User Reviews

EBookDroid is a highly customizable and versatile Android reader app praised for supporting multiple formats and powerful rendering features ideal for scanned or margin-heavy documents. Users appreciate its long-term reliability and integrated tools like highlighting and Google search. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues with graphical bugs on newer Android versions, rigid and unmodifiable bookshelf management, suboptimal note-taking experiences, and limited zoom controls. Additionally, some UI inconsistencies in night mode affect visual comfort. Despite these drawbacks, it remains favored by many avid readers for its functionality.

Pros

Highly customizable interface with many options.
Excellent for reading various file types such as PDFs, epub, mobi, cbr, cbz, and scanned texts.
Powerful features like auto-crop, skew correction, split landscape pages enhance reading of poorly scanned or margin-heavy documents.
Supports long-term usage with features like saving reading position and good stability over years.
Includes useful tools like highlighting, notes, bookmarks, and integrated Google search for selected words.

Cons

Graphical issues and bugs occurring on Android 12, including problems with landscape mode and app freezing upon orientation change.
Bookshelf and library management is inflexible; automatic scanning creates unwanted 'bookshelves' and lacks customization or deletion options.
Annotation and note-taking features can alter handwriting undesirably and lack export options like saving notes as plain text.
Zoom controls are limited, particularly the inability to zoom out below 1.0x in vertical scroll mode with landscape orientation.
Some menus and UI elements do not consistently follow the night mode theme, making usage in dark environments less comfortable.

Recent reviews

The best book reader for phones and other android devices. I got this app after a long search many years ago for an ebook reader that would do what I wanted, which included cropping the space in pdf documents to make maximum use of a small screen. Later I repeatedly found it did everything else best too. Still my favoured app on from phone to chromebook, despite the different demands. Would be nice if a Windows version was developed - I'd use it there too! a

This app has everything I need to read any book. Only one thing I could suggest - add settings to set up target language for google translate, or at least memorize last used option, if it's possible, or add an ability to choose translate app, because my phone and app language are in English, but I'm not native in it and it's hard to switch the language each time. I have been using this app for years and happy. Kudos to developer!
