I have the Tab 2 7". I have tried putting books on my extsdcard but with apps, kindle, nook, kobo, I have been unable to open them. I have even tried dropping in the internal memory in the programs folder with no luck. They work on my galaxy s3. What am I doing wrong?
May be try to download book with the app and see where the book is downloaded and put books their
Or use Aldiko book reader or Moon reader to read the books

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.
Should my Tab have a preloaded book reader? Ive seen some reviews and they go on about the reader hub? My tmo tab has no reader. thx
Aldiko, FBReader, Moon+ Reader, Kindle, Kobo, Laputa, eBooks (Samsung app), Nook, iReader...there's quite a few out there

That doesn't really answer his question. No, your tab SHOULDN'T have a reader app. Or rather, it SHOULD - but T-Mobile chose to remove the reader apps. If you search around on the forums you can find APKs for the missing components, but I haven't found them to be completely bug-free. Laputa is a nice eReader. At least, it's my favorite.
My korean version has not only leaders hub, but also T store book and T store comic preinstalled and it was awesome..... Both ment to be korean online bookstore's kindle app but also works as a great reader. not support many features like moon+ reader but works stable. UI was best I ever seen
You were looking at reviews of the non-us version, In the US they strip all the good apps, and load our devices with bloatware.
So where could we find an installable version of the Samsung eBook ereader?
Kermit
It wont work unless you flash the euro software onto it. Already tried and was really disappointed. They advertise the reader on US TV and they don't even include it!
I'm using moon reader as my ebook reader. When my ebooks were in my phone memory all Republican collections were shown in 'all books' list. But after moving the epubs to ex_sd the books are no more shown. When I import the books from ex_sd they are shown as a list but not shown in my books permanently. How to solve?

I have discovered that the B & N Nook app is a better reader app than the Google books app and would like to sideload or import those books purchased on the market into the Nook app but I can't find the books on my SD card. Any ideas?
Does anyone know what file format(s) the kindle app and google books app uses?

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.
