  1. This is an excellent list of the best book apps that there is. I actually have tried some of these apps myself like Wattpad and Goodreads and I think that they are awesome. They really have great features to offer to its users and I enjoyed reading books with these apps. I recently started this new app that allows you to read books offline,
