We cannot deny one thing and that is, Android has made our work a lot easier. Even In Pakistan, most of the people do not have high tech laptops but now with the help of cheap tablet PCs they can do the same stuff that they will do on their computers (well most of it). That is, watching movies, doing assignments, sending emails, browsing websites and downloading torrents.
The Ipads are still very expensive in a society like Pakistan. But china made tablet computers are available in mere 7k.
These tablet PCs can perform nearly all the tasks that are described above.
But to carry out your chores on an Android tablet you will need:
1. A WiFi connection

The application allows users to open Epub files and op. Not only it allows them to read but also to view it in their own context. It allows day and night versions of them so they can read without getting strain on the eyes.
Functionality of moon+ reader:
moon+ reader has simple functions. It has a search bar through which user can find free books in at least 4 libraries from around the web and can read them anywhere as the files are downloaded on the tablet. We personally feel moon+ reader is best for small smart phone as the application can adjust the color of text and background as per user settings and small smart phones are not considered good for pdf files. Nevertheless, in case of this application, it shows fonts of Epub files according to the screen size that helps smart phone users to read books on smart phones.
