Mobi reader, or other free e-reader

On my TP2, I had a mobi reader I used, since it was free.

Now, I can convert those to something else, if possible, just looking for a good free e-reader for my EVO.

Options?

Thanks!

I had problems loading to the Kindle with books from Manybooks.net. I ended up using Aldiko. I also have eReader installed for books in that format.

Re: Mobi reader, or other free e-reader

try aldiko. the free version is great. You can batch convert your e-books to .epubs by using Callibre on your PC. Plus you can download any public domain book ala frankenstein, dante, common sense, etc... It has a few great features like being able to invert colors and dim the screen if you like to read before bed without hurting your eyes.

Re: Mobi reader, or other free e-reader

I have been using Laputa, but I don't see any love for it on forums or anywhere else. Is there something wrong with Laputa that I don't know about?
