best shelf management?

Waflicka · 11-27-2013, 12:38 AM

Hi all. I currently use Moon+ Reader Pro on my Nexus 7 2013, and I'm not entirely happy with the experience -- it doesn't have adequate shelf management; I end up pulling books straight out of the directory, which is rather messy, especially as I have some series written by multiple authors.

If Moon+ Reader Pro does, in fact, have reasonable shelf management (I'm not looking for much -- just basic management in the vein of Kindle, Kobo, iBooks, et al.), then please let this thread sink to the bottom of the pile, as it's my own fault that I've been unable to figure it out. If, however, there's an ereading app with better shelf management, please share it with me.

Thank you.

Mantano is fabulous for shelf management. It allows you to create custom shelves including the ability to create multiple layers of sub-shelfs. So you can do something like this . . .

You could also try Calibre Companion. It will manage your library for you and let you use whatever reader app you want.

If the OP uses Calibre then I agree 100%. Calibre Companion automatically provides all of the metadata from calibre for sorting and searching on your device. Doesn't get much better.
