best ereader app in AMAZON’s Android appstore?
I'm looking for an epub ereader and dictionary/plugin in Amazon’s Android App Store. I need decent epub3/publisher formatting support. Any recommendations?

Why not use the Google App store? No idea if Lithium, Xodo, Aldiko, Bluefire etc are also in Amazon's garden.

I think only one Android App does decent epub3, which I why I keep telling "publishers" that if it doesn't "work" as an epub2, it's not really a real ebook and there is a limited subset of epub3 on eink. People should create apps for iOS & Android rather than using epub3.

The poster may be using Windows 11 which can run Android apps, but only has access to the Amazon app store as Google won't play ball.

Well done, derailed after the first post.

Which would be strange way to have an ereader on Windows 11? Plenty of good ones, though maybe only a couple with full epub3 (Readium based needed?).

I'd assumed a Fire tablet and the OP didn't know how to add Google PlayStore. Android apps only make sense on small Win11 tablet. Also there may be a performance issue.

1: Let it go. It is not helping the OP. They want recs from what's available in the Amazon app store.

2: I'm typing this on a Surface, which makes a great comic reader. Mine is too old to get access to the Android apps. But once I have a newer Surface where I can install my favorite Android comic apps (luckily all available in the Amazon app store), I won't be buying any more Android/Fire tablets.

I'm sure an epub3 evangelist will be along. I don't remember.

I use an app called Perfect Viewer for my comics. Aside from comics, it also handle ebooks. But since I read ebooks on my Nooks and Kobo, I don't have much experience with that side of things.

It is available at the Amazon app store if you want to check it out: Perfect Viewer
