But I didn't realize the many other features that it offered, and the different uses I could find for it. Since discovering all that this app can do, I have really fallen in love with it.

Reading Addons for Firefox

I love connecting all of my reading sources together, which is what led me to buy a tablet a few years ago. It is always pleasant to be able to access ebooks, check out RSS feeds and read articles in the same place, and in a single format. Which is a luxury you can have on your browser, as well.

For anyone who uses Firefox, it is even simpler to get there benefits for your desktop. There are a ton of extensions that have been created for reading, whether that is books, articles, websites or blogs. Some even have compatibility with transcripts taken from videos.

Trying to decide which extensions are the best is difficult, because there is such a wealth of choice. But I would have to say these are the ones I have personally used and found truly useful.

FireFox Addons for Better Readability

Readability on websites is getting worse and worse. Maybe that is because people are putting less effort into their layouts, but I think it is the wider emphasis on advertisement. We all know the popular marketing tools, like calls to action and inner-post linking done on blogs. While usually it is done with a certain amount of restraint, there are those webmasters who go way overboard.

Of course, they have every right to do so. They are offering a free service, and they have to make a living and increase their own traffic. But when it detracts from the readability of the post, you have a serious problem. Since it isn't just small blogs having this issue, it is also a problem you are sure to notice. I never fail to be amazed by how many so-called "professional"sources are nearly unreadable.

While you can lodge a complaint with the site, it isn't likely to make a difference. So if you want to read these blogs and sources, but you don't want a headache, try one of these cool readability extensions for Firefox.

3 Cool Reading Apps for Android

Not everyone is a book lover, no matter how many times they give it a shot. Let's face it, reading just isn't for everyone. While I am an avid reader, I have many friends who haven't picked up a book since high school and just have no interest in doing so. Their hobbies reside elsewhere.

But not all reading apps are book centric. There are some that cover other literary areas, such as magazines, newspapers and even comic books.
