28 O’Reilly Books Now Available as Android Apps Using Aldiko Technology

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

O’Reilly has made 28 of their titles available on the Android market as standalone book apps using Aldiko technology. These include  “The Twitter Book” , “Facebook : The Missing Menu”, “YouTube, an insider’s guide” and more. All of the book apps are under the “Reference” category on the Android market, you can see the full list here.

The standalone book apps were built on top of the Aldiko Book Reader, therefore, you can find most of the features of Aldiko, including navigation control, search, bookmark, dictionary, front, margin and alignment setting, day/night theme and more. We did remove the library and import features because they are not needed in standalone book apps. All of the books are in non-DRMed ePub format, you can easily export the ePub files to your SD card by using the “Export” function and import them to Aldiko Book Reader.

We’re excited to see how nicely color images can be displayed on Aldiko. We adjusted the images dynamically to the size of the device’s display, you can see the images as you go through the book and you can also do a long press on images to view and zoom them in a separate window.

Moreover, you can do a long press on any link within a book to open them on browser.

You will also find the “Forward/Backward” feature very useful in O’Reilly’s book apps. It allows you to go back to where you were before clicking a link to a different section of a book.

The apps also showcase how we handle some complicated materials such as source code and table on a small display.

We’ re glad to work with O’Reilly and we’re happy to see ePub handles images and complicated materials well.  O’Reilly’s books are well-known for their high quality, for prices ranging from $2.99 to $4.99, it’s definitely a great deal.

Grab some and read them on the go! Happy reading!
