Nomad Reader
Application is still in beta stage and updated frequently.
Reader also works on Nook Touch utilizing its hardware buttons and using improved e-ink font rendering, very fast page turns and black-and-white library mode.Starting with build 0.8.13reader supports Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and other right-to-left reading languages (Honeycomb recommended for better Arabic support). Note that right-to-left languages require valid paragraph formatting and 'direction' tag.

Useful, thanks for no internet access permission.
The design of the app is exactly what I've been looking for. Simple and minimalist epub reader with the ability to customize text color and size to mimic the shades of an e-ink reader. However some text which are indented do not show up. They show up as blanks. Which is disturbing to person reading mostly nonfiction. Please fix that and it's a 5 star app.
After I updated this app it wouldn't allow me to change to a different book even though I was done reading previous book. I had to go into my setting and erase my data for it to allow me to change my book. It was an inconvenience for me because I had to reset my setting every time. I deleted this app and am now going to try another app.
Android on external SD so app installed there. Won't recognize my internal storage where my books are. Fix this and I'll try it again.
Found a book on Gutenberg that I wanted to read ( Goops and How to Be Them by Gelett Burgess) but this reader didn't show the text at all. I love the idea of a reader that will let me read free books I download. (Amazon's Kindle store wanted $2.50 for the same 100 year old book.) I really want this app to work, but it doesn't.
After opening a book it won't let me go back into the library and the only way to close the application is using the tablet's "home button". Please fix that. Otherwise it's a very good application.
i don't like what i'm seeing everytime i start the application. it looks like a messy file explorer, not a library.
Doesn't work for Hebrew epub. Each word is displayed correctly, but the order of words is from right to left.
Excellent flowcharting. Not used reading;but impressive beginning upon 'opening'. Good branching/ coding. FDJeff
Like this app didn't let me search for books! It totally sucked!
finally i find it here. thanks for the great app.
I use this app to read Arabic epubs. Thank you.
It reads Arabic in reverse: esrever ni cibarA sdaer tI Fix that.
Nice to meet your app. Pretty cool. Aka WarBot.
The text is laid as in a notepad! As a user of Aldiko, I am not able to let it for this app. I will stand with Aldiko for now. Uninstalling... Note n7000 JB 4.2.2 Carbon ROM
Good but needs to support other encodings
working great on the nook - thanks
Images not supported poor layout
This could read arabic but still inverted.
The best reader on the market. Simple and to the point.
Arabic text rendered in the wrong direction Ui less intuitive Thanks for your effort building this epub reader :)
Simple, quick, scanned and imported 2000 epubs into library in under five minutes. Rendering needs some improvement. Like it!
The direction of Hebrew text is wrong - i.e. the word's order is right, yet letters order within the word is opposite. GN1, GB 2.3.5, CM7
Does not format text properly- needs inprovement
Library view is too small.
Gives brief introduction of the book.
Like it, but doesn't bookmark
What can I say, supports reading Arabic on non-localized devices. Bravo and excellent work. Thank you for the great effort & care in this masterpiece.
Doesn't render all pages correctly, but I absolutely love the interface. I can't wait for rendering to improve. I really like this app.
Best ebook reader in the store! Excellent ui, simple & clean layout, optimum features. Highly recommended. Thanks.
