AlReader
What AlReader is
AlReader is a free e-book reader for Android and Windows, intended for personal, non-commercial use. On Android, it opens FB2, TXT, EPUB without DRM, HTML, DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, MOBI, PRC, and TCR files, plus books stored in ZIP or GZ archives. PDF and DjVu files are not supported. Readers can adjust fonts, size, spacing, alignment, colors, margins, and page-turning animation. Reading options include page turning, automatic scrolling, and text-to-speech through the installed system engine for a book’s language. A library catalog groups books by author, series, or title and filters by language, genre, text, and dates. AlReader can browse OPDS catalogs, download books, and send selected words or phrases to a chosen dictionary. The guide describes syncing reading positions between Android devices through the program website. Internet access also supports network libraries and anonymous reading statistics. Android 1.6 or later is required.
