Aldiko used to be my favorite Android ePub ereader app. With its ebook stylesheet suport, it did an excellent job with text formatting. Pages looked close to how a more powerful ePub e-ink reader rendered them.
Then Aldiko was upgraded from version 1 to 2, and all formatting hell broke loose. Version 2 is a regression and has many
formatting issues. I am really amazed at how even a newbie software developer can miss such obvious issues in testing. And, if they didn't miss them, how they consider them features. I don't care for the Adobe DRM support in version 2, they screwed a perfectly good app.
I tried other Android ePub ereading apps such as FBReader, Moon+ Reader Pro and Cool Reader. But none of them render well even basic formatting such as indentation of blockquoted text or bullet lists, let alone images (it probably takes a rocket scientist to figure that image zoom is a useful feature on a smartphone screen). They seem more interested in providing stunning page turn animations and slick presentation rather than paying attention to ebook formatting.
I also installed Google Books. Although I can not yet purchase ebooks from my country, Italy, I was hoping to try its formatting capabilities with the books I already have. But I haven't figured yet how to load a local ePub file into the app, assuming it's possible.
Before giving up and downgrading to Aldiko 1, are there any Android ereading apps with
good text formatting support?
