Finding the perfect e-reader app isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are tons of book formats out there, and even more types of books — novels, textbooks, comics, manga, you name it. To make things easier, we’ve put together a list of the best apps that can turn your Android phone or tablet into a full-on digital reading device.
AIReader is a great pick if you’re using an older device — it runs smoothly even on old Android versions. It supports a wide range of formats like EPUB (no DRM), MOBI, RTF, PRC, and many more. You can tweak the layout, enable auto-scrolling, choose page-turn animations, and pretty much customize everything to your liking.
Lithium is made for people who don’t want to mess around with settings. It automatically finds your books and just opens them — no fuss. You get highlighting, notes, night mode, and a clean, minimalist design with no ads. The Pro version is just $1.99 and adds cloud sync, more highlighting colors, and theme customization.
Foxit is more than just a reader — it’s a full-fledged tool for working with PDFs. You can read, edit, sign, fill out forms, and even have the text read out loud. It supports embedded audio and video, keeps your files private, and works across all platforms — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. If PDFs are part of your daily life, this one’s a no-brainer.
A lightweight but powerful app that supports almost every book format — from standard EPUB and PDF to less common ones like MOBI. It includes text-to-speech, flexible design settings, library organization, note-taking, and even special modes for musicians and language learners.
Kobo is basically an eBook store with its own reader built in. Buy a book, and you can start reading right away. It supports both regular books and audiobooks, offers offline access, night mode, and sync across devices. There’s also a handy browse feature by genre or author. The app is free — but you’ll have to pay for the books themselves.
A fan favorite among Android readers. Moon+ supports just about everything: EPUB, PDF, MOBI, comics, and even OPDS catalogs. It’s packed with features — dozens of themes, gesture controls, auto-scroll, Dropbox sync, and EPUB3 support. If you like to fine-tune your reading experience, this one’s for you.
One of the most popular reading apps — and for good reason. It supports almost every format you can think of: PDF, EPUB, MOBI, FB2, DJVU, DOC, TXT, and even CHM. No registration, no internet connection needed, and no ads. You can even open two books or documents side by side — especially handy on tablets. The interface is clean and everything runs smoothly.
This app has gone through a few name changes over time, but it’s still a solid choice. It supports over 25 languages, has built-in text-to-speech, and gives access to a 50,000+ book library. There’s device sync (account required), night mode, tons of layout options, and an easy-to-navigate interface.
With any of these apps, your Android device can become a powerful, personalized reading companion — whether you're diving into fantasy novels, studying from textbooks, or catching up on comics. Pick the one that fits your style and start reading.
