So I have a Samsung Galaxy and I'm having trouble finding an app to view epub files. I currently use playbooks and it works great. The only downside to it is the fact that it won't open anything over 100mb. I've downloaded a bunch of others and they all either blow the font up extremely high or mess up the pictures or leave data out.
Can any of you recommend something?

Readium through Google Chrome is the 'suggested' reader. You need something to read EPUB 3 format if you're talking about recent GW EPUB publications. Older stuff, most readers should work just fine. I never had a problem with things like Calibre, iBooks or any of the other free apps available through Apple (which doesn't help you I know). It's only the new EPUB 3 format that screws things up.

Under the couch

I use Aldiko.

Occasionally has some odd format issues, but otherwise does the job just fine.

thanks guys.
maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I tried caliber and aldiko but they all seem to have the same problem that just about every other viewer I've tried has. here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
on one of the viewers I found an option to disable CSS coding and it allowed me to adjust the font but it still didn't work right. instead of words being on a picture it would be under them or sometimes it would only show half of an image.
so frustrating.

It makes a mess of some formatting of the .epub files I got, and I don't think it work with all .mobi files.
See how you do, though.

What picture?

You can't just add a picture to your post - you either upload a gaming related pic to your library and link it, or off-site host it and use their link (or use the "copy image url" thing).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

I uploaded a screen capture from my phone.
it basically had two letters on it but I guess from your response I shouldn't have done that.
