I have a Xoom and a Samsung galaxy note. I use aldiko to read books. I want to know if there is a way to sync book across both devices.
Let's say I read a book on Xoom and read to page 16, I want to pick up my note to read the book but I wish to continue from where I left on Xoom.
You'll need root access but it looks like this 3rd party app + dropbox will get you there.

Hi there
I'm buying an Android tablet soon and I will be using it mainly for book reading.
I have a couple of questions about it for anyone that uses their tablet for it.
Is there ANY way to import your own eBook files into Google's new honeycomb book reading application? I'm not talking about uploading them to Google's servers, just dragging a book to a location on the tablet or something so that the application picks it up?
Are there any other good eBook readers that include a smooth animated page turn (like iPad eBook apps) and displays 2 pages rather than a single page paragraph? Optimized for tablets...
Nook has the two page view, BETTER page turn animations than the google app (and anything ive seen on ipad), and allows sideloading of epub files locally.

+1 for nook app. It looks good, it's super stable, and it sideloads easily.
I agree. The nook app is wonderful. 2 page looks fine if that's your thing, and the page turns look great. Also the best part in my mind is the ability to read books you purchased in original font. Though, since sideloading is your thing...you still get the best viewing features in Nook.

Hi XDA,
I use both my Note 10.1 and my Amaze to read books in my off time and I am wondering if there is a way to sync the two devices so that i'd have the same Ebook in both devices and it would be at the last page I read?
currently, I have to read one book on one device, and another book on the other, or i'd have to go searching for the last page each time, which gets pretty tedious.
I currently use FBReader, but am willing to switch to a different app if it would do this.
for fbreader you can use fbsync. it's free in the market. You can also try moon reader. I it syncs using Dropbox. kindlemsyncs too, but iIhate the limited interface.

thanks, FBsync requires root, so i'll have to wait until i finally get around to doing that on my note, but the moon reader option works like a charm :good:

whoops, sorry, i forgot about that detail. i really like kindle since i could sync my ipad, pc, phones, and tablets. i just really hated the limited customizations. i prefer reading black with red text at night and kindle wouldn't allow that.
moon reader + is my choice now since i really don't read on much anything other than my android devices.
Hi friends, i started using galaxy note 2 (N7100), i want to make use of s pen to the most, i use pocket to save the articles/stories to read it later but am unable to annotate on them, so my requirement is not yet fulfilled, i want to know is there any app where i can store the pics/pages/articles/news (anything) and read it later like pocket but which enables me to annotate and make notes on them and save the changes.
am also looking for some app by which i can write on anywhere like to send email or message, and where the android system responds to it, to make a call or send message, to open a tab etc (check the attached image of Lemon mobiles Aspire A1). and a browser app which tracks my regular visits to certain webpages, blogs and keeps me updating the new posts.
thanks you for the responses.
Same boat here

I was looking for exactly the same thing and searching led me to this page. Diigo seem to be promising, but I don't know if this will work well on the android. The android app only shows the link, not a way to read/annotate.
I use a Galaxy tablet 10.1 and a Nexus 7 I recently purchased to organize my work each day. I frequently make a list of destinations on my pc in google maps and then print directions to a pdf and save to my drop box. My galaxy tablet can pull up maps and navigate to any address on the pdf. The Nexus 7 will not do this. It will not select the address no matter how many PDF readers or editors I try, six to this point. This has been with the stock rom non rooted. Today I rooted the Nexus and tried several different roms but none to this point have helped the issue. The Galaxy 10.1 is un-rooted and I don't understand why the same apps react so differently. Does anyone have any suggestions. Sorry this question is so long winded.

Good day to all
Well, just as the title says, that's what I am hoping to do. This is for my church I am doing this btw.
Scenario is this: my pastor has a tablet with an app he generally uses every now and then for certain quotes as he preaches. I'm the I.T guy there, so i have a setup where he can display his tablet on our projector for the congregation to follow. The projector is used, well to display lyrics and scripture throughout the service. The new aim is now to have the song leader view lyrics displayed through the projector that he may not know, especially newly written songs for example plus other things. So now I have a dedicated tablet for use at the pulpit and I have gotten apps setup for displaying purposes, in addition to the app my pastor uses.
Thing is now, he has some bookmarks in it (the app) that he uses to save time when looking for his desired quote. During the song service, he prepares the quotes which he won't be able to do with the new tablet while the song leader has it. The tablet he uses, his personal device, is a samsung galaxy tab 3 and what i got is the fire hd 8 (which is faster and doesn't lock up like that samsung does with apps open).
So I am wondering and hoping if it is possible, to share the data of the app on the samsung with that of the fire hd 8. I came across some things but the device must be rooted which the fire hd 8 is not and I am not sure if it can. What I have not tried yet is the google app sync, came across it some minutes ago (which I am hoping it will do) but I am looking for the best solution for this, without root. My main desire is for the data to be shared speedily. And in case you are wondering, I do have a wifi network setup.
ALSO: Something else that I would like some input on. I want an app that I can use to say, send notes with requests (prayer request for example) or just a note to the tablet at the pulpit. We tend to have it written down and someone will walk to the pulpit to deliver it but I am looking for an app for that. Would like the app to be really fast as far as updating itself with new notes. I am trying evernote but I find it takes too long (at least my from stand point) to resync and what not. There is a notification alert which I don't find efficient especially if the song leader is using the app i setup to view the projector.
Hope my comment isn't too long but I tend to be detailed in things like this. Thanks

SmartSwitch will help out because it's used to share backups between galaxy device's and other devices also
