Amazon Kindle

This application is popular for several reasons. First of all, it is free. Also, it is available for Android and iOS and has a huge marketplace of titles to choose from (more than a million). There are also great library management functions. 

Another benefit is that the classic literature is often available for free as the copyright has expired already. Also, one can have a free sample of any title before purchasing it. Magazines and newspapers are available too.

Students will also like screen customizations, like fonts and brightness. One can leave notes and bookmarks in the texts.

NOOK

Barnes & Noble has created their app with more than 4.5 million titles in the store. Here, one can find novels, magazines, comics, or publications for kids (for example, if you do some babysitting). NOOK is available for both iOS and Android devices, so everyone can enjoy it.

The catalog is neatly organized according to the publisher’s categories. There is also a custom recommendation feature, which is incredibly helpful when you do not know what to read. 

The screen settings are also a plus – one can adjust fonts, brightness, spacing, and margins. It is also useful for learning as you can leave notes and highlights. Students might enjoy the quote cards feature.

Kobo Books

One of the main benefits of this app is that it supports e-books as well as audiobooks, so you can have them all in one place. It also offers an excellent marketplace with more than 6 million titles, which is impressive. 

The store is very easy to navigate and everything is organized into categories. And you can sort search results by different factors, like price or rating, for example.

It is available for a multitude of devices, has free previews for many titles, and remembers where you’ve left your text at. Students might appreciate night mode for reading in the dark, which is much more comfortable with eyes.

Libby

One of the main concerns for students is budgeting. It’s understandable that not everyone can spend a lot of money on e-books. If you want to save some money, this app is a great choice. It allows lending digital titles from libraries. They are available in text and audio format.

It is free and all you need is your library card. With it, you can navigate the digital catalog of the library and choose something to enjoy without paying anything. Students can sign in with multiple libraries to find more titles and download books.

Moon+Reader

This Android app has no marketplace attached but can serve as a perfect way to read all of the texts you already have.

It is free to use and supports a multitude of formats, such as epub, txt, fb2, zip, HTML, etc. In terms of screen settings, one can adjust not only fonts and sizes, but also background, auto-scroll, and view modes.

tiReader

It is a dashing all-in-one solution for iOS devices. One can view digital texts, digital comics, and audiobooks with it. The application supports different formats, from PDF and epub to cbsz. Students can leave bookmarks, use night mode, or sync data through several devices.

The free subscription allows adding 5 free titles to your library. The unlimited access costs $4.99. But if you do not want to spend anything, you can just delete some titles and add new ones to this 5-title limit.

Aldiko

It is another multi-device reading software that is perfect to navigate your library. It supports such formats as epub, PDF, Adobe DRM, and many others. The screen is highly adjustable, from fonts to colors. It offers quite a comfortable reading experience. 

It doesn’t automatically save reading sessions, which can be a benefit if you want to save some memory space on your smartphone.

Yet, there is an opportunity to import your titles into the app’s digital shelf and the sessions will be remembered. The main features are available for free, but a premium subscription provides notes and highlights.

Scribd

Scribd is a well-known and beloved tool. It is not free but costs $8.99 per month. Yet, you may consider the advantages it gives. It gives unlimited access to all the titles available in the library, which has about 500,000 e-books in it. 

There is an editor’s collection to select something recommended if you do not know what to read. The screen is adjustable for comfortable use.

Other benefits include personalized recommendations based on your reading and the opportunity to download titles and enjoy them offline. And there are audiobooks too!

FBReader

FBREader is a free Android tool. It is a simple yet effective technological solution. It supports a lot of formats, like DOC, zip, HTML, epub, MOBI, RTF, and many others.

The app has no library or marketplace but it is very comfortable to use for reading books or other texts from your smartphone. This way students can access any of their study materials at any time.

There are plenty of customization functions, like text colors or background. One can also browse and download various titles online. The app is localized for 34 languages, which is an excellent feature for those whose native language is not English.
