Aldiko 3.0.35 still crashes if I try to do anything but read and I can't even try to change the font without crashing. It just seems newer versions are too resource-hungry.
So I started looking for alternatives. I have Kobo's own reader and Overdrive, but Aldiko was better for my needs. I already tried Moon + and didn't really like it. Next I tried Pocketbook Reader and liked that it found all my books on the Kobo, but it was confusing to configure and kept stalling and crashing, just too much for the Vox, just like the new Aldiko.
Next I tried AlReader and was amazed how fast and responsive it was and it also loaded all my books. Configuring required extra steps, but the options are plentiful and I got it to look and work just like I had Aldiko working, except much faster and no crashes. It appears it's just what I needed for the dinosaur Vox running Android 2.3.4. In fact, it will work with Android versions as old as 1.6. So, folks, If you're about give up on your old Vox, give AlReader a try.
