Nook (and most other book readers) are epub, NOT PDF. You'll need to get something else to read PDF.

The guy above me doesn't know what he is talking about. All three major(Kindle, Nook, Sony) E-ink readers can read PDFs natively now. Just side load PDFs to "My Documents" folder. Nook can only read files in that folder.
Is there a way to read ebooks that I have saved on my sd? They are in epub format

*facepalm* This is a thread about the Nook for Android APP, not the Nook device! The person you corrected was right.

Hey..i tried the my documents, but nothing...how do i trace it FROM nook??
I've been having the same issue...I can't seem to figure out how to get the nook reader to recognize my books that I already have download from other places...and barnes and noble tech support was useless

Slight Hack
The only way I was able to read a non-BN book through the nook app is to replace the "Welcome to nook forAndroid.epub" file under the nook/MyDocuments with a different ePub. That way you can read a different book.
Crappy "hack" but it worked for me to read another book. Not sure why they have a MyDocuments folder if it does not read files from there..

Well its not the best method but it gets sh1t done ... I really hate apps that cripple features or selectively forget to add them

Out of curiosity, what formats does this reader support? Not that it matters too much, I really can't see it being a patch on Allreader+ which is the best mobile ebook reader I have used bar perhaps Stanza.

ePub, the HTC reader supports the ePub format (don't know if it supports other formats as well). As of now only Freda supports this format. In addition, the HTC eReader support DRM protected ePub books (I have to test this out yet, but the device can be activated using the adobe server)
ebup and plain text both work, haven't tried anything else yet. Just have to access them via file manager, so I asecond the original question.

I second that also, but I think we just have to wait till someone is going to write a program for this. At this moment, there's a little work-around described here. This works very well, but is a bit cumbersome.
BTW, there is some interfacing possible with Adobe Digital Editions. When there is a active sync connection, one can activate the HD2 with this PC program and there is a possibility to copy books to the HD2. However the books copied to the device don't show up in the ereader tab.
On the 2.05 test rom there was a directory "Program Files/HTC Reader" in which there was a subdirectory "manifest". This name is also used by Adobe Digital Edition for its library.
(Not that this is of any use right now, but maybe someone can figure out how the HTC reader interfaces with Adobe Dig. Ed or for that matter, any other pc reader/manager)
btw http://www.epubbooks.com/books has many many free epub books.

it wont do this automagically. There's a database which holds all the books, unfortunately there's no tool available on WM to add new books.
I'll publish one soon.
EDIT: wont publish mine, as one has already been published.

So it doesn't read PDFs? Might have been worth using if it did so I'll stick to Allreader, any EPUB books I have can be easily converted to HTML.
calibre does a great job of converting to Epub
OT: Is there a way how make eReader read different character page correctly? I cannot read all Czech characters correctly, only some of them.

Is it possible to read pdf books in a e reader? If so, which e reader is best for reading pdfs. I have some pdfs of books that I would like to read on my phone using an e reader. I can use adobe acrobat but I have to zoom in and zoom out which is a pain in the butt.
Thanks.
p.s. Im not sure if these pdfs are specially made for e-readers. I would love to have an e-reader which can conveniently display normally created pdf books as well.

I had this issue when i was using a small screen windows mobile phone. My fix was to convert the PDF to text. That way it was more easy to view. Then i would create a .epub file that most e readers use, (with the exception of the ones who need to feel special) this way pages get formatted to a small screen and are a bit easier to read then the pdf.
Also this site may help

So I convert my pdf and then view them in Google reader or kindle reader etc??
yes, use a converter and you can view it in Google reader which has worked pretty well for me
How do you open it in Google Books. I cant seem to find where it stores e books.
depends if they are text based or image based pdf's. Also if they are technical books (i.e. containing diagrams etc) then it can be problematic.
Most readers try and do a re-flow and don't display high-image content well. Some readers also allow image/reflow choice which solves that problem.
If its just text based books then the world is your oyster and choices are massive. If not then there are less.
Try setting
try the reflow (in foxit reader) or similiar function in the pdf reader. u can read well

If I can recall a .pub file is embedded with something that makes it unique to a specific reader. Such as nook or kindle readers.
I know that in order for me to get a book into a reader I usually have to find the default folder and just copy the book over. Try to find a folder that says something gbooks or Google books, open it and see if it has some of your downloaded books in it. If it does just paste your books here, trial and error works for finding which file types are recognized.
Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app
thanks for the info!
How do I add epub books to MyLibrary?
It looks like the default Alice in Wonderland book is just sitting in the /sdcard directory. It doesn't see my /sdcard/eBooks folder. Do I have to to dump all my epub files in the root of the /sdcard directory? Hope not, that'd be a mess.
Once you connect the tablet to your PC, add the files (i uploaded in the download/ebooks folder) then you should be able to see them in the uncategorized bookshelf. It auto scans for new compatible books. I just uploaded 50+ books and it detected all of them.
I've tested epubs with no DRM in the /sdcard/ebooks folder, and they show up with no issues. Not sure about anything laced with DRM, though - I suspect that they would not work.

Hmm... none are DRM.
I tried using a Rescan Media tool, no luck. Rebooted tablet, still no luck. Wonder why it doesn't like me.
Doh. Figured it out. I have a .nomedia file in my eBooks folder, think Aldiko put it in there. Deleted it and now MyLibrary sees my eBooks.
Thanks!

Seems dumb to have 2 separate "book" apps that can't see each other.

Epub or pdf. Easiest thing for you to do is just download a free program called 'Calibre' and just convert any files you have to epub.
Hi....
I am not sure this is the right forum for this but I would like to know if anyone solved or can tell me how to put my epub books so they show in HTC's Reader.
I live in China and have a little bit of problem to get paperback books I want to read. I got lots of epub books but the reader only shows some of them and not even the same ones that been showing before.
Is there any directory in the phone I should put them? Tried to put some in the directory system/etc because I found the original books there but still not luck.
Would really like to know how to do it. I know epub works so can't be that most be some other thing that I need to do.
Anyway all suggestions and help would be appreciated.

Put your epub files on your SD card in a directory called "Digital Editions". They will then show up in the HTC Reader application

Mine are in a folder called "eBooks" and the reader app imported them no problem.
Unsure as to if it does a scan of the SD card or if the files need to be in a specifically named folder (either "digital editions" or "eBooks" or perhaps others also)
I have this problem. Let Someone please help
Windows Mobile also makes it possible.

After a bit of digging around. He's right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats search the page for dnl.
Dunno what would read them tho.
Maybe http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub could help you before using Aldiko or Moon reader etc.
You're not right. You're not even wrong!
.exe ebook files? don't pirate stuff. if you intend or doing so, do it smarter!
I'm trying to help you here. When you download a movie that is in exe form (in otherwords not what it is supposed to be), chances are it is malicious.
Assuming once you get the basics about ebook and reading, I would recommend Aldiko Book Reader. Its by far the best I've use so far.
