Four Best Free Ebook Readers

Kindle for PC
 
Amazon's official Kindle for PC ebook reader is smart and stylish ­ and although it tempts you with reading suggestions from the Kindle store, the sales pitch isn't too in-your-face. There's no setup necessary if you already have an Amazon account. Just log in with your usual username and password and your virtual shelves will be populated automatically. Kindle for Windows also includes text-tospeech function, and changing font sizes and color schemes is as simple as clicking or tapping a button.

Freda
 
Freda is a superb ebook reader that integrates with Project Gutenberg, giving you access to thousands of free ebooks, and Smashwords, where you can find works from independent authors and publishers. Importing your own ebooks is a piece of cake too, with support for all the most popular formats.Freda supports bookmarks, annotations and highlighting, making it a good choice for students. There's also text-to-speech for anyone who has trouble with text on screens, as well as auto-scroll and speed-read -a tool that works much like Spritz, displaying words in quick succession so you can read without moving your eyes.

Sumatra PDF
 
Despite its name, Sumatra PDF is a great little ebook reader, capable of displaying books in EPUB and MOBI format, as well as comic books in CBZ and CBR comic books. Sumatra PDF is a portable app, so you can save it to a USB stick or cloud storage service and use it on any PC. It's easy to adjust basic settings like font size, but Sumatra PDF's advanced options can only be edited by opening a text file and typing in new values. It's not difficult, but we'd prefer a graphical interface. There's no way to add notes or highlights, but the convenience of carrying your ebook library and reader anywhere might outweigh those drawbacks for you. 
 
Icecream Ebook Reader
 
Icecream specialises in smart, no-frills software, and Icecream Ebook Reader is no exception. It supports EPU B, MOBI, PDF and FB2 ebook formats, and once you've imported your books they're arranged in a neat bookshelf with a choice of viewing options. One particularly handy feature is the ability to archive and export your ebooks.The reader itself is similar to the Kindle app in appearance, with one-click (or tap) buttons for changing font size, colour theme (day, night, or sepia), and viewing the table of contents.

In this state of the art world, yes, the introduction of ebooks is essential for peripatetic and tech-savvy people. The aforementioned recommendations of ebooks are useful for so many people of this generation. But yes, the pleasure of reading a paperback is incomparable to the joy of reading through Kindle and other ebooks!

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
