## Description

EBookDroid is a highly customizable document reader app for Android devices, supporting a wide range of formats including PDF, DJVU, EPUB, XPS, FictionBook (fb2), Comics (cbr/cbz), RTF, MOBI, and AWZ3. It offers advanced font mapping techniques ensuring optimal reading quality by applying external fonts or default NimbusL where needed.

The app provides powerful reading tools such as text selection with dictionary support, text highlighting, free-hand annotations, and the ability to add notes on pages. Each document's layout can be customized individually, including features like page splitting, margin cropping, and zooming to specific columns, enhancing readability even for complex page layouts. EBookDroid also supports the OPDS protocol, enabling access to online electronic publication catalogs.

Designed for flexible and enhanced reading experiences, EBookDroid remembers your settings per book, making it ideal for readers who demand control over their digital documents. For any technical issues, users can consult the developer's support page with attached documents for assistance. Note that some file managers might require manual MIME type configurations to work seamlessly with the app.

## Review summary

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.
