QReader is a simple text reader. It doesn’t support images but it has an excellent set of features to offer. The most important features (for me) are the great support of languages (including Arabic, and not reversed), the ability to search, autoscroll (also found in Mobipocket) and different background and foreground color options as well as some other features.
The main purpose of the post is Arabic books in general, and books of the Shaamila in particular so we will be focusing on QReader. In order to be able to read the Arabic text properly, the language setting that actually worked to show the text properly (as in the two images above) is like this:
That is to say, go to Settings -> Language. And choose these properties: Region -> Middle Eastern,Charset -> Arabic, Codepage -> Mac, and Text Direction -> Right-to-Left.
You yourself can export any books from the Shaamila yourself by using the export function. Alternatively you can directly download the books of any category prepared into text file format ready to use on the phone.
