Any way, I went to put Mantano on the Nexus 7, but the free version is crap and they now have two paid apps ($2.99 and $6.99) but their website is so piss poor that it is not at all clear which one has what. Apple would never let them get away with that crap, but I guess Google doesn't care. I want the least I need to pay for. I just want to be able to select between fonts and use my own embedded fonts on occasion. Will the $2.99 version do this. BTW, I don't care about their cloud as I won't be using it.

Also just FYI, I installed the Kindle for Android app. What a POS!!! I sure hope the Fire's reading app is way better. The Kindle for Android app has only one font, doesn't sync highlights or notes in personal docs, etc. It must be the worst of the Kindle apps.

Its best to go for the $6.99 version anything else is just not worth it and they keep removing features from the others so you buy the Premium. So buy the Premium one. It is well worth it. Trust me on this. I love this app. It's the best one out on the market. You will love it. You don't need to embed fonts it lets you have as many custom fonts as you want. The only con is the custom font wont show italic or bold that will be displayed in Droid serif but that doesn't bother me but if it does you, you can embed the fonts instead.

The premium version has collections just like a Kindle but even better you can have sub collections! you can sort by author, title, series, tags and alot more on the Premium version. It has highlighting tools which I never use, dictionary and Wikipedia look up. It even handles epub and pdf library books.

It has two column landscape mode as well!

You would only need the cloud if you sync between devices which I do. You can have up to 4 devices for 10 a year for me this well worth it.

I can't get the Kindle app to work on my SGP5. I gave up on it. One day it stopped working all together. Too many books I think.
