I've used this on my nokia n810 which I no longer have. It's quite excellent actually...at least on the n810 it was. Supports a lot of formats. Hopefully the author gets it into the market.

I just downloaded it and it looks very useful. I really can't find a use for it right now because as far as I know, it currenlty doesn't support any TXT, PDF, or DOC file types. I might download some epub, oeb, or fb2 books once I get home later tonight.

Does it support .pdb (eReader) files?

There's another ebook reader called Aldiko on Android market, allows you to browse, download and read extensive online catalog as well as import your own ebooks http://www.aldiko.com/

I'm considering getting an android phone, but only if it has a decent ebook reader.

If anyone wants to try this app out on a free full-length ebook and figure out what formats work the best, this link will take you to a site that offers a free download in almost every format (mobi, epub, pdb, pdf, etc.)

I'd love it if someone could tell which formats look the best.

I have tried it & like it. One bug/feature? - when I put my Motorola Droid to sleep from FBReaderJ it immediately wakes back up. I have to get out of FBReaderJ first in order to put the Droid to sleep.

I downloaded and tried this program but when trying to unlock the book I purchased from Barnes and Noble it fails. Since eReader is owned by B&N shouldn't this work? Even the free eBooks I d/l from B&N ask for a name and credit card for verification. Any suggestions?

i think they need to be .epub, .oeb, .fb2, .fb2.zip, and non-DRM
