Then you want a pdf reader! ;-)

aldiko is my fav

I really like iReader

Aldiko is by far the best reader on the market.
If you want to convert books to epub or pdf, you can use a free program called Calibre. http://calibre-ebook.com/

i thought with Kindle you couldn't import books?

wow, glad i looked at this thread. aldiko is so much better than the one i was told about just a few days ago, laputa.

[Q] Google Reader for side-loaded PDFs?

Is it possible to get side-loaded PDFs to show up in Google Reader?
I have ezPDF Reader (free in Amazon Appstore a while ago) but it's not as clean a UI as Google Reader

For that matter can anyone get it to load side-loaded EPUB. As far as I can tell you cannot.

I use repligo for pdf.

Doesn't Aldiko Book Reader do it ?

Maybe you misunderstand me. I'm not looking for an alternative - I already have ezPDF, which is fine - I'm looking to see if there's a way to get PDFs visible in the Google Books app.
I'm assuming not.

So the only way to get books into this is to actually *gasp* purchase them?
I was looking at a few books to purchase on there a bit ago.. wow... expensive... come on... lower the prices ... there is no need for them to be that much. lol

That's not what bothers me. I have a number of tech PDFs that I'd like to use. Right now I'm using ezPDF, but it has it's issues. And I really like the bookshelf motif in Google Books.

I was being sarcastic. I searched the whole T.F. directory tree last night looking for where they might store the .pdf and I couldn't find it either. Don't know where the files are actually kept?
I'd like to import some stuff in there as well because it just looks "cleaner"

uTorrent for Android Phones!

uTorrent now has a full BitTorrent client for Android, so you can download torrents right to your phone no matter where you are.
Download from Google Play [Beta] : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.utorrent.client
Android 2.1 and above.
Should we consider Torrent as a download option now

Thread Moved​
Its a app, so goes in themes and apps. Please post in the correct section.​

uTorrent are mostly used to download cracked apps, games, music and movies. Is this thread really legit for this site? I say no.

Torrents dont mean illegal activity, Its a way of sharing
The app itself is fine, Its what the users choose to use it for what can be illegal.
Even O_G didnt close it ! so it must be good :good:

Don't use Google. You might find some shocking things there - if you're looking for it.
There are lots of legal ways to use torrents. μTorrent is a tool, just like Google.

I am NOTE amused.

I've been using tTorrent Pro. At the time I bought it, it was the best I could find. It works but could be better. I have not been able to find a good NZB client for Android either. I bought PowerNZB, it works, the 2 or three other ones I downloaded did not work. Most are for feeding your NZB client on your home server, I have a script and dropbox folder for doing that. If I do download media on my phone, I use PowerNzb more often then torrents.

Well, uTorrent is just a sharing application. If you want, you can download similar application with any other downloader tool. The application itself is not corrupted. It's the people who use this in wrong way.
** uTorrent is sometimes better for downloading. :good:

I also tried the µTorrent and BitTorrent apps some weeks ago. But I have to say, that they are sometimes unstable.
The design is not the best, but reason for that could also be the big screen of the note ^.^
My favourite torrent client is "Swarm". It's stable, simple design, light-weight and works fine with all extras we know from the desktop client.
Better try this.

Hey so I torrented an item, and than went to locate it on my gs3 and now I can't find it. I've went through rooted processes to find the app and see if it downloaded within the folder there but not to be found.
I haven't deleted it...it still shows its on my phone.
Can anyone reccomend any solutions? I haven't changed any settings on my utorrent app on my phone.

Try to download another item and it will notify you before it starts to confirm the folder to store in . . Then you will know where the first item is stored . Hope it helps.

Tested, not bad but it would be perfect if I could connect to my uTorrent windows client using the app going through my wireless network. I know there are remote feature but they are in the cloud or using a web browser (to connect directly to the torrent client)

As I student, how I can make use off?

Hi everyone, I want to buy this tablet very soon ~ any way, I'm interested in a feature that will determine whether to buy it or not
;

Can I download a PDF books (about 1000 paper) and use s-pen to add notes and highlight things, then leave and go back and find all data I add there.
Repeat the question but put PowerPoint instead of PDF, thank you.

For pdf, you can achieve this with ezpdf amongst others. For PowerPoint, you probably will have to convert to pdf before annotating.
But both can definitely be done.

Buy it!
I am a student too. I bought the note just for school, but I use it now for watching movies, calls etc.
The best thing for me as student is the s note app. I take the pen and note just like a pepper book. It is amaizing. It is like u have just one book and everything u need is in there when u study for exams I love it for my use

Here's what I use. Not a student anymore but wish I had this when I was.
Dropsync - Setup a dropbox account and buy and SD card and then use Dropsync to do a FULL sync of Dropbox to your tablet for your notes/PDF books, etc. Dropsync will also automatically upload any updated files.
ezPDF - Annotate PDF files.
Polaris - Annote office files. I have other office apps, but this is the best for annotating documents.
S-notes- I use S-notes how I would use scrap paper, short documents, small notes, ideas, brainstorming etc.
LectureNotes - This is what I use as a notebook - better note taking capabilities. If you set it to a dropsync folder it will also sync your files into Dropbox and you can view them as a PNG file if you look in that folder. Dev also mentioned they may be willing to add an automatic export to Evernote feature which would make this a killer handwritten note app.
Total app costs I think are <$10 and will be the best money you spend. Everyone will be jealous. Whenever I'm at a conference and sit next to someone with an iPad they want to know how I'm doing what I do on my tablet!

Using Polaris office you can annotate powerpoint without converting to pdf.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

well im a also student, so here is my experience.
I primarily use repligoPDF to view my pdf (usually in ppt format which i then converted into pdf thru polaris office). so instead of printing out my slides then attend class to annotate, i can simply download and annotate there on my tablet.
As for regular note taking, i use LectureNote for general class note taking. This app is THE BEST for this tablet and waaaaay better then s note. You can choose different colors to write in and the pages scroll down instead of flipping like s note (which is so much easy to view). Not to mention there is also auto scrolling in which once you to write to a certain area on the bottom of the screen, the app automatically scrolls down for you. Dont have to flip a page anymore.
After all that, you can also download Dropbox and dropbox sync (which i recently discover) and EASILY sync your notes to dropbox and view it from ANYWHERE.
dropbox sync(paid version since free version only allow upload up to 5mb per doc) basically allows you to create 2 folders, one on your tablet and one on your dropbox, and the whenever there are changes made it automatically updates/uploads the changes to the cloud storage. That way, all your notes will be backup and assessable anywhere for additional reading or if you want to print it out (despite having a tablet and going green on printing out note for note taking, i still find using print-out version for studying for exams is more natural)
I havent play around with using word or excel, but from my previous TF700(with keyboard) experience, andriod arent really made for word or excel at the moment. you certainly can open up docs and excel files to edit, but i can assure you that it feels weird. You will prolly have better luck using a comp for that anyways since tablets are really ment for on-the-go-access(mostly viewing) without the bulkiness of a laptop and doesnt really replace a laptop.
Hope this helps!

Wow respect. You're actually doing it the way Samsung intended i ditched that snotes a long time ago due to... Well everything, i was skeptical in the beginning but after getting to know lecture notes =mind blown.
How can you write that well on the multi screen Window of s notes? Do you zoom in and out for each small bit?

More's the shame. LN is a fantastic app and beats the socks off of Snote. AFAIC the only real plus to SN is multiscreen. I quit using it day one.

Not the only possible solution but, for me, Moon+ Reader (or EzPDF) and IVONA Text-to-Speech HQ do a good (almost acceptable) job.
