> Can anyone recommend a high quality ebook reader app for Android, that would be compatible with one or more of the formats this site offers?
I use [Librera Reader](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/) and [Voice](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.ph1b.audiobook/) for audio books.
[KO-Reader](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.koreader.launcher.fdroid...) is also recommended, but the one above I found easier to use, though both seem highly recommended.
I found these Android apps from this [post on r/androidapps](https://old.reddit.com/user/Jackie7610/comments/lr5gag/list_...)
Basically just look for epub, as that is the open standard - though really it doesn't matter if you use [Calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/) as it can convert between them, but you have to check the types supported yourself...
> Also what is this "advanced epub" format they have? I can't see where they describe the actual difference with "compatible epub".
They have [an explanation here](https://standardebooks.org/help/how-to-use-our-ebooks#which-...), but I would say, when in doubt, just go with the compatible one.
Besides, it's just a book, I doubt anything will explode if you use the wrong the version...
It’s certainly not “serious math,” but I’m rather proud of this revision I made to the MathML used for a throwaway equation in an obscure short story: https://github.com/standardebooks/fritz-leiber_short-fiction...
I have a KOBO Libra H20, it is very good. I loaded KOReader on to it which adds functionality (https://github.com/koreader/koreader).
My wife is an admin on the PG project. She puts in a lot of effort to keep the site secure. I think they welcome efforts like yours, and reuse is part of why they exist! They also research the copyrights, to make sure they are clear to share.
I use Project Gutenberg a lot personally, and in fact I'm using one of their books as a study for my upcoming startup:

One thing I really like about the PG site is that a few years ago they removed most of the JavaScript, which IMO makes it more usable. I haven't looked at Standard Ebooks yet, but I look forward to. Thanks!
