Lithium: EPUB Reader

A Google user

Five stars - absolutely no complaints, especially considering that this app is free, doesn't annoy you with ads or unwanted upsell or 'please review me' messages. It has a clean interface that is easy to use, finds your books automatically, renders text nicely, and has sufficient customization options so that anybody should be able to find comfortable settings (font, text size, scroll mode, etc.) Very rarely, it will struggle to properly rasterize certain combinations of display orientation/resolution and text size, causing a few letters to be cut off beyond the edge of the screen. However, such incidents are very rare, and can always be ameliorated with some simple adjustment; increasing the margin percentage or tinkering with the font size is usually sufficient. Again, this is rare enough to be inconsequential. This app could benefit from a wider variety of font options, but the ones that are available are certainly adequate, especially considering the $0 price tag. One feature I would like to see added is an option to disable text highlighting - I often find myself accidentally highlighting passages (especially when sleepy and coordination is suffering!). Then, I have to manually remove all the randomly scattered yellow and purple graffiti that makes the book appear to have fallen into the clutches of an underline-crayon-wielding toddler on a mission. (This is absolutely self-inflicted damage, admittedly caused by user error; but, since I never use the highlighting feature intentionally, I would love an additional safeguard against its accidental deployment.) Same goes for the sliding scroll bar at the bottom - it can be easy to accidentally skip way ahead in the book while trying to scroll vertically, if the Android OS misinterprets an intended scrolling gesture as a clicking gesture. I would love to be able to just permanently disable that slider from appearing. Bottom line is that, regardless of those few nitpicks, this app is very good at what it does - to the point where I don't have any interest in testing any potential competitors. Install without hesitation!
