[APP Request] - PDF reader - magazine style - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Hi all,
Looking for a good PDF reader for Honeycomb tablets that shows the PDF files in a magazine style. Like Zinio does, just with external PDF files.
Anything like that exists?
Thanks

Seems to be the theme of my last few posts but try-
repligo pdf reader.

That's what I've been looking for... Zinio allows it only for the special version PDFs you download from their shop...

I managed with kindle and android 3. Actually, with android ICS, kindle does not open pdf files, don't know why. I use an asus transformer tf101.

Have you tried Perfect Viewer with pdf plugin?

Actually works, but is quite slow compared to kindle, as far as I remember.
The strange thing about Kindle is that it does not appear in the list of applications available for opening pdf files. I also tried Default App Manager Lite, but it seems not working.

Im using RepliGo its not free but you can do notes, bookmarks, highlights.
Give it a try.

Yes, I've purchased it. It's great, but there is no support for dual-page view.

The best I've seen is using eBookDroid. It works best if you have a means of hiding the action bar, as otherwise, pages don't fit as well on the screen landscape mode, otherwise similar to the black bars on TVs showing animorphic widescreen movies).

ezpdf is the best I've tried

Mobo player on the infinity is kicka$$

If you guys haven't checked out mobo player you should. They just added that window effect that the GS3 has. Its amazing on our tablet. Here is a screenshot of me playing final fantasy 3 while watching the first episode of The Big Bang Theory which I ripped from my bluray streaming from my pc via file manager hd. It really shows the true speed and power of this tablet.

I'd love to like this player, but it has trouble playing back any .mkv and .avi files I've tried on it. One video played back right, Vertigo, but that movie is over 50 years old and isn't going to showcase the amazing power of this tablet lol.
Yea, i agree its not the best video player out there and i like BS player a whole lot better but the window thingy is pretty cool. Hopefully with time the player end of the app will get better.

Exactly..
By the way... what uses can the small screen have for ya. I would have a hard time paying attention while doing other tuff..
Lastly, anyone download sites to pick up good movies to add to the table?
Even better yet, just use whatever video player you want and then use "Stick It!" - a windowed video player! It allows you to resize and move the window and it would work with ANY other app! The guy that writes it also has 3 or 4 other windowed apps for Android - check them out on the Play store - they are really cool...

I use "Stick It" as well!!!
Why pay 1.79 for "stick it" when you can have "Super Video, Floating, and Pop-Up" update for FREE. It does the same exact thing. Plus it had an Update 7 days ago. STICK IT hasn't had one since May.

A few reasons:
1. I purchased it way before "Super Video" was available.
2. It's a *much* better app - it simply works better!
Have you actually tried Stick-it? Just because an app is updated more recently does not make it better!

Are you saying I can use bsplayer and then use stick it to float bsplayer's window or is it just a stand alone player? At work atm so I can't try it out for myself

Stick-it is a stand-alone app (a windowed video player). The author of it makes 3 or 4 other windows apps as well (a browser, video player, calculator and a terminal emulator).

Anyone know of an app that would allow you to do this with non-videos? For example, having a browser window open and another app windowed? That would be great for comparing data.

you can do the opposite with OverSkreen. Its a floating browser. Same goes for LilyPad, a floating IM client (only gtalk, facebook and msn at the moment).

Nothing that general, but there are a growing list of floating apps available on the market such as:
Hovernote, a floating notepad that supports copy and pasting

Floating Widget, a set of widgets that are easily draggable

10.1 as a reader?

Hello all,
I get all my magazines (and most of my books, technical at least) digitally.
How well does Zinio, Kindle, and Moon readers work on the 10.1? Does it screen geometry work well with pages and pdfs?
Thanks,
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Moon reader works very well not sure about the others
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
That would be a very subjective opinion. IMO the GNote10 works extremely well as a reader but I don't tend to try and read specialized formats. When you find out be sure to let us know.
Kindle works great.
Actually my Note 10.1 IS my reader for newspaps, mags, currents, kindle. For kindle I setted it to black background to get 14hrs of reading. Had to get used to it but now I like white letters on black
I use Repligo reader for my PDF's, ezPDF too. I like to use Coolreader for my epub, txt documents and use Polaris to read word docs... I know its a few apps but different apps give different options... I know Moon+ also gives you the option to read out the books too, got that there too as well as Ireader... Haven't really tried other formats but I love the (almost) A4 size screen... Better than my 7" galaxy tab...
I have also looked for a good Magazine reader and finnaly found it. Manatano reader premium .. so nice! If it is a PDF it has a feature where it makes it to a ebook look when reading
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Aldiko Book Reader Premium for eBooks mainly. I started using it with a rooted Nook Color and liked the interface more than others. I have Kindle and Nook installed as well, but they are not used much. For pdfs, I use exPDF reader; works well.
Thanks for the great advice all!
Anyone else use Zinio for magazines?

I use Zinio and it works great. I download the magazine(s) I'm interested in and read them offline - I read somewhere that some other apps don't allow you offline reading
Cheers

Nook works great.
I cannot go past reading page one of any book so not the question for me but there should not be a problem in reading books only thing you need is a good app but yes it may not give you the kindle book reader experience or the battery life but at the same time should not be an issue as long as you can do with the weight i would rather get a 100$ tablet to read ebook then using a note if that all I am gonna do
But thats not all I do, I play music, watch movies and do some work.. Gotta mix it up a bit. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy...:laugh:

Best app for large pdfs?

I have a text book that's like 170mb and when using Aldiko it looks good but lags really bad when trying to turn pages etc.
Any suggestions?

Try to save it as a reduced size file in acrobat to make it smaller. I use ezpdf and acrobat reader on my S3 but I never view files that big.

I grabbed Moon+ Reader from the market for .epub files on my Nexus 7, but found it opens PDF's and does an awesome job with everything I've thrown at it.

Moon reader will do inverted and scaling.

Try RepliGo. Not free but I've used it to open a 220MB pdf file.
File was Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine which has tons of pictures, diagrams and charts and it handled it very well.

Recent versions (v0.3+) have an integrated Download Manager that even supports multiple concurrent connections, pause/resume etc. So it should work well for big files now.

Yes, 2.x cannot be supported as it lacks some required APIs. However Android 4 is almost two years old now and I guess most people have upgraded by now.

A good reading app for Nexus 7

Any help here? Since, Nexus 7 has a 7 inch screen, usual page view is out of the question, it is to small. If I use text reflow option, the text is fine but it isn't aligned like it is in normal page view, and the pictures are way off. I tried
- Default reader
- Adobe Reader
- Kindle
- Aldiko
- Moon Reader
All of them are the same. Book reading on Nexus 7 isn't as good as it is said in commercials, for now at least.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I think that is only your opinion as I use Moon reader+ and couldn't be happier.
You have the choice to change the margins width and font size.
Also bear in mind you should look for an appropriate eBook format like .epub as opposed to .PDF if you want to have the best experience.
Enviado desde mi Nexus 7 usando Tapatalk 2
MoonReader + is perfect for me as well. What don't you like about it? what formats are you trying to read?
If PDF try perfect viewer with the pdf plugin.
How about Fabrik?
This is the best reader that I have proved, it is from sony, so the UI is perfect
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ablet.reader.other.usca&feature=order_history
IF THIS WAS HELPFUL HIT "THANKS"
Nope, sorry. Although I am very grateful for all the help, they don't do it. All my books are in .pdf, but I tried finding .epub but failed. Sony one is incompatible with Nexus 7, Fabrik seemed really nice but it is trial so I don't think I'll be using it much longer. I will keep it though.
Thank you all!

You will never find a perfect reader for pdf documents, simply because of the pdf format which is not adapted for tablet or e-readers (pdfs are not ebooks).
You may want to try converting your pdf into an ebook format (such as epub) with the free and open source Calibre app for pc, Mac or linux
