Modern smartphones are used not only for watching movies and listening to music, but also for reading books. And in order for the book to be displayed correctly on the phone, you need to know what formats are supported by Android devices.
E-book formats
First of all, it is worth clarifying that Android is a platform, an operating system, and support for certain book formats does not depend at all on android. In order for the phone to be able to read various formats of e-books, you need to install special applications. And depending on what formats this program can read, the user will be able to read such book formats on the phone.
Most often on the Internet you can find such e-book formats as fb2, txt, doc, djvu, pdf, rtf, epub, mobi and others. The most popular of these is the FB2 or FictionBook format. FB2 is an open format (XML-based) created by Russian developers. This format is best suited for reading books, since it contains information about the author of the book, illustrations, and formatted text.
Book reading apps
So, in order to read books on android, you need to install a special application. First you need to decide what format of books will be used. If you have not yet decided which format is better (or do not understand them at all), then it is better to use applications that support the most popular mobile formats - fb2, epub, mobi. Also an important condition is the ability of the application to work with online catalogs, from where it will be possible to download almost any book.
FBReader is one of the popular Android e-readers (as they call applications for reading books). It supports most of the most common book formats - fb2, epub, rtf, mobi - and plain text files. The uniqueness of this program is that in it you can select any external OpenType or TrueType font and use it for reading. The application can extract files from 7-Zip archives, as well as import books from a memory card.
To read books in djvu format, you can use the EBookDroid application. Since there are practically no applications for android that allow you to read the djvu format, this is the first plus of the EBookDroid program. In addition, this program also supports pdf, xps, cbr and fb2 formats. And the excellent speed of reading djvu and pdf formats only adds points to this application.
In general, there are many applications for reading books. You can choose them to your taste and color. If all the books on the phone are of one specific format, then any program that supports it will be enough for reading. If you need support for most formats, you can install several applications: one program, for example, will read fb2, doc, txt formats, and the other - pdf and djvu formats.
