Hey all i was wondering which was the best ebook reader?

I'm using Mobipocket, and I like it. The PC version can convert any doc or html file into it's own format.
i use iSilo! Satisfied with it!

Which one of these formats would be easier viewed/converted to read on my G1 if I was to buy this book.

If you guys can help me out by providing the program that could convert any of these formats to view on my G1, keep in mind when you click on the adobe version its says "Digital Edition" and said it would not work with regular Adobe reader, it needs the digital edition.
Microsoft Reader files are the easiest of the ones you mentioned to convert....if they don't have DRM, which most online books would have. There is a command-line program called "clit" (convert-lit: I didn't make it up) that works in Linux and, I think, Windows. Again, if the file has DRM, it probably won't work, but I'm sure there are ways around that.
Sony's eReader (lrf) format still stinks as far as conversion goes...as does Adobe's PDF format. I believe they're possible to convert to html or txt, but the tools to do so are expensive. I'm not sure about mobipocket format.
I haven't converted files in a while (and most of my conversion is from html to Sony format) so my info might be out of date.
A good site to check out is http://mobileread.com. They're to eBooks what xda is to HTC phones. They have both forums and a wiki full of information that could be of help.
In particular, check this wiki page out: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_conversion
Thanks alot for your help.
Hey guys, so since Ive bought my tab, ive been trying to find a way to view my magazines on the tab similar to an ebook. I believe ive tried all of the ereader apps in the market (nook, b&n, aldiko...) but my issue is converting them. I use caliber to convert the magz from pdf to epub, and even pdf to mobi. but they dont take up the full screen. any ideas?
I use the official Adobe reader app (free), the built in Office app, and ezPDF (99c). EzPDF does page turning with an animation but it needs to cache the pages after it, so if you're flipping through a bunch of ads it can be pokey. Works really well for comics though.

I work for a massive newspaper company here in the UK so I can get hundreds of different papers in PDF, the only problem is they are over 100Mb each, the Adobe Reader crashes and is unusable, I fine opening them in the office app works brilliantly
Although it is sub-optimal, another solution consists in converting each page of the PDF to a high-resolution JPEG image, zip all the images into a CBR file, and view using a comic book reader. I say it is sub-optimal because I much prefer reflowable text (EPUB or HTML), but some picture-rich magazine formats are sometimes more enjoyable in their full fixed-layout glory.
Does the KF support PDF books as well? I'm still playing around with mine and there are a few books I'd like to check out from from my local library which is still in the dark ages. Many books are only available in Adobe Epub or PDF formats and not yet available for Kindle. I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and purchase the book or is there a way I can read one of those formats on the Kindle Fire?
Yes. But the included PDF reader (QuickOffice) is 'meh'. It loads pages quickly, you can select text, jump around, and search, but it doesn't save your last location, and you can't put notes within it.
I've tried so many PDF reading apps to fulfill the above, and the one I recommend is ezPDF Reader Pro @ $2.99.
You could always convert the pdf into an ebook format using calibre or any other converting programs. I did and it works fine. You can also convert epub books too.
For ebooks I strongly recommend that you use ePubs over PDFs whenever possible, it's just a much better format for the reading experience in my opinion.
If you do decide to use ePubs, I am a strong advocate of Aldiko. It is the absolute best reading app for android.
For me, some pdf books do not convert well to epub with Calibre. So a good pdf reader is important.
I will check out ezPDF Reader Pro Printerscape.
The other pdf reader I was looking at was Repligo Reader recommended from another post.
Added: Aldiko does not seem to work well on my KF. For .epub I really like using the Nook reader.
I'm also using ezPDF Reader Pro love it.
What they said. Convert to ePub or use adobe reader for free if you don't want to buy the paid app mentioned above (knowing adobe it might just be a crap app though)
I used Calibre to convert my pdf books into epub format and then transferred them over to my N7. But when i use alkido or mantano apps to read them the book format has 2/3 pages on the screen??
I thought epub was the format of choice for using on the N7?
Can someone tell me how I can get my books to display well as a single page while trying to read them as they are useless the other way above.
Thanks.
You might need to tweak some of the many settings when converting your book. Or try the original format, aldiko supports a few.
I have tried several ways to try and convert PDF to epub format. I got fed up in the end with the messed up outputs, eventually finding it easier to use ezpdf for reading PDF files

Although I haven't followed caliber recently, PDF was always troublesome as a source format: nature of the beast, according to the developer.
As you've discovered, you'll almost always be better off with an original PDF rather than converting that PDF.
