Printed books are far from dead and with the introduction of portable ebook readers and apps, reading has become more popular than ever. The ability to take a multitude of ebooks in one device, rather than require a lorry to follow you everywhere with the printed equivalent, is truly amazing. So, let's begin our journey by looking at some of the best freeware ebook apps available for Android.
Aldiko is an ebook reader application that runs on any Android device. With Aldiko, you can build and organize your digital library, read on the go and wirelessly browse and download from a broad range of digital publications right on your Android device.

Google Play Books now comes with integrated Google Translate, Wikipedia, Maps, and other resources. Google Play Books can handle all of your basic e-reading needs and then some. Just don't expect it to be capable of importing books from third-party sources. You can only use Play Books to read books bought through Google Play.

With a database of more than 12 million titles, Goodreads for Android is more than a social network for avid bookworms. It's where to go to figure out what's next on your reading list. You can keep collections of titles you want to read, review titles once you're finished and organize your reading history. Find content you might like from reading others' reviews and checking out what your friends are reading. However, the small e-book store contains just 2,000 free books.

With Amazon porting its famous Kindle Reader app for Android, Barnes and Noble is doing the same thing. There’s no need for you to own a NOOK tablet, as the application runs on any Android smartphone or tablet. With over 2 million books in Barnes and Noble’s arsenal, you’ll have your very own pocketable library at your fingerprints. Optimized for Android use, the app can easily mark your favorite magazine subscriptions like US Weekly, National Geographic, and The Oprah Magazine — free for a 14-day trial period. Previous users of the NOOK tablet will feel welcomed by the app as it sports the familiar user interface that they love and adore.

Wattpad is yet one more reminder that the stigma of being an unpublished author is dissipating as it allows anyone to share, read, and comment on stories and books written by fellow users. The library of content on Wattpad is impressive and growing, and the community is very active, sharing books that have been read 40,000 or more times in some categories. The result is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience for your Android.

The free (and appropriately named) Comics for Android has undergone a redesign that makes the buying and reading experience a simple and inviting endeavor, and puts it on a par with its iOS counterpart with HD support and the long-desired Fit-to-Width mode. Comics for Android is missing quite a few older books, and lacks some very cool features that are only available on the Comixology website, but comic book fans with Android devices should download this app now.

With Google Reader officially gone, Feedly might be your best bet as an app that lets you access your RSS feeds while on the go. It looks great, works well, and offers a number of different display options that some people think make it even better than Google's departed reader. At this point, the app still isn't perfect, but with all of the work its developers are dedicating to its improvement, it has a good chance of eventually getting there.
