What Are the Best Fire Tablet Apps for Reading?
1. Goodreads – Free
Goodreads is a must-have app for bookworms who are always looking for e-books to hoard. This app is one of our personal favorites because it enables users to read honest reader comments and ratings. Do you want to know what is the best book on psychological thrillers? Goodreads hosts a yearly contest which showcases the best book in every category; fiction, non-fiction, thrillers, comedy, etc. You can even set a reading challenge so you can push yourself to read as many books as you’ve set in your goal. Goodreads has about 10 million members where you can interact and share your thoughts with. You can even check their profiles and see which book they are currently reading.
2. OverDrive: Library eBooks & Audiobooks – Free
How great would it be if the library comes to you? With OverDrive, it will. Are you worried about late fees? With OverDrive, all e-books and audiobooks that you borrowed are automatically returned. It is perfect for students, book lovers, or baby boomers who enjoy reading or listening to stories during their free times. All you need is a valid account from libraries or institution, and you’re a tap away from your next favorite read.
3. ComiCat (Comic Reader/Viewer) – $2.99
Are you still reading your comics in PDF format? Do you need to be connected to the internet just to enjoy your comic book? ComiCat reads all popular formats like CBT, CBZ, PDF, CB7, and CBR so you can carry your comics everywhere you go. Manga fans will also love this app because it has multiple view modes with a right to left reading order. You can even assign gestures for page turns, fast reverse, or any navigation preferences.
4. Wattpad – Free
Wattpad doesn’t only provide free reading materials to its users; it also provides opportunities for potential writers to showcase their literary works. You can read novels, novelettes, or narratives written by millions of budding storytellers. You can even publish your own work too. It has over 10 million free books from different categories; romance, Sci-Fi, psychological thrillers, detective, etc. You will also find novellas from renowned writers at Wattpad. Connect with other Wattpad users by creating your own Wattpad profile. Interact, share ideas, and give re-constructive criticisms to get better at writing.
5. Free Books – Free
Aside from the hand-picked free e-books, you can also purchase other books at an affordable price of $1, $2, or $3. It even tags the books showcased on this reading app as “Get It Now”, “Strongly Recommended” or “Recommended” so you can save time searching and sorting out literary works. Its downside? Book covers will not be visible on the app so you’ll be choosing your books without those catchy jackets. Plus, if you are looking for a minimalistic and classy look, you’ll be disappointed because Free Books doesn’t have that. Note: Free Books reading app is optimized for Kindle Fire Original Version and Kindle Fire HD.
6. Wunderlist – Free
One of the best things about this app is its interface. It is beautifully crafted and very easy to use. From making long to-do lists to planning a wedding, there is nothing this app cannot do. All the created lists are easily accessible not only from your phone but also your tablet and PC. Plan anything by creating personalized lists and collaborate them with your family and friends by sharing your list. You can even start conversations about the tasks right on the app. Assign individual tasks to different people, and they can update the list as they complete them. You can even attach photos, presentations, as well as PDFs to the tasks making it a perfect match for college students as well as office projects.
7. VLC for Fire – Free
VLC Player is one of the most remarkable pieces of free software we’ve seen. Not only is it lightweight, but it also offers almost every feature you would want from a video player. It is a completely free video player that can play almost any kind of format on your device. The best part? It works perfectly well with game controllers as well as Fire TV Voice Remote, so you have complete freedom of input.
