Hi guys,

I had an Sony Reader PRS-300, Sony PRS-900, Kobo Glo and tested Kindles 1 and 2.

But chose Samsung Note 10.1 because I have a lot of PDFs and wanted a larger screen with a pen, I did not like even an eight inches screen withe better resolution.

I want an app that can read PDF and EPUB, be possible to highlight and export it to a file. Another thing is the possibility to use my Spen to draw and export.

I am still on my quest and wanted to share some thoughts and exchange experiences.

This past week I tested over 60 apps, almost all of "Google Play".

Well,
I found some interesting apps:

FREE :

-Laban PDF Reader:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...labanpdfreader
You only can:
1- select the text and do line through or copy to the clipboard;
2- Change the view: landscape or portrait;
3- One linking option that I didn't figure it out;
4- Search for a word;
5- Choose the page.
This one is very fast and smooth but lacks a lot of features.

-Laban Book Reader:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...abanbookreader
It is a nice app that opens .epub, .prc, .mobi.
I did not explored because I could not figure out how to change to english.

-EbookDroid is very nice, fast.
Can highlight, draw but only exports a png as epub.

-PocketBook Reader:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....obreey.reader
Beautiful layout, one of the best.
Exports to xhtml with the highlighted used (4 options).
I miss is the draw function and another dictionary because it only work with the paid Abby, if it had those options, it would be a no-brainer.

The paid ones:

-Mantano:
I could not test the highlight and how it exports.

-Aldiko:
It has a nice layout, is fast, but it was not possible to test the highlight and how it exports.

-Moon+ Reader:
I liked it but it should have a trial version, I do not know how it works with PDF and how is the draw and export features.

-The EzPDF Reader:
Very nice, has the draw function but only exports as a .xfdf file. But only works with Pdf as expected.

Since I did not buy a paid app, my two choices are EbookDroid and PocketBook Reader.

Can someone indicate some review or video showing the highlight and export features of the paid ones?

Thanks.
