Avoid going to version 2.1 – its definitely a backward step, lots of new features, but now is very slow to use. Size has increased dramatically to > 8Mb. Real pity, it was such a good app before this upgrade.

BLOATED! The latest V2 is bloated because of Adobe DRM.

Put your existing, non-DRMed epubs in the import directory, then from bookshelf view press import. It adds the content of the folder int your collection

I’m the one who is very eager to make the best use of the app. Aldiko. Reading books is so much a part of my life that I was very happy to find out the application Aldiko in my Gallaxy S, newly-born Samsung’s smartphone. These days I am so depressed ’cause it takes much time to open my books in the Aldiko. Delaying time makes me so boring and not appealled to the Aldiko. Why does it so much time to open the books? How can I fix the problem concerning the delaying time? I want to know the way to solve this problem. Do other smart-phone open the book in Aldiko so quickly? Please let me know the solution related to the delaying time? Thanks.

Did you figure out how to read EPUB files that you had previously acquired? I don’t see an option to open files that are not already on the bookshelf? I like the reader a lot but want to be able to transfer EPUB files that I already have on my computer to my Droid X and then read them with Aldiko. Any advice will be appreciated.

It reffers you to an online dictionary on Google's website, see how it looks in this screenshot: http://www.androidtapp.com/aldiko-book-reader/aldiko-book-reader-dictionary-definition/

Thanks for the review. One bit of information that I am unable to get anywhere is: which dictionary does it look up? Does it connect to an online dictionary – in which case internet connection must be working to use dictionary. Or does it only have an inbuilt dictionary – in which case it is fixed. Or can it take external dictionary? Like there are many dictionaries available which work for mobireader.

Can you search by book title or are you limited to searching through the titles they have listed? Also, can you read about the book before downloading?

This is a brilliant find! Thanks for reviewing the app in such detail. I was quite surprised to find an eBook app for Android (for some reason thought that was the domain of Kindle and other eBook readers) – I think I might try the Art of War (or Disappearing Completely) as they both feature as popular books.

Great app. I haven’t got it to read all of my old epubs just yet, but I think it’s probably just a matter of getting them into the right folder arrangement.

mwd:
There aren’t a whole lot of significant differences. I personally think the interface is much more polished. But Aldiko is free as well, unless you decide to pay for it (the free and paid versions are identical)

Are there significant differences with FBreader, which is free?
