Can someone post the ebook app?

Looking for the apk. I'm hoping it'll install on a Galaxy S phone as well as the email app did. Looking at a video, the ebook app that Samsung put together is rock solid on the reading front, and you can import books too? Pretty much every other ebook app I've seen fails at one or the other.

Its on the market, called ebooks by kobo. Also, its not exactly spectacular.

hi,

No I don't think he means the Kobo one.Kobo is the reader included in the reader hub, which should be different to the other one ebooks app that actually looks like the iPad version and that is great.Let me check if I can find in the filesystem and I'll post it

The one in the post mentioned by Twisted is one I made and is the Music Hub and Reader hub plus Kobo for the roms like JI6 that are without the Hubs..the one I post for you is the ebook app you wanted

I was anxiously waiting that too, but was sorely disappointed. Ok, it looks cool and the page transition effects are nice.. but BOY is it slow!! It takes ABOUT 3-4 times longer to load the same book in the "eBook" app than it does in Aldiko. The eBook app also hangs and FCs once in awhile, which Aldiko has never done to me.
I heartily recommend you'd try Aldiko rather than get pissed off at that eBook app. Aldiko handles importing really well (except the stupid notifications, but what ever) and is a treat to use. No fancy effects, just sliding pages, but when I'm reading I'd rather read than watch lagging page-transition effects. That may just be me, though.

So you are saying that wait 5 sec is too much? I never had a FC with ebook app but I had with Aldiko jumping between chapters (depending on how the chapters structure was made).

No. I am saying that waiting for 40-60 sec to open a book is frustrating when you want to read. Aldiko opens the same book in roughly 10-15 secs. Also the Tab's eBook app seems to someone lag entirely too much when drawing the transition animations.

Hmm.that might be it.. I'm opening a book with about 700 pages with smaller font size...
Anyways, I like to use Aldiko more because that's faster and the animations lag on the eBook app.

Well, so far no go. Won't install, either with a package manager, or dumping the apk/odex into /system/app. Anyone know how I might try and deodex this? My current rom is deodexed. Maybe that will help?
Also, I use aldiko right now, but I'm a sucker for the fancy effects, at least if done right. The nook app did them excellently, but cannot import well to save it's life.

Hi All,
I just bought Galaxy tab and I am loving tab eBook app, not just because of animations but because of few important features like dictionary which is not available in Readers Hub Kobo.
One quick question- How can I purchase and import books in Tab ebook App. There is no download/buy button.
I have downloaded few books in kobo but I would like to open them in Tab's eBook app. Please help how can I do that.

Hi guys i see some of you like samsung ebook reader, i love it to and im looking for solution to install this apk on SGS II.
Here is the ebook.apk
enjoy

I love also the first one.
On Ics does not work, i tried so many times.

You can not only read, can also left the world behind.

Ereader app from stock Tab

Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.

Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.

I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.

I found that the instructions in the last post here work.

Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Anyone been able to get the Ebook app to run on a US tab?

Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

Yep, full epub support, you have to put your books in /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments amd you may have to open "my files" a pair of time for the books to appear.

[Q] Google Books Storage Location

Does anyone know the location of an eBook once you tell it to make it available offline?
Or
I've got some eBooks that I would like to make available to the Books app on the XOOM, where do I put them?

You beat me to it, I was just wondering the same. I have several thousand books I would like to be able to drop in.

It appears to be a proprietary book format, but I don't know enough about it for sure.
Each book is split up into many different files. I've transfered it to my computer to investigate it further, but I've had no luck.
I went looking when I first got the Xoom because I wanted to put my book collection in there.
Someone smarter than me will have to figure out how to do that!

The only alternative I've found so far is using Aldiko (ebook reader from the Market). You store the eBooks on the XOOM and import them into the app. I would prefer to use Google Books however.

That's incredibly frustrating. Even iBooks allows you to add your own epub. If Google Book a can't that's a huge setback for me. I read a couple hours a day on my tablet.

The nook app has a very similar page turn animation and I think the app in general looks better on honeycomb than both kindle and google books. Maybe give that one a try!

Nook is only available to US users (and maybe certain other countries, but I'm not sure). People outside of US can't download nook. You have to find a way to sideload it to your Xoom if you are not in the US.
And Nook has problems displaying book covers from my own epubs. So I'm sticking to Kindle but converting to mobi format may be a hassle to some.

How did you manage to successfully import your mobi files to Kindle?
I have tried copying the files to the SD card location which makes them appear in the app but the app crashes when I try to open them. I have also tried opening them with the Kindle app from my file manager. Again, this was unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help in advance!

iReader?

have u guys tried iReader?
awesomely free!

I know its been awhile since this was last commented honest and maybe Google has updated Play Books since the last comments, regardless im pretty sure that it now doesnt matter where you get your digital content. Play Books will permit you to upload them and read across multiple devices. I have a fairly decent collection and i go back and forth between my Note III & Note VIII. If the book that you want to read isnt on the particular device that your using, Play Books downloads it. I have been unsuccessful in finding the default directory for the appand it was that very question that brought me to this post. :good:

Soonr Scribble is out

Don't know about you guys and gals, but seeing the demonstration of Soonr Scribble on the Note kind of sealed my decision to get the phone. Well, it finally came out recently, and is available on the market for free: https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zb29ucnNjcmliYmxlIl0.
This is the video I saw long before the phone came out:
And here's a newer video:

Yes its available free for now and is working well.
It's a promising app for business users!!

I'm finding it very laggy, which is quite disappointing

This is the most important productivity apps for galaxy note! But I don't understand why all of document in whatever format always be transformed into pdf files after being scribbled?
This is makes soonr scribble almost useless. Because when we are editing docx files, we want the scribbled thing being transformed into image just inside the docx file, and not the whole file being transformed into pdf file!
I want to compare it with polaris office for htc flyer and htc jetstream. When I am scribbling in the docx files with that apps, all of my scribbled automatically transformed into image within docx files.
I hope soonr understand these problems and give the same format as the source file for the scribbled file.
Thank you very much.

PPT files is powerpoint file~ i think wat he means is using Polaris Office to import ppt file. It is fine for documents,excel and powerpoint file. But Problem in PDF.

Having the exact same problem with mine, Canadian wifi model, 32Gb. seems with any PDF file, at least any that I've tried. It will bring up the loading bar saying importing page 1/X... and then it pauses for a long time at the last page then just crashes right to the home screen with no error.
Fairly annoying as this was the feature I was most wanting to use with this device. If anyone can share a fix it would be much appreciated.

If this pdf would work... it would be GOLDEN. I hate using ezPDF just cause of the UI... its embarrassing. Gives Android a bad name...

I think this pdf problem is effecting all Canadian versions. I've tried 2 different ones and they both have the problem. Contacted Samsung Canada about it but they said they weren't aware of any problems. And to the above ezPDF is pretty good, not sure why you think the UI is bad. As for the eraser problem I just change the color to white, works pretty much like an eraser.

If you use the airbrush icon, it gives you pen, air brush, and eraser. To access these, you have to click back and forth and it is quite tedious. They could have laid the pen/eraser and thickness control in the quick access menus. Using the s-pen button to toggle highlight would also be a nice addition.And general UI, the awkward orange and patterned background doesn't look too good. The buttons on the main file explorer page on the top right is all bunched up because the app was made for mobile devices not tablet optimized.
Having said that, the functionality is simply amazing. It does literally everything you need it to do. Just wish the UI was a little more "Holo".

Hey, me too.. i have a Portuguese Version and failed to import the PDF..

I was facing the same issue right after I bought mine and mine was in Singapore.
I sent my queries to Samsung staff and they clarified that yes it is not working at that moment.
However after the 76mb recent update, it solved everything, able to import pdfs and also scroll bars in snote.
If you have not received the update, the only solution is to update to jellybean which is working when importing pdfs.

He is going to investigate further tomorrow and call me back so lets see what happens.
