Please anyone tell me are there any free ebooks for LEO available from borders
please rectify the post's title better, with a [REQ] at the beginning maybe
Anyway, google will help you a lot if you're looking for free ebooks (count of montecristo, three mosqueteers, and every "classic" is free).
The same google will help you finding freeware tools to convert among formats to make those ebooks compatible with the reader tab... there's nothing special "just for the hd2", really, the process is the same for every "open" device which is capable of ebook reading. Maybe closed devices like kindle need their own format, luckily not ours.

I'ìd like to help you, but I yet have to install the version 6 of ax*lor rom which has a reader tab. Anyway there's a thread in the themes&apps forum for hd2 regarding an apps that indexes your ebook for the tab, you may first off install that app, and see the file-extension needed to index ebooks. Look info for that file-extension on google and you know the format those ebooks must be in... probably plain txt is supported, I don't see why it shouldn't.
The books are in .epub format. There is one very good thread about it on here, and an re-indexing app.
here you have some
http://blogoio.com/stanza/list/Authors.xml
over 300,000 free titles, and they have the .epub format available for download

Ebooks are amazing. I think one of the most powerful weapons in the internet marketers' arsenal is the ebook. Your ebook format is in the right format to download.
I was really disappointed with all Android PDF readers & unwilling to sell my iPod touch just for apps like GoodReader! A couple of weeks ago I found this great app called "ezPDF Reader" by accident in market & gave it a try & it's just impressive!
Unlike Repligo, QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo &.... it renders everything really fast, renders huge PDF files without any problems & here's the list of some of it's features:
It's super fast & reliable, not a single FC on documents larger tha 40 MBs!
Renders pages & pictures in a blink! It really shames Adobe Reader & similar apps...
Supports auto zooming feature for all columns & pictures.
Supports Night Mode & text reflow the way it should!
Shows thumbnails of all pages while reading in a very pleasant way!
Gets updated at least once a week! (Have had it for about 2 months)
Developers will actually implement your request, just tweet them or email them & in next version it's there!
You can add bookmarks to your documents.
Fully supports password-protected files.
Supports Wake-Lock.
Supports multi-touch up to 3 fingers.
Plays the multimedia content in PDFs.
Comes with free PDF printer for PC!
Supports Copy/Paste!
Supports pinch to zoom, horizontal lock, remembers your zoom level & position when you navigate.
Great animations!
It's just 0.99$!!!!!
& much more...
I really think developers deserve being supported, it's 5-star-rated in Market but it's been stuck in 1000-5000 downloads range for a very long time! Just give it a try, you'll love it! I just don't want developers abandon it coz there's nothing like it in Android Market! I don't know why it hasn't got enough attention though!
Appbrain Link
If you have already tried it, you can post your idea about it here!
They just released another update today which improves the rendering speed much more! I just hope they release a trial version or something to get more attention! Nobody has used the app here?
I have this on a Nook Color and I can't seem to get the menu to redisplay once the overlay controls minimize. How do you do it?
It really is the BEST PDF reader on Android!

C'mon why can you advertise an app, while we developers aren't allowed to advertise our apps here on xda-dev.
I think (it may be) that some developers use very sneaky ways to advertise their products here on xda.
I think this thread should be closed!
It is the best one among those pdf reader I have used.
If you search the threads started by me, you realize I was desperately looking for a PDF reader with ezPDF features couple of months ago!
Android Market PDF readers are nothing good compared to this & they all carry price tags like 10$!!!
There's no benefit behind this topic for me, just want to make the project popular so it continues the way it is going now! It's been always updated at least twice a week... If you haven't tried it yet, use the 24 hours refund policy to check it, however I don't think you will ever ask for refund!

I'm on Galaxy S which Menu button triggers it but I'm sure you can tap the center of screen to get the overlay controls!
Does this annotate pdf? I'm trying to figure out why apple has 10,001 apps that markup pdf and Droid has none (that I found)

I just stumbled upon this app today. I was looking for a reasonably priced reader that had bookmarks so I can resume reading of large docs. This fits it to a "T". All the others I looked at were in the $7-10 price range. The UI is taking some getting used to, I would like to see a help or manual as there are almost too many options.

I still consider it as spam. Simple as that. You don't give a review. You just sum up the things it can do, you give a price and that's it.
And now you are talking about a 24 hours refund policy? Man... this is just spam.
I don't know what to tell you buddy! Whatever you wish to call it, I listed the features I think no other Droid PDF reader has, I can't figure out your problem!! Developers are Korean, I am by the way Iranian/Persian so ...!
It doesn't need a detailed review since there's no competition in PDF readers field on Android Market...! I think it is 5/5 rated!
As for manual, I found it a bit confusing too! Actually developers have an odd way of describing the features & how-to-dos! Read their tweets from following URL, somehow it works as their manual!!!
twitter.com/ezpdf
I have this app also, it really is the best. I was ready to buy BeamReader then I found ezPdf

Don't you get it? We are also developers but we respect the forum rules and try not to sell our apps here in such a explicit way.
But just go on with your pushy, disrespectful monologue.

Hmmmmm.....How so?
ADW was developed & advertised hereon XDA. Dialer one was advertised here on XDA. Mort player was both advertised during it's Winmo days & now in Android too.
If a mod closed your thread, talk to another mod about it.
Spamming your app however is different.
Oh btw, he isn't pushy. You are pushy with you personal vendetta. If you have a problem with this thread, report it man. Easy as that.

This is not a personal vendetta. I encourage all developers to promote their apps. I have no problem with that. The problem is that I think it's rather inappropriate to promote apps in a forum where developers are discouraged to promote their own paid apps. Isn't really motivating. Don't you see that?
And I didn't have had any problems with any moderator. So no, that isn't my motive also.
And of course I have contacted xda developers, but with a constructive request if it is possible to look for a way how developers can promote their own apps without undermining the philosophy of xda developers.
Btw ADW, dialer one and mort are free programs/apps as far as I know.
appelflap,
Before you complain about commercialization and self-promotion why not remove the "Donate To Me" link that shows up on all of your posts?
I do not see a violation of the forum rules here.
Thanks to the OP for pointing out a viable alternative PDF viewer.

Try adobe PDF reader, they have already a search option, or try moon reader pro, and download their plugin - PDF Plugins.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I'm looking for an app that allows me to view wikis in my phone offline, from my SDcard. I want to download the dump file of the wikis,not only wikipedia, but any other wiki, related to games, movies, etc., copy to sd card and use them with a reader.
I found 2 apps that can do that. The first one is fastwiki, which is very good, but it doesn't have images on wiki pages and they are a little messy with the quotes and images, they don't show it properly and the page doesn't have a clean aspect.
The other one is Leo's wikipedia reader, but i couldn't manage to create the wiki file.
Both of them comes with a xml converter to create the wiki file that the app will read. This allows me to view any wiki, not just wikipedia.
Please, if you know a wiki reader like those that's better, post here. Or if you know how to convert leo's file post them here.

Can you please repost your question into the App Review, Recommendation & Discussion Thread.
Thanks!
Hi, in windows with foxit reader you have the feature to screenshot a portion of the PDF you are looking
at and then paste it into a word document. So far after exhaustive google and app searches I cant find an
android app that does the equivalent apart from separate screen shotting apps which waste a lot more time.
Does anyone know an android PDF reader or editor that will let you screenshot in this simple way
thanks
