37 book apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: Wikipedia — #11 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
Book apps are reading software, audiobook services, library gateways and tools for managing a collection. People searching here often already have a library — and want to know which app can handle it.

So the first question is about formats and copy protection. Does the app read EPUB and PDF from your own sources, or only what was bought in its own store? Can notes, highlights and reading progress be exported? Then comes readability: adjustable type size and line spacing, a usable night mode, hyphenation, read-aloud. Audiobooks add speed control, a sleep timer and syncing across devices. And anyone using public libraries should check in advance whether the app supports the local lending systems. With subscription services the key distinction is whether you own a book or merely read and listen to it for as long as you keep paying — both are legitimate, but it is worth knowing which one you are buying.
The order comes from community votes, not sales figures. When two apps are level, the one more people voted on ranks higher.
