All times are GMT The time now is PM. When you move to the next page, the old one will slide off to the side as the new one slides in. It's a subtle animation and is not too distracting. The program loads one section of the text at a time, so you will sometimes encounter a brief bit of lag when you are switching from the end of one chapter to the beginning of the next. It displays a loading spinner during those kinds of transitions so that you won't have to wonder if it is hanging.
One of my favorite features of Aldiko is that it provides a convenient way to adjust the screen brightness. You can drag your finger up and down alongside the left-hand side of the screen to raise or lower the brightness. This is really useful, because I tend to adjust the brightness a lot when I'm reading depending on the lighting conditions in the room. I generally prefer to keep the screen brightness low when I'm reading so that it's not as harsh on my eyes and so that I can conserve battery life.
When I'm reading outside, however, I generally have to crank it up because the screen on my Nexus One is difficult to read under direct sunlight unless it is at full brightness. Aldiko provides several mechanisms for navigating through a book, including a table-of-contents menu and a bookmark system. When you touch the screen, you can see a small progress indicator at the bottom of the page that will show you where you are in the current chapter or section.
If you want to see your position in the entire book, you can open the progress viewer from the application's menu. To add new items to Aldiko's library, you can import ePub files from your device's SD card or download complete books from several online content repositories that are supported by the software. Feedbooks, a website that distributes public domain literature and original content that is published under Creative Commons licenses, is one of the services that is accessible through Aldiko.
Doctorow, a well-known blogger at BoingBoing and vocal proponent of intellectual property reform, makes the books available under Creative Commons licenses so that they can be modified and redistributed freely. Aldiko displays download progress in Android's notification slider so that you can see when your downloads are complete.
Down and Out is the kind of book that I can generally read in a single sitting, so it offered a good opportunity to evaluate Aldiko's conduciveness to reading on my Nexus One. I was able to read the entire book on my smartphone without feeling fatigued or suffering eyestrain. I did, however, have to switch hands periodically to rest my tired thumbs. Adding other books to Aldiko's library is a bit less intuitive because the feature still has some rough edges.
Aldiko will create an eBooks folder on the root of your SD card to store ePub files, but it uses a separate SQLite database file to actually manage the contents of its library. Check out titles immediately and start reading seamlessly within the app. You can also have access to putting titles on hold or making early returns, too.
Choose from over 1. Check out titles from your local library within the app. Instantly read all your ebooks and listen to all your audiobooks without ever leaving Aldiko. There are so many different ways to fall in love with a book now. The joy of finding a book you want and getting lost in it. Get excited for the titles you want. The ebook reader lets you customize your reading experience to your liking. From fonts, to margins, line spacing and text alignment, tweak practically every setting you want.
