It’s aimed more at people who store all their ebooks on the device, add books occasionally, and don’t delete any books. Aldiko is not designed for rapid turnover of books. These are somewhat major usability issues, but the main problem I have with Aldiko is that it’s just not aimed at a user like me, who constantly switches out ebooks. This may have been due to me having two formats of the same file, but one would expect that any ereader should recognize this and adjust accordingly. On a related note, oftentimes Aldiko has multiple index entries for one book. Even reinstalling Aldiko doesn’t seem to fix this. First, it is awful at properly removing books: it leaves behind the tag information for files that have been deleted. The interface makes it a breeze to find books based on tags or authors, and keeps track of your recent reads, but it has some really annoying drawbacks. Aldiko’s great if you have a large, static, well-tagged collection of EPUBs. Until recently I was using Aldiko as my primary ebook reader, because it seems to be most popular reader, going both from the Android Market impression and Google searches for “Android ebook reader” and similar terms. (the other major contributor was my desire to be able to read research papers comfortably, but that’s an issue for another discussion) Namely, with more portability and a form factor closer to the usual book experience. Consider using Moon+Reader as your default reader unless you need Aldiko’s capabilities for dealing with large ebook collections, as Moon+Reader has a more polished reading experience than Aldiko.Ī major contributor to my decision to get an Android tablet was my desire to be able to read ebooks comfortably. Instead, a combination of Calibre, Moon+Reader, and DropBox seems to do the trick. Synopsis: Aldiko’s not appropriate if you plan on constantly rotating the collection of ebooks on your mobile device.
