1. Kobo Books
Kobo Books is just about the most complete eBook app you can find, which is why it ranks number one on our list. You will find a wide range of Dutch and English books via Kobo and the interface is made in such a way that it provides all the necessary comfort while reading.
You adjust your font and size and you can activate a night mode via this app. Also useful are the personal recommendations with which you always discover new books that interest you. Kobo also comes with subscriptions for real reading enthusiasts and also has audio books.

2. Google Play Books
Just like Kobo, Google Play Books has a nice library with both Dutch and English titles and the app also offers audio books. Play Books comes with a handy system where you can read a few pages before you decide to buy.
The app is also available on just about every platform, including the web browser. There is no subscription formula. For business users it is interesting that you can make notes in Play Books, which you can synchronize with teammates via Drive. Less good is the interface, which is slightly less convenient and comes with less good recommendations than Kobo.

3. eReader Prestigio
eReader ¨Prestigio is a versatile e-book app. It supports many different formats, and it has a nice interface. For example, you can place all your books in a virtual bookcase. The reading function is very extensive, because you can set the text size, background and font as desired.
In eReader Prestigio you can buy books yourself and you will also find free books, but the app is also very suitable for loading your existing book collection. Those who already have a large collection can use the handy filters to find exactly what they are looking for.

4. Amazon Kindle
Amazon Kindle has improved greatly in recent years when it comes to Dutch-language content. Previously you sometimes saw that Dutch content was sometimes less common or had a higher price compared to the English book, but that is a thing of the past.
Just like Kobo, this app also has an integrated dictionary with which you can immediately search for an explanation or more explanation on Wikipedia. In addition, you get enough options while reading to make reading comfortable. Interestingly, Kindle also displays a so-called Print Replica of your digital books, which is a high-resolution reproduction of the original print version.
Your library of books is synchronized with Kindle on all possible platforms and it is an advantage with Kindle that you can also find magazines and other news publications. Although you will sometimes see advertisements.

5. Scribd: Audiobooks & Ebooks
Scribd is one of the most popular e-reader apps, with over 10 million downloads worldwide in the Play Store alone. No other app comes close to a kind of Netflix e-book model, while most other services charge per book you buy. With Scribd, on the other hand, there is a monthly subscription of 10.99 euros, which gives you access to a huge library consisting of millions of e-books, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines and other documents.
Scribd will first introduce you to the formula, because you can use the app for free for 30 days. Another benefit is that new features and improvements are rolled out very often for Scribd and there is even a beta program in the Play Store that you can join.

6.ReadEra
Do you already have a large collection of e-books, but are you primarily looking for decent apps to read them? In that case, we are happy to introduce ReadEra. The app lets you read books for free in pdf, epub, doc, docx, rtf, mobi, fb2, djvu, txt and chm formats. She can show you books offline and it works without ads. The smart thing about ReadEra is that the app automatically saves the progress of books you read, even if files have been moved, or deleted and then downloaded again.
The app also comes with a built-in split-screen mode that lets you open multiple publications at once, and there are plenty of settings to customize reading to your liking. The downside to this app is that it doesn’t have its own store, so if you want to use it you’ll need to use another service that allows you to transfer your books to other platforms. The design of ReadEra isn’t very exciting either.
If you think ReadEra is a great app, you should also check out ReadEra Premium. This is an app that you buy once for 10.99 euros. You can use it to synchronize e-books on your devices. You can also add fonts, adjust the display of your library and change colors in quotes.
