★★★★★ Bassam Bokhowa · Jul 26, 2011
What can I say, supports reading Arabic on non-localized devices. Bravo and excellent work. Thank you for the great effort & care in this masterpiece.
★★★★☆ A Google User · Dec 26, 2013
An easy app I have tons of books from my kindle, and I just got a new tablet that runs only Google books. In order to read books from my huge collection I have on Caliber I have to upload them to Google books then download them on my tablet which takes up twice as much data. These apps allows me put my books on my SD card and read them on here. Great pp

Did not like it :(... The text is laid as in a notepad! As a user of Aldiko, I am not able to let it for this app. I will stand with Aldiko for now. Uninstalling... Note n7000 JB 4.2.2 Carbon ROM
★★☆☆☆ Hakim · Aug 10, 2011

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Jun 22, 2015
Doesn't support Hebrew. Doesn't work for Hebrew epub. Each word is displayed correctly, but the order of words is from right to left.

Description by Alexei Garbuzenko Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Nomad Reader is small and fancy application designed for convenient epub and fb2 books reading. The program runs on Android 1.5-3.1, supports images, styles, internal and external fonts and many other features.
To simplify book selection reader is integrated with bookshelf with Cover Flow support.

Application is still in beta stage and updated frequently.

Reader also works on Nook Touch utilizing its hardware buttons and using improved e-ink font rendering, very fast page turns and black-and-white library mode.
Starting with build 0.8.13
reader supports Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and other right-to-left reading languages (Honeycomb recommended for better Arabic support). Note that right-to-left languages require valid paragraph formatting and 'direction' tag.

Reader does not contain any C++ code and supports any kind of architecture, including ARM, x86, MIPS and others.

Recent changes:
After 3 years Nomad Reader finaly got an update! I open sourced it on GitHub and now its code was modified byIvan Ivanenko, author of great e-book reading app Libri eReader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foobnix.pdf.reader

Changes:
- Android 6.0 support
- clicking on the center of the screen opens the menu
- broken books would not be re-opened on the next start
- adaptive font scale (not it is bound to device DPI)
- fb2.zip opening from other applications
