EBook Reader

So this time around, I am messing with different Ebook readers. This much is for sure that I am going to have different ones for different file extensions. In my experience, the applications that deal with all kinds of files, aren't all that great. So though diverse file format support is appreciated, it's not a consideration in my selection.

So - for PDF reading:
Adobe reader is perfect for android.
For PC, Adobe is good enough. If more functionality is needed, let's go for Nitro Reader, it's also good.

For epub
For android, I like the feel of Google Play, and I like that you can upload your books to it. So that's it for androi.
For PC - this is what's all the fuss about. I am trying and testing. I want something light and clean, and something that I can comment on, highlight on, make notes, that kind of stuff. But even if this functionality isn't there, being light, clean and beautiful is something I can't compromise on. So here's the list:
- In chrome app: EPUBReader-App
- Booki.sh (haven't tested it yet). Also in-browser app.
- http://www.fbreader.org/ - this is a bit too much, but I think I will install as I will need more features. Not now though.


And while doing my own little research, I stumbled upon this review: http://www.jedisaber.com/eBooks/Readers.shtml - highly recommended. Very scientific. I just love it. I wish I had such a review for every app I needed :) Thank you! Whoever did it. I think after going through this, I will go for Adobe Digital Editions for my computer.

Google Reader

Google retired it. And which brings me to try all these other alternatives to find out which one's the best for my needs. I miss reading at least two blogs! One of them is Scooby, so I need a reader which is clean, light and quick. Anyway, here's a list I am gonna try:

Won't post a full-on analytical review, but just minor observations.

I have a feeling this is going to be the winner:

Adobe Garamond Pro

Some math I did for my own sake:

100 pixels per inch.
100 pixels per 72 points.
100/72 pixels per 1 point.
100/72*12 per 12 points.
