No matter how often we have not talked about that you can read only the real, paper books, no one will argue that e-books in many situations much easier and more practical. Everything is so for several reasons. Firstly, they do not take place (of course, except for a place on your device), and secondly weigh nothing, and thirdly, they can always be near you. And if before in public transport all hid behind the open book, and now her place was taken by phones and tablets.
In general, convenience is undeniable. Another question is how to achieve the maximum usability of their devices like e-readers. After all, there are a bunch of different software, which, it would seem, it is convenient to perform only one function, but each developer screaming about the incredible uniqueness and comfort is their product. Therefore, we decided to consider the most popular book application. We look at how versatile solutions for iOS and Android, and the unique applications of each system.
Bookmate - it's not just an app, and a service for reading, which supports the Android, iOS, Windows Phone and PC. Download books in the app can be 2 ways: by simply downloading a file from a computer or service to feed the link to the book from the Internet. The app is absolutely free and, at first glance, it is not clear how to make the developers? It's simple - in the application it is possible to a paid subscription, which allows you to enjoy a huge library Bookmate.
There is also a social component. You can add your friends to see the books they read, and add their books to your library (only with subscription). Among the functions is the ability to sync between devices, adding quotes and of course all the parameters of text editing. In general, the service Bookmate can be an excellent choice for storing your virtual library.

iBooks
If you have collected at the collection of Apple devices, iBooks can be a very convenient option. Buying books in a few clicks, the cloud sync with all your devices, and recently have even iBooks on the Mac. In addition to buying books from the iTunes Store, you can fill them with iTunes from your computer. But there is a much more convenient way to do this, which I will describe below.
If you use iBooks or other eReader, which do not have their library, the Book Search application can you really like. It contains a bunch of different repositories of books, allowing them to download and immediately throws into your chosen reader. Here's how it's done.
We go in the required repository and download the book from there. It is said that in addition to the built-in repository, you also have the ability to add your own. After downloading the book, it appears in our library.
Now we can send the downloaded book to any reader. As you can see from the iBooks available only, due to the fact that only he and installed. However, the developer says support for applications Nook, Kindle, iBooks and many others.

Moon reader
If you show the user the possibility of the iBooks Moon reader, be prepared for the fact that he will laugh in your face. Number of settings Moon reader is amazing. Supports more than 12 formats, setting the text in detail, a lot of gestures and much more.
It is worth noting that the app is free, but there is a PRO version that removes the ads and adds functionality. For example, support for multi-touch control with a Bluetooth headset, and text-to-speech. Decide whether you need a PRO version or can do free, but the app deserves your attention.

Cool reader
Cool reader - this is another very popular eReader for Android. And it also has many functions, but something is missing. For example, if you buy the full version of Moon reader, you will get the opportunity to view their statistics and sync with Dropbox. The Cool reader functionality such is simply not available.
However, if the Moon reader is a free version with limited functionality, the Cool reader gives you full functionality for free. Thank the developer can only be given support.

It seems to me that these applications go up to any person as demanding, and not so. What services do you use to read books?
