Android book reader (thinking Moon+)
MilesAhead:
Finally I am getting into some of these 21st century devices. I have an Android phone(Marshmallow) and an Android tablet(Lollipop.) I have Calibre on my PC. After reading about a few of the book readers for Android I am thinking Moon+ free since I can access my Google drive from all three systems.
If anyone is using Moon+ can you tell me if it is only the current bookmark that is synced in the Pro version? In other words, if I can store all my books on Google Drive using the free Moon+ I would like to try that out before worrying about doing the Pro. I am likely to do most reading using my Tablet.
I guess what I am asking is if anyone knows if I copy the Calibre library folder onto my Google drive that is associated with my Android devices, if the files will propagate when additions are made? The bookmark sync feature may be nice and perhaps in the future it may come in handy. But I would like to just get the basics handled for now.
I installed Moon+ reader on my phone and it automatically installed on the sd card(I formatted the card as phone storage rather than portable USB.) So I take that as a good sign. I have step by step setup from an online page but I'm on the lookout for any tips avoiding the most common stumbling blocks.
On my phone I find my favorite app so far is the one for the public transportation in Miami. I can check when the next train is due at a particular station and even if the elevator to the train platform is out of order before carding in and looking at the TV monitor. Help this troglodyte see the light! :)
I still hate trying to type into touch screen but I have to admit some of the stuff is fun to use. :)

I don't know anything about Moon+. I went with the free version of FBReader.

Thanks. I have that installed too. Along with one or two others. If Moon doesn't do what I need I'll study up on fbr. :)
Innuendo:
PSA: Moon Pro goes on sale 50% off often.

I vacillate between Moon+, EBookDroid, and just using the Nook reader or Kindle or Google Play Books. Never used any of the with Calibre, though.
I did notice this, however, and it's going to make me try FBReader:
FBReader Premium is 40% off till end of January 2017.
