“There are several features that make Reader worthy of its name.
For starters, Cool Reader really excels at format support: the app
can handle all popular ebook and text formats, including EPUB, FB2,
TXT, RTF, and HTML. But that?s only one of Cool Reader?s talents.
The app provides all essential features such as table of contents,
bookmarks, text search, and hyphenation (it comes with hyphenation
dictionaries for several languages). Cool Reader is also blazingly
fast, even when dealing with large files, which makes it a perfect
tool for reading lengthy and graphics-heavy ebooks. Cool Reader
integrates nicely with the Fora Dictionary app, so you can look up
definitions and translate words. To look up a word, press the
Menubutton, tap on Select text, select the desired word and press
the A-Z button. You can perform other actions on the selected text,
too: copy the selection to the clipboard, create a bookmark from
the selection, and share the selected snippet using Android?s
sharing capabilities.”
