Dredging up back to the good ol’ days, most
people who are certified bookworms are found to be covered up with the pile of
books around them. You don’t even know if they are still there since they are
already “in the zone.” It seems like every turn of the page makes them forget
and escape reality for awhile—live in a whimsical world where anything you
imagine can happen.
Fast forward to today, how do you see most
of the bookworms now? And to answer that question, you’re definitely going to
see them staring down on their smartphones
and tablets. Not to say that the paperback or hardbound books are on their
way to the bin—trust me, a lot of people still read on real books—but in this
digitalized world, it’s not hard to find people reading digitalized books
especially if it proved the convenience it offers. So, are you ready to flip
the pages? Check out these Android apps for eBook Reading to know how much
handiness eBook reading could get:

and also tweak the page flip animation. You think that’s going to be all that

by Google itself, why not mention the other brainchild of Google, which is

day. You can get all the eBooks you want directly from the Play Store as Google

#3: Audible for Android
As what the name of app Audible for Android
implies, this one narrates the books you download. Simply put, the reading has
been done for its users. Let’s face it; we all get to the point when we’re so
tired to glue our eyes on our phone’s
screen protectors and read. Yet, we
have been left on a cliffhanger scene and just wouldn’t want to wait any more.
Not to worry since Audible can read it for you. Also, with this app you can do
multitasking, so you can be updated with the next chapter even if your texting,
cleaning your nails, or *insert anything that could steal away your attention
when you’re reading here*. It’s definitely worth a try, especially now that it
has over 150,000+ books. Apparently, hearing their books can cost $14.95 each
per month. But, the good thing about this app is that it lets you experience
your first listen with no cost at all.
