Handy hints and tips from your fellow readers
Readers’ Tips
Read all ebook formats with ReadEra
In your answer to Tom Rathbone’s question about ebook formats (Issue 724, page 69) you could have mentioned the app ReadEra (https:// readera.org). I installed it on my iPad earlier this year and it supports so many different ebook formats that I’ve not found one I can’t open. You just import a book then read.
Most of its features are free and there are also options to convert the text into audio through the ‘Text to Speech’ feature. There are some handy customisation settings including making the font thicker and changing the line spacing (pictured).
Incidentally, I’m not the only fan of ReadEra. While installing it on my wife’s Android phone I noticed it has a 4.9-star rating on the Google Play Store. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an app so popular.

SOFTWARE
Minimise Quick Installer as it updates programs
I’m impressed by the simple design of Quick Installer (www. quickinstaller.net), which you recommended as one of your best new programs of 2026 (Issue 724, page 56). I like how it shows the software logos down the left-hand column ( 1 in our screenshot above right).
