Well, I have done the hard work for you, and here is my list of top best 10 ebook readers available for Android smartphone or tablets to read ebooks…

Technology has seeped into every sphere of our lives, and in most cases, it had a positive impact. Among many such positive impacts, technology has made reading a lot easier. With smartphone screens getting bigger and bigger, it is no longer a difficult task to read some documents or books whenever you want. It is no longer necessary to have a big wooden bookshelf to appease your reading appetite. The small smartphones in our pockets are mini-libraries, which we are carrying every day to our offices and workplaces, short trips to our favourite destinations, and everywhere else we can think of.

With ebooks, you no longer need to carry just a single piece of book to kill your leisure time. Just carry your smartphone, and you are as good as carrying a completely filled cumbersome bookshelf with you. But, just like every other category of apps, there are hundreds of ebook reader apps available on the Android market or the Google Play Store. Choosing the best one isn’t a dime a dozen. Well, I have done the hard work for you, and here is my list of top best 10 ebook readers available for Android. Each app has some exclusivity, and you should go for the best one among one in the list, balancing all your needs.

Best ebook reader app for Android

Google Play Books

The first e-book reader, which comes in my mind, while talking about e-book readers for Android is Google Play Books. Well, you might have already used it, and if not that, you have already seen it for sure, as it comes pre-installed with most Android devices. It is by far one of the most neatly developed ebook readers available, where you can even purchase ebooks from an exceptionally big library comprising ebooks of different genres. There are even some free titles available on the platform, which can also be useful to improve some existing or learn some new skills and kill your leisure time.

Google Play Books support most major ebook formats including MOBI, EPUB, PDB besides PDF, DOC, and other formats. On opening an ebook downloaded or purchased from a different source, the ebook will automatically be added to the local Google Play Books library so that you can access it easily. Using Google Play Books will offer you the experience of reading a printed book, by offering page you page turnover animations and sounds, which might not be the same as that of a physical book, but pretty close.
