The iPhone gets a lot of the attention when it comes to smartphones, but signs point to Android playing a huge role in the growing smartphone market, with 20+ new devices by the end of this year worldwide (like the Motorola Droid). O’Reilly readers with an Android device can now browse and buy via the online catalog in the Aldiko ereader app.
Buying through Aldiko gets you the same DRM-free ebook bundle offered on oreilly.com (and there’s even a 15% discount applied at checkout).
The catalog is implemented using a prototype of the OPDS spec, part of the BookServer architecture.
