Aldiko 2.0 Free version released!

jhempel24 · 01-18-2011, 06:52 AM

I know it's been out for a little bit in premium format, but I just got a message on my phone saying that Aldiko was updated for my free version.

Wow!!! What an APP!!!

Love it! My biggest complaint was having to jump through hoops for a page number, now it's right there with the push of one button!

Looks nice...performance is a bit slower, but not enough for me to care, just in loading...reading is still just as slick.

Great job Aldiko team!

Oh good call, had no idea!

Anyone got a source for a non-market install.

Pretty nice. I was hoping for better PDF functionality. Maybe that'll come in time. Definitely my favorite ePub reader, though.

I'm thinking of reverting back....one thing that I find I missed is the "chapter progress bar" everything else seems nice though.

I miss the chapter progress too. But for me it's offset by having page numbers that correspond to the page numbers on my Sony Reader. I mainly use the reading apps on my phone when away from home and was using the chapter progress to help switch between devices. (If near the end of a chapter, I'd finish up on the phone before switching over to the Reader. Or if 50% into a chapter in Aldiko, I'd use that to find the proximate page number on the Sony.)

But I still wish they'd kept the chapter progress. I like knowing how far I am from the end of a chapter.

Yeah that was a really cool feature, I hope they bring it back, but I do like how the page numbers work, and you don't have to jump through hoops to get them.

soondai · 01-21-2011, 12:21 AM

I reverted because of the lack of font choices (w/o downloading). But it is very nice overall and I'm sure I'll upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2

How do you import your own fonts?

soondai · 01-21-2011, 11:08 AM

no idea. it just said you have to if you don't want to use the default. Alkido 1.x only has 2 choices, but I prefer the non-default one.

maybe it's a premium (paid) feature.
