ok i have a ton of .mobi files on my computer something like over 2k of them, and i want to add them to my transformer to read thru the amazon kindle app.
however i have a problem, when i transfer them over to the transformer into the kindle folder when i open the amazon kindle app it doesnt show up at all!
is there another place im supposed to put them?
i really dont fancy using calibre and converting all these books to another format, i really like the amazon kindle app and want to use that if possible.
if not are there any other apps that can read .mobi files?
You can put all you .mobi file under /sdcard/kindle
hmm wierd that was the first thing i tried but for some reason they dont show up when i put them there

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.

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!

Hello, I am looking for an android app that when i connect to my home wifi it looks for a folder on my computer and syncs whatever is in it onto a folder in my SD card. Any good recommendations?
Its not 100% exactly what you described, but have you tried Dropbox? Syncs a folder on your computer with the service, and you can sync that with the dropbox app on your phone.

You're basically describing Dropbox. As long as you have a data connection you can access anything in the folder and view/download straight to your phone. I keep all my root stuff in Dropbox so I don't need to keep it on sd card. That way anything I need, I downoad, use, and delete. Plus, it allows me to search and download roms while at work and then when I get home they automatically update to my home computer for flashing.
Click the referral link in my sig and we both get an extra 500mb of space (I have an edu email address). You have to install the desktop application to get your referral credit though.
EDIT - REFERRAL LINK
Hey thank you for the replys so far. I do have drop box and I do love it! But I am looking for that one extra step at the end. What I don't like about drop box is I have to then manually download the files from it to my phone. Basically want once I connect to my home wifi it reaches out to my pc and syncs with a folder on it to a folder on my sd automatically. I don't mind if I have to setup a share or file server on my pc.

I have kinda found what i was looking for in Android Manager Wifi. here is a link:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/android-manager-wifi/com.mobileaction.AmAgent
It has many options, one being able to select a folder on ur computer and one on your SD card for them to sync up automatically. Testing out to see how REALLY automated the whole process is. But none the less this is a great app for many things it seems. People should definitely check it out!
Didn't Double Twist just implement that? Need the "pay" version ($.99), but it has something called Air Synch. Look into this and let me know if it is what you want.

Syncables is a broader sync solution than Double Twist

I've read similar critiques of Double Twist. I prefer Syncables through and through - and it think that's more of what you're looking for. Syncables will sync any type of folder, media file, spreadsheet, email, and even browser bookmark. It also syncs between Macs and PCs and smartphones like Droid and BlackBerries.
It has a wider suite of sync/backup/share products than the more niche Double Twist product...oh, and it has wireless sync capability using WiFi, as well.
I am actually writing an app that does exactly what you want. It's not done but the functionality is there to sync a folder (with no PC client needed). If you want to help me test it you can PM me with an email address to send you the APK.
Yea i will check it out. Sent you a PM
Just a random idea but is there an app that works with dropbox and automatically downloads changes to it to your SD card? Seems like that would also be sweet for alot of people.

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?

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!

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:

The e pad suite is install on the laptop/pc to let out sync with your tablet
I'm trying to get PC Suite to I have Windows Vista. I don't see it on Asus website. Splashtop was the free app a few days ago from Amazon but I was told I don't need that on my tablet cause it already comes with it. Do I need to download both EXE's at the top the Asus Sync and the splashtop both to my PC and i have Vista are those the correct EXE files? Thanks!
Go to splashtop website on your pc. http://www.splashtop.com/remote Download 'get streamer' and install on pc. Follow setup instructions.
Open apps on TF, find MyCloud and open My Desktop and hit search for devices. Should find your PC. Input you password, that you set up on your PC when following the instructions when installing the streamer.
Thats it.

I'll have to figure out how to maneuver around on the tablet to get to stuff on my desktop but thanks! As I type on pc I see it typing on tablet and when I went to my desktop on my pc it went to desktop on tablet. So actually I can go to my movies folder or my Tivo recorded shows folder from pc and see it on my tablet and leave it there till I get to work. Now can I access all this away from home? Thanks So Much!
Edit: OMG one more question? I just went to email someone on computer and of course my tablet went to my Incredimail does that mean I can download and read my mail on the tablet using splashtop? So I don't really need to configure my emails on the tablet? Can I click on get new mail from the tablet? Now I want a little bluetooth mouse will that work with this app? Oh and never mind I saw the arrow thing on my email and it let me touch to get new mail and it did work on the tablet. I can click on compose mail from tablet and I see where I can bring up a keyboard wow! Didn't think it would work before but now I see keyboard. I love what all this does. But I have one more last question I keep editing this so sorry. I was on tablet and went to the desktop and my computer and K which is my external drive and I have a Tivo recorded shows folder and it started playing the show but the volume wasn't good. It opened windows media on the tablet and I turned that volume up and then my tablets Volume was way up. Guess there's no way to make it louder? I keep volume muted on my PC but I am sure turning that way up won't help on tablet will it? Funny thing is I just got an email and heard it on the tablet the notification sound. LOL! But anyway thanks again love this app and the tablet is so awesome. Maybe it depends on the sound once it's recorded. But anyway I appreciate your help. I did get diconnected a couple times but it reconnected right back. Hope this will work outside of my house like at work on break.

You probably found out by now that you have total control of your pc from your tablet. There are a few limitations thou and Windows Media Center will not work via splashtop been one of them.
The volume should be automatically controlled via the software. i.e it should mute as soon as you remote access to your pc from your tablet and the sound played on the tablet??What format are the tivo recorded programs in? Im not familiar with a tivo platform. You could try an alternative method thou.
Open Windows Media Player on PC >click on Stream tab> Tick Automatically allow devices to play media and allow remote control of player.
Now left click on video folder and check that default save location is C:Users\Public\Videos
This can be changed to, lets say a folder where you recorded files from the tivo are,but for now lets keep it to the default settings.
Now place a recorded program in to C:Users\Public\Videos
Next find the app MyNet and open it. It should find your PC. With your Public Folders, Music.Videos.Pictures.Playlists
Open Video and play file.
I cant remember if any details are needed when the app is open for the first time. May need your pc ip address.I look into this and update details later, if needed.
It was a while ago when i set it up.
Edit. You need Windows Player 11 or later and DLNA-based Windows 7 OS...

Thanks, I am not sure what format my Tivo shows are in but they say .tivo I think and they play right off WMP on my computer but to transfer them to phone or somewhere else you have to turn them into AVI or Mpeg I forget now I have an app that strip the Tivo wrapper and turns it into something else but I forget what file it is. But it's working now and it's all good now I think.
It just didn't work tonight on dinner break at work it wouldn't connect. Splashtop wrote me on FB and said I need to login on tablet and streamer with my gmail in a certain spot and I did and will try it again tomorrow. But it works great I love seeing my desktop and accessing my music and movies. My windows media center quit working a while ago it closes out when you try to open and I get some error message but I don't really use it. But this app is good. I already was using one called Audio Galaxy on my phone to stream my music. But this does it too.
All of a sudden just now my tablet rebooted. I had a game up Hanging with Friends and all of a sudden my screen went white and it rebooted scared me when I saw the white screen. Now to figure out how to add a widget to your home screen? Thanks!

I was wondering, is there any app that allows you to connect ipod/ipad to the asus transformer via the usb? Perhaps copy the music or send pictures over or something.
Sorry for the repost, i have no clue how to delete that post.
The best you can do is pull the photos off, just like connecting your iDevice to a computer without iTunes.
Apple has the internal storage locked down on iDevices so you are forced to use iTunes. That makes it more 'convenient' to use iTunes to purchase everything.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
If you are wanting to copy over music and photos, maybe you could use something like Box from the (android) market, not sure if there is one is the appstore or not, but I know that Box has a special until 3/24 maybe that gives you 50gb of storage.
Maybe browse both the market and appstore and see if there are any apps that are in both and try to do it that way. Could use Dropbox but by the time is all got uploaded, your Top-40 hits would be Classic Rock.
