Are there alternatives to eBook readers?

If you do not want to get a new device to read eBooks, you can alternatively use a reading app. Amazon, for example, offers the Kindle app for iOS and Android devices. This allows you to read digital books on your smartphone or tablet instead of on an eBook reader. In addition to the app, Amazon also offers the option to read eBooks via the browser with the Kindle Cloud Reader. Other providers like Tolino also have their own reading app and web reader.
