Available for the iPhone and iPad, Android devices, on the web, and for the Chrome browser through a Chrome Extension, this app plays host to any books you grab from Google Play, as well as PDFs and other formats downloaded from third-party sites.

The Google Play Books app isn’t as powerful as the Kindle app, but it’s no slouch. Mark up and annotate text passages, use an X-ray feature to get more details on characters and other elements, bookmark your current page and search for specific text. Need the definition of a certain word? Just highlight it, and a dictionary or Wikipedia entry pops up to describe it. While reading, you can easily change the color, font, text size, line spacing, and other attributes.
