I prefer Kindle myself, but it likely wont appeal to you given that you do need to register so that it can keep track of where you are up to across all your devices so you can continue reading a particular book at the point you got to previously when you stopped, on a different device. In your situation it would be very handy to have one that is fully integrated with one of those fitness bands that can work out when you are asleep, so it can stop playing and keep track of where you got to before you dropped off. Technically difficult to do tho without sensors on your head etc so it may not be available yet. > Googling, I find Lifehacker says its a Google app: > http://lifehacker.com/5875516/the-best-ereader-for-android > So does Gizmo's: > http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/best-free-ebook-reader-android.htm > And Getstuff: > http://getandroidstuff.com/best-ebook-reader-android-top-5-free-apps-for-epub-and-pdf/ > I had googled for 'best free ebook reader' and only Android apps popped > up, > so, looking for iOS specifically I find: > Gizmo's says it's the "Kindle Q": > http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/best-free-ebook-reader-ios.htm > Do you concur? Don’t use it myself because I use the real kindle app on iOS and Android and Win. Its happy to use anything you torrent or download from one of the free sites like Gutenberg, but works best if you register and logon because that allows it to keep track of where you got up to in all your ebooks across all your devices that you ever read an ebook on.

Ah. Thanks. You know me well. There's no need to *register* to read an ebook, so, I agree, it doesn't appeal to me in the least. Registration is a MARKETING ploy. I downloaded from F-Droid the EPUB3 Reader from MIT, version 1.0. It says the EPUB format is the de-facto open format for free ebooks. It doesn't need a registration and it's free. It doesn't do anything though, because I don't have any ebooks. :) > Don┤ use it myself because I use the real kindle app on iOS and Android and > Win. > > Its happy to use anything you torrent or download from one of the free sites > like > Gutenberg, but works best if you register and logon because that allows it > to keep > track of where you got up to in all your ebooks across all your devices that > you > ever read an ebook on. I get along just fine without registering for, say, Google Maps or Youtube, so, I should get along fine if the free Kindle ebook app allows me to NOT register and if it reads all formats. I don't have Google Play installed, but F-Droid didn't have the Kindle app, so, I temporarily installed Google Play and made up a temporary one-time-only Google account name and then downloaded the Kindle app from Amazon Mobile LLC (package name = com.amazon.kindle). The app installed version 7.2.0.27 into /data/app/com.amazon.kindle-1.apk and the data directory it created was /data/data/com.amazon.kindle but, as you noted, it doesn't seem to work without requiring a registration. I couldn't skip past it, so I deleted both Kindle and Google Play.

OTOH it should work fine without registering if you arent getting the ebooks from amazon and don’t need to have it keep track of where you are up to in the ebooks you are reading across a variety of devices you have the ebooks read to you on. Since you go to sleep with the ebook reader still reading the ebook to you, you have to keep track of where you got up before you dropped off yourself anyway. > Registration is a MARKETING ploy. Nope, it is essential for keeping track of where you got up to in the ebooks you are reading across the devices you use to read ebooks on and to keep track of what FREE ebooks you have got from Amazon. > I downloaded from F-Droid the EPUB3 Reader from MIT, version 1.0. > It says the EPUB format is the de-facto open format for free ebooks. > It doesn't need a registration and it's free. Just as true of Kindle. > It doesn't do anything though, because I don't have any ebooks. :) Trivially fixable.

With youtube you can't upload your own private videos. That is a quite useful way of allowing others to watch the videos you have produced without having to give them something physical like a USB stick etc, particularly if you are too stupid to ever use a cloud. And that's another thing bit of FUNCTIONALITY that iOS has that androids don’t. If you choose to email a video to someone, it offers to put it on their cloud and just have the link to that in the email. > so, I should get along fine if the free Kindle ebook app > allows me to NOT register and if it reads all formats. Doesn’t really need to be able to read all formats, its trivial to convert formats with Calibre which does run on linux and all the other major desktop OSs and is free. > I don't have Google Play installed, but F-Droid didn't have the Kindle > app, so, I temporarily installed Google Play and made up a temporary > one-time-only Google account name and then downloaded the Kindle > app from Amazon Mobile LLC (package name = com.amazon.kindle).

I think you hit upon a *major* distinction between the average iOS user and the average Android user, as defined by those who post their comments here. It seems the average iOS poster here wants desperately to *feel* safe, but they also don't want to do a whole lot of thinking - so - the one-and-only iOS App Store serves both purposes: 1. Apple MARKETING makes this iOS user *feel* safe 2. Therefore, this iOS user doesn't have to think all that much. In total contrast, this Android user wants to *be* safe(r) and doesn't mind *thinking* about the apps, and where I get them, and what they do. That's the major distinction: a. The iOS user wants to *feel* safe and think less; and therefore they put up with the huge limitations of the ecosystem which allows them to not think at all (which is what they prefer most). b. This Android user wants to *be* safe(r) but also doesn't mind having to think a bit about where he gets his apps, and what they do, and how to work around what they do. The iOS user deprecates thinking, avoiding it at all cost, and, even saying many times that having to think to get what they want is what they abhor most. They'd much rather Apple MARKETING do all the thinking for them. Which is why Apple is one of the most profitable companies on earth.

It is that for completely different reasons, because they own the idevice market. No one owns the android market and google doesn’t make its money flogging android devices.

In a separate thread, we have already shown that *nobody* is safe using a cellphone, simply because the technology of the consumer cellphone is unsafe. So, the iOS user, as usual, is deluded by the Apple M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G which only makes them *feel* safe, and which makes them feel that they can leave the DECISIONS to Apple MARKETING, whom they *think* will *keep* them safe. The average iOS user: a. Doesn't want to think (they want Apple to do their thinking for them), b. And, wants desperately to *feel* safe based on those Apple decisions. Meanwhile, Apple laughs all the way to the bank. (And the hackers laugh just as much.) >> but they also don't want to do a whole lot of thinking > > They clearly have thought that question thru. Have they? Really? While you can easily set the permissions of any app on either iOS or Android, you can't even *remove* the AdId on iOS for heaven's sake.

For example, I got a free 64GB iPhone 6 for a relative recently, which we're going to turn into a free 32GB iPhone 7 if she wants. Likewise, I got free iPads and I only paid something like $200 years ago for an iPhone 3 that I jailbroke to work with T-Mobile. So, sometimes, even "I" can think when on iOS (but I try to get everything for free and that takes intelligence and effort). Any fool can spend money to get something. It takes intelligence to get the best, for free. >> In total contrast, this Android user wants to *be* safe(r) and doesn't >> mind >> *thinking* about the apps, and where I get them, and what they do. > > Fuck all do anything other that use google's store when it is available. Huh? I don't understand that statement in the least. Would you kindly rephrase? I use Google Play only when I need to. Otherwise, it's turned off and the account is deleted: http://cubeupload.com/im/bEVyw7.png >> That's the major distinction: > > Nope. I think it is. a. The iOS user wants to *feel* safe, and, b. They abdicate all responsibility allowing Apple MARKETING to make their decisions for them. Otherwise, why can't the iOS user install something as simple as a bittorrent app or an automatic call recorder? Every time I ask, nospam says they're not safe. Who decides they're not safe? Answer = APPLE MARKETING >> a. The iOS user wants to *feel* safe > > They KNOW they are MUCH safer. > >> and think less; > > Another bare faced lie. Usually I learn the most about iOS users from the simplest of all users (e.g., Jamie KG or the Jolly Troll), but what I've learned from you more complex users is that you desperately want to abdicate all decisions to APPLE MARKETING on how to *feel* safer. That's why it's ok with nospam that APPLE MARKETING decides that torrents are bad, or that automatic call recording is bad. He's perfectly happy abdicating all safety questions to Apple MARKETING. And Apple MARKETING is perfectly happy to make those decisions for him. Meanwhile, they laugh all the way to the bank. > >> and therefore they put up with the huge limitations of the ecosystem > > There are fuck all limitations with the ecosystem. If there aren't limitations with the ecosystem, then tell me how it does automatic call recording of *more* than 200 phone calls, except that it won't record phone calls from contacts you list in the whitelist, and it's all free? What's that? The ecosystem can't do that? How about torrenting a file? Can't even do that? How about a full-fledged app drawer so that you can hide less-often-used apps? What? Can't even do something as simple as that? What about organizing the icons on the desktop in any grid you want? What? It can't even organize icons? What is this brain-dead primitive ecosystem for heaven's sake?

More of your bare faced lies/pathetic excuse for a troll. We KNOW that our personal data is MUCH safer. We have abdicated NOTHING. We arent desperate either, we just have enough of a clue to choose to use what makes our personal data much safer when the downsides of doing that arent important enough to matter. And ALL of us ALSO use other systems where our personal data is not as safe, so your bare face lie/pathetic excuse for a troll has blown up in your face and covered you with black stuff and exposed your for the pathological liar/pathetic excuse for a lying troll you have always been. > That's why it's ok with nospam that APPLE MARKETING decides > that torrents are bad, or that automatic call recording is bad.

SS7 flaws are completely irrelevant to the terminal stupidity and lack of safety you are stuck with if you are actually stupid enough to not have a cellphone at all because you are paranoid about SS7 flaws. >>> So, the iOS user, as usual, is deluded by the Apple M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G >> Nothing whatever to do with any marketing. > heh heh ... iOS decisions have nothing to do with MARKETING.

I never ever said anything even remotely like that, you carefully deleted from the quoting what I said that about. <reams of your flagrant dishonesty and lies flushed where they belong> >>> which only makes them *feel* safe, >> They are in fact MUCH safer. > I'm glad you *feel* safer.

Thanks for the pointer. Remember, the whole point is the *audio*, not the book, per se. So the *player* has to have the capability of reading out the text in the background with the screen turned off. That's what this thread is about, after all.

Audio books are, by definition, audio. The problem with audio books from your local library is that they will probably be DRM encoded. That means that you will either need to break the DRM or use their application for listening to them. That application will be free but will ensure that you "return" the book on time. >So the *player* has to have the capability of reading out the text I think the computer conversion of text to speech will not meet your needs. Start with real audio books that have been "converted" by a human, preferably a human whose voice you like. TTS will result in a dreary tone that could put you to sleep but you will be startled every few minutes by the gross, often comic, mispronunciation of names that you are familiar with. > > in the background with the screen turned off. > That's what this thread is about, after all. I assume you already have an audio player that allows you to listen without having anything on the screen.

Gutenberg has audiobooks? I think not. You maybe thinking of Librivox: https://librivox.org/ Also, you can easily locate a free software service that will convert from youtube format to mp3 which is what most audioplayers, hardware and software, easily handle.

They have some audiobooks on the Gutenberg site but they all seem to be Livrivox recordings that they listed. You get a bigger collection if you go to the source.

Why not just use text-to-speech and feed any Horace Algier ... oops I mean "Aardvarks"... oops I mean "Paul M. Cook"... oops I mean "VPN User"... oops I mean "Joe Clock"... oops I mean "Marob Katon" ... oops I mean "Chris Rangoon"... thread into it!? Should put *anyone* into a deep sleep (nightmare?) in notime.
