What app are you using?
How do you like it as a reader?
Does it use the full screen?
I have Mantano on my Kindle Fire, sideloaded, and like it as a reader. Is anyone using it on the Galaxy5 and if so how do you like it?
While loving the KFire I find it a bit larger than I'd like as a "carry along" reader. I primarily use my reader at work and at home, reading in bed before sleep. I'd like something with a smaller footprint and lighter and am considering the Galaxy 5.
I was using the Sony T1 before the KFire and love the footprint of the T1...light and easily slipped in my pants pocket. I can't do that with the KFire but love the LCD screen for night time reading and the wifi is great.
Thanks to those that comment.
Merry Christmas to all and Festivus for the Rest of us...

I use the Galaxy 5 with either Cool reader or Moon Reader - both work well but if you want to use Cool Reader at night you have to root and then apply the LED hack found over on XDA-Developers otherwise the "always on" back/menu/home buttons will drive you crazy at night.
With Moon reader you can set it to scroll (and thus you do not to touch the screen to turn pages) so the lights stay off.
Either reader is far superior (IMHO) than anything on any other reader - there is a great variety of formatting and control options to satisfy even the most fastidious reader. And the Galaxy 5 is very pocketable with a long battery life - I moved from a rooted Nook Color to the Galaxy and I like it very much - high quality build, great screen and very lighweight.
