Samsung book reader?

Should my Tab have a preloaded book reader? Ive seen some reviews and they go on about the reader hub? My tmo tab has no reader. thx

Aldiko, FBReader, Moon+ Reader, Kindle, Kobo, Laputa, eBooks (Samsung app), Nook, iReader...there's quite a few out there

That doesn't really answer his question. No, your tab SHOULDN'T have a reader app. Or rather, it SHOULD - but T-Mobile chose to remove the reader apps. If you search around on the forums you can find APKs for the missing components, but I haven't found them to be completely bug-free. Laputa is a nice eReader. At least, it's my favorite.

My korean version has not only leaders hub, but also T store book and T store comic preinstalled and it was awesome..... Both ment to be korean online bookstore's kindle app but also works as a great reader. not support many features like moon+ reader but works stable. UI was best I ever seen

You were looking at reviews of the non-us version, In the US they strip all the good apps, and load our devices with bloatware.

So where could we find an installable version of the Samsung eBook ereader?

It wont work unless you flash the euro software onto it. Already tried and was really disappointed. They advertise the reader on US TV and they don't even include it!

[Q] eBook Reader

Is there an eBook Reader that would allow me to get these monthly free books from The University of Chicago? I've tried Kindle and the builtin reader on my TF with no luck. TIA - sheureka

[Q] Need help with file locations for books

I have discovered that the B & N Nook app is a better reader app than the Google books app and would like to sideload or import those books purchased on the market into the Nook app but I can't find the books on my SD card. Any ideas?

Format for e-books?

Does anyone know what file format(s) the kindle app and google books app uses?

The kindle uses mobi files, not sure about google.

Most likely would use something like epub or pdf for Google I can't see Google locking down the ability to import book files.
But if it comes down to it Aldiko Book Reader has been a pretty good reader for me and offers option to import epub and pdf files and has access to free bookstores where you can get classic books like Alice in Wonderland and the likes.
Do a search on the market for "Aldiko Book Reader" as I can't post a link to it

Most pdf files i think

So I dropped some PDF and epub files on my internal storage but I can't get them to show up in google books. I am assuming I need to put them in a specific folder but I can't seem to find that folder. Anyone know what/where it is? Or what exactly I need to do to get them to show up in G-Books ?

The Kindle uses .mobi files. I use mobipocket reader on my desktop pc to read mobi files. I believe it's the Nook that the .epub format.

Kindle uses .mobi

I think Google uses epub drm'd.

Everyone has stated above already. I just want to let u know that you can get free ebook app.

You can use the free Calibre program, to manage and convert ebooks from one format to another.

Unless the books are drm free, Google, nor any other reader besides the one it's locked down to, will not be able to view them.

[Q] ebooks, epub,mobi

I downloaded some ebooks, and in the folder it has epub, mobie, pdf Im curious can i just transfer the epub file to my Note 10.1 and it can read it?

They're DRM-locked so you may have to import them via the application rather than copying them to another folder. Aldiko can open epub books--just set up with yoyr Adobe ID and then import them..

Epubs are Adobe DRM products. You need to signup for a free Adobe ID to use epubs. You can get a free Adobe ID at the Adobe website. Aldiko and other software that can load epub formatted books, such as Overdrive, have a place in their settings menu where you input your Adobe ID. On the Aldiko homescreen you'll see three dots in the upper right hand corner, pressing them takes you to settings, where you can input your Adobe ID.

Got it thanks.....

I just drop any .epub into a folder on my external card and use Cool Reader, I browse to the folder on my external card, select it and it picks them up, for .mobi they are Kindle book, you install Kindle app free, browse to the kindle app on internal card and drop the books into the Kindle folder, I use EZPDF for my .pdf files, same again I drop them into the Library folder and the program picks them up. Hope this helps, Jim.

If you want to have only one reader app on your device you can convert your e-books in a program called Calibre.
