Try adobe PDF reader, they have already a search option, or try moon reader pro, and download their plugin - PDF Plugins.
Hope this helps!

Please anyone tell me are there any free ebooks for LEO available from borders
please rectify the post's title better, with a [REQ] at the beginning maybe
Anyway, google will help you a lot if you're looking for free ebooks (count of montecristo, three mosqueteers, and every "classic" is free).
The same google will help you finding freeware tools to convert among formats to make those ebooks compatible with the reader tab... there's nothing special "just for the hd2", really, the process is the same for every "open" device which is capable of ebook reading. Maybe closed devices like kindle need their own format, luckily not ours.

I'ìd like to help you, but I yet have to install the version 6 of ax*lor rom which has a reader tab. Anyway there's a thread in the themes&apps forum for hd2 regarding an apps that indexes your ebook for the tab, you may first off install that app, and see the file-extension needed to index ebooks. Look info for that file-extension on google and you know the format those ebooks must be in... probably plain txt is supported, I don't see why it shouldn't.
The books are in .epub format. There is one very good thread about it on here, and an re-indexing app.
here you have some

over 300,000 free titles, and they have the .epub format available for download

Ebooks are amazing. I think one of the most powerful weapons in the internet marketers' arsenal is the ebook. Your ebook format is in the right format to download.
Hi everybody!
Is there a desktop search tool like dtsearch or google desktop search for android? i suppose not, didn't find anything.
I think many of us have several pdf/hmtl/docs etc. on our phones that we'd like to use for quick reference on the go.
Thank you very much in advance

I hope there is at least something in development. I'm willing to pay for a document search program.

As tablets become more popular, and as the variety of uses for tablets grows, something likecthis is goingto be mandatory. I already wish something like this was available!
Doesn't the Google search widget cover a lot of the bases?
No. I see where it makes you think it will search within apps like Google docs, evernote, and springpad, but I have searched for 2 text strings that I know are in all 3 and all I got is internet results.
Im looking forward to an indexed search where I can search my thousands of PDFs and docs and text files on my android tablet, like I can on my pc.

Hey Guys,
what I requier is a multi-search app for pdf or word or both at the same itme.
I.e. i open my documents section , it shows me all my pdf and word files , hit the search button" and the it shows me where the actual word or phrase is (it the names all the document ad so on).I want it to look inside the files not in the names. Just like search in PDF but for mutliple foiles at once.
PLease don't be shy.
Hi, I'm looking for an app that allows me to view wikis in my phone offline, from my SDcard. I want to download the dump file of the wikis,not only wikipedia, but any other wiki, related to games, movies, etc., copy to sd card and use them with a reader.
I found 2 apps that can do that. The first one is fastwiki, which is very good, but it doesn't have images on wiki pages and they are a little messy with the quotes and images, they don't show it properly and the page doesn't have a clean aspect.
The other one is Leo's wikipedia reader, but i couldn't manage to create the wiki file.
Both of them comes with a xml converter to create the wiki file that the app will read. This allows me to view any wiki, not just wikipedia.
Please, if you know a wiki reader like those that's better, post here. Or if you know how to convert leo's file post them here.

Can you please repost your question into the App Review, Recommendation & Discussion Thread.
Thanks!
Hi, in windows with foxit reader you have the feature to screenshot a portion of the PDF you are looking
at and then paste it into a word document. So far after exhaustive google and app searches I cant find an
android app that does the equivalent apart from separate screen shotting apps which waste a lot more time.
Does anyone know an android PDF reader or editor that will let you screenshot in this simple way
thanks
