How to Read eBooks on Your Smartphone

Reading books on your smartphone can be very convenient. There are a variety of apps you can install that support different eBook formats. Android and iPhone are probably the most common, but even if you have a Windows Phone 6 or 7, Blackberry, WebOS, or Palm device you can still read eBooks on them.
