Does anyone know what file format(s) the kindle app and google books app uses?
Sent using my rooted LG Revolution
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 ?

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.

Im getting really tired of dicking around with converting to epub... are there any apps that will render a majority of ebook formats?
Ideally quality apps.
I use Aldiko App and Calibre on the PC. Not sure this is what your looking for. Calibre manages you library and converts all your books to any format all at one time and I thought Aldiko used more than one format but I'm probably wrong. I converted all my books to the same format a long time ago and I use Aldiko to read them. Maybe one of these will help you out or lead you to something that will.
I use this one. Its pretty good and it's free

Also Ireader is very good (get it on the market), both the free version, and the paying one. With the paying one you can also read locked mobibook format. Its excellent.

Is there a way to use the external memory card with Aldiko?
I just started playing with it so maybe I missed the setting but it seems that it only sees the internal SD.
Otherwise it is a nice reader
Cheers
I don't have a tab yet so I'm not sure about the internal/external card. I know that on my HTC Aria, all the books are stored on my external SD card. I have several hundred books on there now. I used Calibre on my PC to re-code them all to one format and the program auto pushed them to my SD card. I used this guide to get started.

Then I went to www.aldiko.com/ to figure out the app.
Hope this helps
When you install Aldiko it makes a folder on the SD card called Ebooks. Inside that folder is one called import. Make sure you push new books to the import folder. then inside Aldiko hit the minu button and select import. Then it will add new books to your library.
I use a mix of:
eBook (Samsung bundled app)
Aldiko
FBReader
Kindle
Kobo
...and for comic books:
jjComics Viewer
ACV
...and for audio books / podcasts:
AudioBooks
TuneIn Radio
ACast

I recommend FullReader. It supports not only ePub files but also opens many other formats.
what ebook format should I get to be able to work with the S-pen (Kindle , epub , pdf ) ?
Anybody know where can I get pdf ebook ?
I would always lean toward epub, I haven't investigated drm ebooks on here yet, but all the ebooks I have I convert to epub to read with fbreader (on both android for all tablet phone and book reader)
edit;
my book reader isn't android, but does have fbreader.
I use calibre on win and Linux PC's to convert formats
I use epub instead of pdf as it is easier to reflow text for various screen sizes and screen rotate

Calibre cannot translate the Snotes .snb format and i haven't found anything that can. It is an obscure format. I wonder why Samsung used it other than to force people to have their devices to read it.

If you want an ebook to use with the S-Pen I suggest you go for PDF format. As far as I know there are no ebook readers (Apps) that allow marking up epub or mobi files. If you use pdf there are several apps that allow for marking up pdf files with the pen,

Ez pdf reader will open pdf files and when you select the pen at the top it will ask you if you want to copy the file for making annotations and then on that copy you can write what you want with the s pen. BTW the copy will show up in the library shelf when you open Ez pdf reader.

Kindle(which versions),Ipad,Nexus,Samsung tab etc..?
Well, most readers support epub and for the mobi format I sugguest you use the ebook manager 'Calibre' (Freeware). This programm can convert mobi format into the format you prefer.
I personally use the pocketbook touch (622) ebook reader it seems to support epub (for sure) and prc(mobi) (not tested myself yet).
Nook as well

I have a Kindle that I received as a gift - but I use Calibre and it auto-converts epub to mobi without me having to do anything. Great for laziness and not using braaaiiiiins.
