Which one is better and why? I'm looking for one that zooms in and out easily. No glitching and looks the best.

Well, I'm using RepliGo... I haven't tried ez, but I have no lag whatsoever on RepliGo.
I use ezpdf most of the time for looking at large construction drawing files. Works great for annotating but does pause to load quite a bit. I will try repligo and see now it compares and report report back.
Or you could try PerfectViewer with the PDF plugin. I've been using it to read magazines and pdf-comics...
Yeah. PerfectViewer is great for reading. Definitely the best choice, if you don't need to annotate PDFs and stuff.
Another vote for perfect viewer. Much better than either you have mentioned for PDFs.
Thanks guys! Downloaded Perfect Viewer and it work site a charm. It even reads my cable bill when Adobe Reader couldn't. To top that off, it's FREE! The two I mentioned cost $$$!!

EZPDF Reader just released an update that has a *very* nice dual-page view (much nicer than Perfect Viewer, in my opinion)... Check it out...

Hi all,
Looking for a good PDF reader for Honeycomb tablets that shows the PDF files in a magazine style. Like Zinio does, just with external PDF files.
Anything like that exists?
Thanks
Seems to be the theme of my last few posts but try-
repligo pdf reader.

That's what I've been looking for... Zinio allows it only for the special version PDFs you download from their shop...

Actually works, but is quite slow compared to kindle, as far as I remember.
The strange thing about Kindle is that it does not appear in the list of applications available for opening pdf files. I also tried Default App Manager Lite, but it seems not working.
Im using RepliGo its not free but you can do notes, bookmarks, highlights.
Give it a try.

Yes, I've purchased it. It's great, but there is no support for dual-page view.
The best I've seen is using eBookDroid. It works best if you have a means of hiding the action bar, as otherwise, pages don't fit as well on the screen landscape mode, otherwise similar to the black bars on TVs showing animorphic widescreen movies).
ezpdf is the best I've tried
If you guys haven't checked out mobo player you should. They just added that window effect that the GS3 has. Its amazing on our tablet. Here is a screenshot of me playing final fantasy 3 while watching the first episode of The Big Bang Theory which I ripped from my bluray streaming from my pc via file manager hd. It really shows the true speed and power of this tablet.

I'd love to like this player, but it has trouble playing back any .mkv and .avi files I've tried on it. One video played back right, Vertigo, but that movie is over 50 years old and isn't going to showcase the amazing power of this tablet lol.
Yea, i agree its not the best video player out there and i like BS player a whole lot better but the window thingy is pretty cool. Hopefully with time the player end of the app will get better.

Exactly..
By the way... what uses can the small screen have for ya. I would have a hard time paying attention while doing other tuff..
Lastly, anyone download sites to pick up good movies to add to the table?
Even better yet, just use whatever video player you want and then use "Stick It!" - a windowed video player! It allows you to resize and move the window and it would work with ANY other app! The guy that writes it also has 3 or 4 other windowed apps for Android - check them out on the Play store - they are really cool...

I use "Stick It" as well!!!
Why pay 1.79 for "stick it" when you can have "Super Video, Floating, and Pop-Up" update for FREE. It does the same exact thing. Plus it had an Update 7 days ago. STICK IT hasn't had one since May.

A few reasons:
1. I purchased it way before "Super Video" was available.
2. It's a *much* better app - it simply works better!
Have you actually tried Stick-it? Just because an app is updated more recently does not make it better!

Stick-it is a stand-alone app (a windowed video player). The author of it makes 3 or 4 other windows apps as well (a browser, video player, calculator and a terminal emulator).

Anyone know of an app that would allow you to do this with non-videos? For example, having a browser window open and another app windowed? That would be great for comparing data.

you can do the opposite with OverSkreen. Its a floating browser. Same goes for LilyPad, a floating IM client (only gtalk, facebook and msn at the moment).

Nothing that general, but there are a growing list of floating apps available on the market such as:
Hovernote, a floating notepad that supports copy and pasting

Hello all,
I get all my magazines (and most of my books, technical at least) digitally.
How well does Zinio, Kindle, and Moon readers work on the 10.1? Does it screen geometry work well with pages and pdfs?
Thanks,
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Moon reader works very well not sure about the others
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
That would be a very subjective opinion. IMO the GNote10 works extremely well as a reader but I don't tend to try and read specialized formats. When you find out be sure to let us know.
Kindle works great.
Actually my Note 10.1 IS my reader for newspaps, mags, currents, kindle. For kindle I setted it to black background to get 14hrs of reading. Had to get used to it but now I like white letters on black
I use Repligo reader for my PDF's, ezPDF too. I like to use Coolreader for my epub, txt documents and use Polaris to read word docs... I know its a few apps but different apps give different options... I know Moon+ also gives you the option to read out the books too, got that there too as well as Ireader... Haven't really tried other formats but I love the (almost) A4 size screen... Better than my 7" galaxy tab...
I have also looked for a good Magazine reader and finnaly found it. Manatano reader premium .. so nice! If it is a PDF it has a feature where it makes it to a ebook look when reading
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Aldiko Book Reader Premium for eBooks mainly. I started using it with a rooted Nook Color and liked the interface more than others. I have Kindle and Nook installed as well, but they are not used much. For pdfs, I use exPDF reader; works well.
Thanks for the great advice all!
Anyone else use Zinio for magazines?

I use Zinio and it works great. I download the magazine(s) I'm interested in and read them offline - I read somewhere that some other apps don't allow you offline reading
Cheers

Nook works great.
I cannot go past reading page one of any book so not the question for me but there should not be a problem in reading books only thing you need is a good app but yes it may not give you the kindle book reader experience or the battery life but at the same time should not be an issue as long as you can do with the weight i would rather get a 100$ tablet to read ebook then using a note if that all I am gonna do
But thats not all I do, I play music, watch movies and do some work.. Gotta mix it up a bit. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy...:laugh:

Yep known problem with the way Google Music works. Either you'll have to live with it, reduce the amount of music or move to another music app.

Yeah me too. At one point I had 60+ albums on there but couldn't stand the 'refresh' everytime I opened it. Now I keep maybe 8 or 10 and it is a lot better.
Maybe google will figure out how to do better media storage caching at some point. The gallery suffers from the same issue as does the google books app and magazines and so on ....
One thing though .... trying this on my samsung galaxy s 2 .... no lag with refresh at all .... with around 50 local albums. Running latest res.remix/4.2.1
Would be interesting to know how device specific this is...

Any help here? Since, Nexus 7 has a 7 inch screen, usual page view is out of the question, it is to small. If I use text reflow option, the text is fine but it isn't aligned like it is in normal page view, and the pictures are way off. I tried
- Default reader
- Adobe Reader
- Kindle
- Aldiko
- Moon Reader
All of them are the same. Book reading on Nexus 7 isn't as good as it is said in commercials, for now at least.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I think that is only your opinion as I use Moon reader+ and couldn't be happier.
You have the choice to change the margins width and font size.
Also bear in mind you should look for an appropriate eBook format like .epub as opposed to .PDF if you want to have the best experience.
Enviado desde mi Nexus 7 usando Tapatalk 2
MoonReader + is perfect for me as well. What don't you like about it? what formats are you trying to read?
If PDF try perfect viewer with the pdf plugin.
How about Fabrik?
This is the best reader that I have proved, it is from sony, so the UI is perfect
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ablet.reader.other.usca&feature=order_history
IF THIS WAS HELPFUL HIT "THANKS"
Nope, sorry. Although I am very grateful for all the help, they don't do it. All my books are in .pdf, but I tried finding .epub but failed. Sony one is incompatible with Nexus 7, Fabrik seemed really nice but it is trial so I don't think I'll be using it much longer. I will keep it though.
Thank you all!

You will never find a perfect reader for pdf documents, simply because of the pdf format which is not adapted for tablet or e-readers (pdfs are not ebooks).
You may want to try converting your pdf into an ebook format (such as epub) with the free and open source Calibre app for pc, Mac or linux
