The use of the mobile is more and more widespread. We have gone from calling and writing SMS to managing stock operations from the mobile phone. Of course this extends to all areas, as you read. Before we needed a whole library to have hundreds of books, but now, with a six-inch mobile and an internet connection is enough. The many titles are saved in the cloud and we can access them through certain platforms. Many of them are paid apps like Amazon's Kindle. But if you want to try the experience of reading through a screen, we are going to put here some applications to read books for free on your mobile.
Some of these applications are limited in a basic version and others, their source of income is through ads. But after trying several, we are going to have the best we have found., where the ads are not intrusive and navigation is easy.
google play books
The application to read free books on the mobile par excellence. Google is a platform with multiple services. Play books is a simple application where you can buy books of any kind, but also add them easily. If you download any epub previously, you will be able to upload the file and have it loaded in the application. In addition, you can edit it as if it were a PDF. With nearly two million votes and over a billion downloads, it is one of the most downloaded apps on the Android market for books.
With Google integration, you can also use features such as voice control, Google Search or interactive chat. All these tools that we are familiar with having them natively on an Android device.
Wattpad
The application of the users for the users. This application not only allows you to read thousands of stories for free, it also has a network of writers that you can join. Each user can read and write their stories and share them with a community of 90 million people.
Unlike Google Play Books, Wattpad's model is through ads. You don't have to pay anything, but you will have to pause your reading in an average of three or four chapters to see ads. But if you also dare to write, who says you won't be the next Stephen King? Or the next JK Rowling?
eBiblio
eBiblio or how the new online public library can be known. The eBiblio system works like a traditional library. And it is that this application made for the government is adapted to reserve books, audiobooks, magazines or newspapers with your public library card. Just like the face-to-face model, you will have what you ask for on loan without time limitations. In fact, any problem with reserving within the application will be resolved by the library to which you are affiliated.. And although it still doesn't have reviews on Google Play, it does have more than a hundred thousand downloads.
Inkitt: Books & Novels
Inkitt is another free reading app.. With more than a million downloads and a score of 4.5/5, it is a very interesting option. It was born as an application to read books in English, although now there is a large community of readers in different languages. The interesting thing about this application is that there is a community of readers who, as a forum, recommend books. Being able to add other people and link with readers who have the same taste as you.
Its interface is very simple but very effective. With a distraction-free reading mode, with the possibility of increasing the font size and with more than a hundred thousand stories, you have no excuses not to read.
worldreader
An application that focuses on traveling people. Reading books from anywhere in the world for free is possible with WorldReader. You configure your location, your preferred language and read. This application has more limitations and a smaller library, although according to what the developers say they are expanding regularly. With more than one hundred thousand downloads it has a lowest score of 3.4/5, but this is based on the aspect of having to let the app know your location, rather than the reading model.
24Symbols
Unlike the others, this application does not indicate that it is a book by its name or its logo, but yes. This application has more than 100 thousand downloads and a 3.5/5 rating. This application will allow you to read hundreds of books in its free version, but if you want you can add the entire catalog in its premium version for only €9. If we count that each book can come out for an average of €12, with only €9 a month you can have an infinite number of them. But still, it offers a more limited free version.
This application also has a web version to read and manage any incident you have with the service.
