    Silly question: I mostly use FBReader on my Android tablet, but it only opens one book at a time. Since I generally have half a dozen or so "on the go" (a couple of fiction, a few technical) I end up with half a dozen different book readers, all of which work differently. I know I can use the "recent books" list in FBReader, but that's clumsy and annoying. Anyone seen anything "nice" that has multiple books and lets you switch between them without leaving the app?

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        Always annoys me, the kindle app - I've yet to find a way to load my non-amazon books into it without moving them from the nice, tidy, my author/series/group/book hierarchy they share (and update via FTP) with my NAS. I know I can move / copy them into the Kindle folder on the tablet, but that kinda defeats the purpose of spending all that time tidying them and their names! :laugh:

          You never mentioned OTHER requirements, if you fail to do the specification properly don't complain about the result

                      Moon+ Reader Free version is OK, but it's worth paying for PRO.

                        I've heard a lot of good things about Aldiko's[^] library management features. Never used it myself though; my eInk kindle does everything I need.

                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                          One of the beauties of being a developer is that if something does not work as you'd like, you can always make your own! :cool:
