If they're in .mobi format, use kindle.
Aldiko is good for other formats (or so i've been told, i don't use it)

Ebooks, is it possible to...

....use one piece of software to read books from Google, kobo and for kindle?
It would be great to save space for books rather than losing space by having to have three or four readers installed.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

Nope. Unless you don't mind removing DRM (which you should do anyway, legal or no) and converting. Especially the Kindle format is tricky, as only the Kindle app will read it.
I've always wondered how to convert Google books. Can Calibre do it?

yes, but not natively...google "calibre remove drm"
there are many tools available to remove drm from any format ebook
I try to stick with 1 format and use Calibre to convert emails I have to that format and then transfer them to my SD card. Kindle uses .mobi and most others use ePub. Hope this helps.

[Q] .mobi files

i was wondering if its possible to use .mobi book files on a nook tablet?
With the kindle app or another app that supports them it is possible. Otherwise you can use a program like calibre in your PC to convert them to epub.

Is there a specific place they need to be stored? I tried copying a few to the root of my sd card and couldn't get the kind app or the google books app to find them.
Google books wont read them.
Kindle books are pulled from the kindle folder that is created upon the first time opening the app.

Too bad the B&N Nook app is missing To my knowledge it's the only app that comes close to Kindle on webOS (featuring a two-page layout and page-turn animations)
I'll second aldiko.
