Kobo updated its ebook reading app for the Android platform. It’s a small but important update which we suggest downloading. Here’s why:
- There’s the ability to search, add and read Internet Archive ePubs – that’s over 1.9 million eBooks!
- You can now read ebooks in the ePub format, no matter where they are purchased from as long as they are DRM free.
- Reading features that are available for books from Kobo’s catalogue are now available on all books added to the library.
- Ebook sideloading is now easier to use.
In other words, if you occasionally (or often) enjoy reading ebooks on your Android smartphone, you’ll want to update. And if you own a device with 3.7-inch display or larger, you gotta be in this group. Why else do you need such a large screen (ok, web browsing and browsing through long lists is more convenient). Simply hit the Android Market icon and proceed to update…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
