Android phone reaches stores October 17

For those tuning in late, FBReader is to work on the Android platform. FBReader is a promising open source e-reading program that handles ePub among other formats.

I’d love to hear from Lexcycle, the people behind the Stanza reader for the iPhone, what their Android plans might be. Same for Feedbooks? Hello, Hadrien at Feed? Will we see the same use of Stanza to pick up Feedbooks’ titles from within the program?

  1. We at Lexcycle are indeed working on an Android version of Stanza. We don’t have any specific date for when the first version will be available, but we hope to have it out there soon.

    We are very excited about Android!

  2. Very excited about Android’s potential too. I’ll do my best to continue improving the experience too: I think that on mobile devices, recommendations are even more important than on a desktop computer. With less space on the screen, you need to optimize the “findability” of the content.
