FBReader for Android was written in Java as a clone of original (C++) FBReader book reader. It was named FBReaderJ, but now we prefer to write “FBReader for Android”. Initial version of FBReader for Android was partially written as a student project at Academy of Modern Software Engineering.

FBReader for Android supports a lot of e-book formats: epub, rtf, fb2, html, plain text and (partially) mobipocket. Direct reading from zip archives is supported.
