I'm looking for an ebook reader for my Galaxy S2. I need something which can read mobi and epub formats (I tried FBreader, but it doesn't seem to parse paragraph breaks correctly). Something that can read .lit files would be very desireable, though I haven't been able to find anything which can do so.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thx
aldiko reader for sure is by far the best book reader iv seen on any android device ^_^

You can add all of your own ebooks and PDF's to the Nook Tablet without doing any modifications at all.
Just connect the NT to your computer and copy all your books into /My Files/Books and the device will see them, or better yet, get Calibre to manage your books on your computer and simply connect the NT and move the books over using Calibre.

the Nook's handle PDF documents fine, but there are limits to what you can ask from a 7" screen. For me the sweet spot is epub books, which packages like calibre - E-book management can convert to just fine. PDF documents usually involve a little bit of zoom/pan for reading, which is not as smooth.
For primarily PDF reading, you might want to look at one of the 10" tablets. They won't sit in your hand as easily, but would likely render full-page PDF documents at a readable size.
Have fun,
Ron
Without stepping into the argument about PDFs again - what Ron said is true and I very much agree.

Or use Calibre to convert to epub or any other format you prefer.

Trying to convert some PDF to ePub format for HTC flyer so I can use the Pen to take notes. In Calibre, What template should I be using? Is the default ebook reader on flyer the same as Kobo reader? Anyone can share some tips?
Thanks!
Why don't you note, annotate using the Flyer's pdf reader? I find it quite convenient. When official HOneycomb comes I will probably use Repligo draw freehand capability.
Thanks for the message. When you use the PDF reader, it seems the fonts are too small, you have to zoom in/zoom out....true?
Yes, you can zoom in and zoom out. I've found it rather an advantage sometimes. But a BIG plus for the PDF is that you can view your file with comments in any PDF reader, on PC or mobile. I don't know whether we can do it with the ePub Flyer's annotations. In addition, in Flyer's ebook reader I think that you can only annotate/view the annotations at normal zoom level.
Hope it helps.
I just converted a book from pdf using Calibre. I used the default settings in Calibre and converted it to epub format. Worked great and was able to make hand written notes with the HTC Reader.

For advanced Epub stuff files like writing and taking notes into a Epub with a pen (HTC flyer isn’t a touch screen or pen screen or what ever u want to call it write? and that is what u are asking for right?? well what ever floats your boat I guess.) well that kind of stuff can get pretty hairy for a free converter like caliber, the don't do advanced eBook fetchers yet. I would try and use Manuel conversion company they are usually on the cutting edge of what u can do with Epub (im 100% sure if u can take notes into a file Epub or how u would do that or why u would do that) but I’m sure this company (convertabook . com) can help you figure out what u could do and if it is practical and if any one could do a crazy thing like that it would be them just call them

well, I’m using such one useful XFlip pdf to ebook software to convert PDF document files to flip ebook and then read, share and view them on any mobile devices or ebook reader like Kobo reader easily.
Thanks!

I've used repligo which works quite well and have recently been using the free version of mantano reader.

repligo reader works well here too. but ezpdf reader works well also. Unfortunately, there isn't any pdf annotation software out there at the moment. I would love to see one and even pay more than $10 for it.
As the title says... Looking for a good reader. Can anyone help?
I use perfect viewer and it works great.
Perfect Viewer here as well.
+1 for Perfect Viewer
also does .ZIP and .RAR
or
Pocket Manga. google it, its not in the Market. download comics direct from Mangafox, Mangable etc.
its the reason i decided on a note over my Galaxy S2 (T989)

If you are talking about getting ebooks for free, that are normally paid, that would constitute warez, discussion of which is not allowed here.
