Recently I bought an android smart phone and being a long time ebook zealot it didn't take long before I started taking a look around for an ebook reading software. I found out there's a bunch of them.

Then, having to take a 50 minutes drive to work every day I got curious if there's some convenient way of listening to audiobooks on android, as the regular media players don't support bookmarking, and the anwer was yes, there is.

It would seem there's a lively ebook community around android platform. So now I'm wondering how many MR users read on this platform and whether the number is big enough for us to have a separate forum section and if there's demand for it at all.

So please vote on whether you'd like to have a separate section for Android platform. This way we will also find out how many users on MR use android for reading.

By this I'm in no way trying to say that an android section has to be or should be created, I'm only curious. Maybe the time hasn't come yet, we shall see.

So, would you?
