Has anybody used Aldiko Pro? I want to buy one, but I want to know if it works with transformer. I have read Aldiko is not compatible with HC
It sort of work if you don't try to change orientation. If you go from landscape to portrait or vice versa...it FC.
Try Moon+ Reader, Agree that Aldiko FC books on change orentation. Moon+ works well for me with as yet no FC + more features than Aldiko.

So it does NOT FC if you open a book and then rotate the screen?
I have the free version and it FC every time you rotate the screen. I'd drop a couple bucks on the pro version if it doesn't do this.
Does moon reader hide the navigation buttons like kindle app does?
I hate seeing the home and back and menu button while reading especially in the dark.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I had the force close problem as well, but you can go into settings and lock it into portrait mode. I can't imagine reading in landscape mode, anyway. Problems only arise when I launch Aldiko with the dock attached (dock forced landscape + Aldiko forced portrait = Android force close), but when I'm reading, I'm holding it portrait without the dock.

No but its hardly noticeable I read with 1% brightness in night mode and never see the buttons lit up.
Also I had FC with Aldiko Pro on rotate.
If I import the books on my microSD card, can I then delete the original files? It seems to make a copy of everything, but I'm not sure.
Why would anybody pay for a bookreader in the first place with all the great free options? Not trolling, just curious what the reasons are

Because we like to support people who make products we love?
you guys should check out coolreader, its only 1 dollar and has many options and support lots of formats. i compared aldiko, fbreader and a few others but i think coolreader is better. i just discovered the free reader that comes with the transformer is pretty good too. i really like the dual page display.
Latest Aldiko update removes the crash-on-rotate bug. This was the only item that kept me from giving them a few small coins for their product. Now running Aldiko Premium and enjoying it
Long time user of Aldiko and love it on my TF.
No force close issues but I prefer portrait mode so have it locked into that orientation. No FC issues.
Lag in Aldiko?
How is the lag under Honeycomb? I love Aldiko for all its features, but on my HTC Hero and Desire HD it has ridiculous amounts of lag when updating the book cover thumbnails when you are in any of the views.
On those devices, you scroll down just a few books and you see a default Aldiko cover which after a second or so updates to show the actual cover. If you scroll down more, again the same lag. But what is really annoying is that if you scroll up again to the books you just viewed, which had already shown the cover, they have reset to show the default Aldiko, so you have to wait again for it to update. Just looks so tacky, when the rest of the software is so polished.
I really don't understand why they can't update the thumbnails more smoothly.
Is it the same behaviour on the Transformer or other Honeycomb devices?
That is the only thing really stopping be from gettin Honeycomb over the HTC Flyer, because the Flyers Reader UI like on all their latest phones is simply beautiful, I think it uses OpenGL so it so fluid.
Thanks for any advice!
I'm looking for a ebook reader as well, and I was primarily looking at kindle and nook. I like both for a few reasons ...
nook seems to have a much better selection of magazines ... car and driver for example, is 99c per month with nook, but unavailable on kindle.
I like kindle because its ebooks are often cheaper (kindle version of the same book is quite often 50% cheaper than nook) and it also syncs between different devices. I read from my Desire and my Transformer so this feature is a must.
What other ebook readers do you guys recommend?
I looked into moon+ reader but it looks iffy when it requires access to a lot of personal info ... why does an ebook reader need to know about state of my phone for example???
FBReader also looks good.

I'm kind of tired of trying app after app to just be unhappy with all of them. I'm hoping you guys can recommend me a good epub reader.
I want something with a straight-forward interface. I don't need shelves and stores and all that. I need something that'll let me browse my books via a file explorer (and lets me set the default directory for browsing), and display them neatly, and render them fast with little battery usage.
I've tried Aldiko. I know it's popular, but it runs like crap TBH. Scrolling through my shelf is slow and annoying. And I'd rather just browse my own folder layout than a fancy shelf. I tried a few other random ones I found on Google, but they were mostly slow or didn't do what I needed.
FBreader perhaps, from my default folder it's just two clicks away.
Sent from my Defy using Tapatalk

I'd suggest either aldiko or moon reader. Both are beautiful, highly functional apps, though moon seems a little more customizeable currently.

+1 for moon reader. Used Aldiko before that and found it buggy. Used fbreader after moon reader but returned because of some features. No FCs on moon reader for me.
mood reader ftw
FBReader has really worked well for my needs...
Tried most of the more popular reader apps on the market, found FBReader to be the best for my purposes. It's highly customizable with minimalistic design. Other readers have far too many useless features with not enough customizability, like 10 different page turn animations but no way to change line spacing (moonreader iirc).
So we should be seeing Honeycomb 3.1 for our transformers in the near future.
Google only showed a new task switcher and adjustable widgets as two new features. Shouldn't this be called Honeycomb 3.0.1? I'm not terribly impressed... I hope they fix some major force close issues and general bugs in the next release....
As for task/memory management, I wish they added a feature that allows us to exclude apps from ever being closed. Going back to a browser and having it reload 5 tabs EVERYTIME consumes a fair amount of bandwidth and time.

We are already at 3.0.1, but I agree with you doesn't seem like too much though I do like the new features.
I don't know what the heck google is thinking, but they need to focus on building a STABLE Android OS and really dumping resources into getting apps up to par with apple.
Instead they focus on remote light switches and facial recognition gimmicks... if quality apps don't start coming soon, it won't matter what flavor of desert they put out as it will be weak.

I'm sure they don't... I'm not sure who's giving them ideas like this, but when I upgrade my browser on my PC, it's not a Windows 7.1 update... with google, something as trivial as resizing widgets (which has been possible via 3rd party apps for a while) seems to qualify as a substantial upgrade.
Oh well, whatever keeps people excited.

Stop and think for a moment. They are releasing a new build of an OS. I'm sure that the resizing of Widgets is not the only thing they are doing. I would be willing to bet there will be plenty of fixes in the update.

Some notable updates
- An updated home button, while still appearing the same, will now take the user to the most recently used home screen panel when pressed in an app instead of always taking the user to the center panel. (my pet peeve so far).
- PTP will allow users to connect a digital camera directly to a tablet so that the tablet can import all of the camera's photos.
- Web pages can now be saved for offline viewing, and the browser also offers faster zooming and support for hardware accelerated plug-ins.
A simple feature request. Allow us to choose which folders we wish to display in the Gallery. I'm unable to use it as all the album art from my music as well as bitmaps from apps really clog it up.

I think it's fairly good. USB host thing is cool, and resizable Widgets and a better browser good too. Also "UI transitions are improved throughout the system and across the standard apps. The Launcher animation is optimized for faster, smoother transition to and from the Apps list." So should overall feel smoother and no ui lag.
Honeycomb's pretty solid as it is and with these changes even better. Not sure why people are so disappointed really, what did you expect to be added?

I really hope they fixed the market app. That is my biggest pet peeve. You scroll down for 30 seconds, click on an app to check it out, click "back", and now you are back at the top, have to scroll way down again. When trying to find apps to install it is a huge pain.

I'm pretty sure 3.1 will support hardware acceleration, that to me is a HUGE improvement. Flash rendering should be a whole lot better. I already think Honeycomb is a very solid OS and the new features are exciting. As long as they keep rolling out updates I'll be happy.
I must admit what was announced at IO was underwhelming, but who cares? Are you used to Apple esque keynotes that praise "new" features that have been available on other OS's for years?
What is your absolute favorite application/game? The one you just cannot live without. I am excepting to see a lot of mainstream apps being called out, so to go along with that question, what is your favorite non mainstream app/game?

Evernote: Totally useful - not a timewaster - your information available transparently on every device you own, simply awesome.
It used to be Pulse, until I found News360.
Honestly though, the browser gets 99% of the usage on my tablet. I use the default browser cause I;m a chrome user on PC and having synced bookmarks is a necessity. Opera Mobile would be great if I could add more than 9 speed dial buttons
If I may ask my own question about "Your absolute favorite app"
What is your favorite sports app?
I'm trying to find a good one for tablet. All the amazing sports apps, Score Mobile, Fox etc suck for the tablet... they wont even go into landscape mode!
For those who use Pulse, try out Taptu, its very similar but somehow cleaner and faster in my opinion. (news 360 is awesome though.)
But my favorite app is... either Dropbox or Youtube
I love Pulse.
Can't help but think that if you could hide the window which slides out from the left when you click a story by sliding it back, instead of hitting the back button it would be so much better.
Going to d/l Taptu & check it out as well. Cheers for the suggestion

Hello, might be a strange question, as Kindle Fire is electronic ebook reader itself

But now I have strange problem. I DO NO KNOW a good ebook reader app on the market. I'm missing the reading experience which I got from original Kindle Fire rom/software.
I tried Mantano reader - UI is just horrible. The text is stoo small to read(UI), it works slow and so on..
I tried google books - same crap, cannot use dictionary, what about highliting??.
I tried Kindle App - which I think is the best for reading books, and I found out that it is not scaled properly.
Any solution for scaling problem?
Or maybe some suggestions of nice ebook apps or advices how and what you guys use/do ?

*Kobo app is working pretty flawless and smooth ! Best app so far I've used ( I dunno about the NOOK one though..) big thanx to milanche
*Kindle App is smooth as well, but it just doesn't completely full screen on my Kindle Fire.
*Aldiko for me is annoyingly laggy app, especially when zooming, scrolling pages etc..
*Mantano Reader is nice a well BUT UI text is way too small and it just doesn't feel nice as an app ( just my opinion)
So can someone upload NOOK for android apk ?

I agree, but I use Aldiko only for free books, because I have 2 kindle devices so I need to use the stock kindle app to sync everything. But Aldiko does have small book covers and very basic page turn animation, but it still is pretty good
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
I don't know why but Aldiko when you turn pages of the ebook it delays for 1 sec or so. I particularly don't like that, and the book shelf has small thumbnails as mentioned. I'm playing with Kobo and NOOK apps now. I think NOOK is the best right now. Big thumbnails of books, quickly loads the books, nice animations on turning pages, and it's smooth when you turn pages. Easy highlight, notes selection tools. And you can adjust everything from font size to margins to font itself. So it's pretty cool app now for reading I think.
Kobo would be great as well, as I like the design of the app more. But it loads books slowly somehow. Even between chapter it takes some time to load book up. Selecting text and highliting is annoying though...
So I stick with NOOK now and probably Kindle app sometimes.
Aldiko would be great if they would fix small thumbnails of bookshelf, and if they would remove that scrolling the page delays...
Cool Reader is by far the best non stock kindle reading app. Because I was on stock for months before I switched to ICS, my entire library was MOBI format. SO I didn't have to convert them to another format. Cool Reader also has a ton of features, a lot more than the stock reader app or any of the other ones.

I bought the app some time before, there is NO settings in this app, palm recognition doesnt work so good, Spen not so sensitive as on other and original Spen apps....
but the app is very nice hopefully when crerator of the app is reading this and will react. I will come later on again to this app when there will be upgrade.
I tried alllll of the Spen apps, still the original Snote one is the best one - although i really like in Papyrus ability to choose paper format (A4, infinity, letter.....) very handy when you want to print out your sketch, but in papyrus miss adding pictures.

I know MEMO - also nice, hopefully it will improove....but from all apps i have tried, everyone gave me a FC in some case but Snote/Smemo - never FC!!! Thats the reason to stay on stock rom for someone who wants to use NOTEs Spen features. Papyrus looks to be kinda strong, this never FCd for me, but ability to add pictures is really needed! Imagine, i also sometimes make a notes, add picture and want to print out as A4 on normal printer -- all other apps can do print, export to PDF etc... but it is horrible scaled up, i know you can lower your font and pics, but it is for me more natural to work direct on format A4 and know how it will look like when i print out or export to PDF.
I moved this week from stock to other custom JB rom, just to change for some time, so will test again some Spen market apps. But when official JB will roll out, will definitelly go back to stock based roms.
But this HandyNote need some small tweaks, and looks to be good replacement...
