I looked on the thread but couldn't find an answer sooo...I was trying to read the references from a few epubs that I downloaded and was not able to open them. Should I try another ereader or is there a way to fix it?

Try "documents to go" or "moon + reader" from the market.

"documents to go" is the best overall free app to read practically anyting. Monn+reader is designed just for epub.
Aldiko is the best app. Doesnt look as fancy as mylib but it is fast and works perfectly.
Mylib crashed every time I tried it for the last week

We've always been able to download .swf flash game files, but with Flash 10.1 I was hoping we could put them on the sdcard and play offline.
Anyone know how to do this? (For cataloging / playing Flash games when there's no connection.)
HAH! Idea: what about storing an html page that just launches a SWF? What's the least amount of code in a page that would do that?

Hahaha funny you say this, I tried it earlier after reading your message and no go.
For starters, no way to access local file from native browser (others may support it but native doesn't).
Closest I could come was by selecting the html file with astro, then choosing to open it with "HTML Viewer" (built into astro I think?) but it didn't show the embedded flash object.
I think best way to achieve this would be an app that can read a directory on sdcard and generate the html to load into a webview. I was thinking about throwing something together real quick but haven't had time to look and see if something like it already exists.
Damn, that's too bad.
Yeah, I find it very odd that you can't browse local html files.
A long time ago (G1 days) I tried all sorts of //file:/// weird stuff (like Firefox does) and couldn't get anything to work. I can't believe there's no way to browse locally.
Try file explorer in market for local browser.... let me know if it works lol

htmlfileprovider is your friend:

Yeah, I found this in another forum after posting this. Still, would be nicer to have a little interface that scans and builds a little menu out of flash files

V True, if I had anything approaching free time at the moment I'd be tempted to give it a go.
Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.
androidtablets.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/2279-no-signs-reader-hub-us-galaxy-tab.html
Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Anyone been able to get the Ebook app to run on a US tab?
Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

Yep, full epub support, you have to put your books in /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments amd you may have to open "my files" a pair of time for the books to appear.

Has anyone managed to extract the Asus book app (my book, I believe) from the rom? I'm looking for a good epub/PDF reader that will finally free me from the shackles of iBooks and I'd like to give the Asus reader a try on my xoom.
I use the Nook app for epubs and it works great. I know, not what you asked for but just throwing it out there as an option.

I might give that a try - thx for the tip! I used iBooks because I would purchase books via Amazon, de-drm them, convert them to epub, then load them on my iPad for reading via iBooks.

why not just use the kindle app?
will either of those (Nook and Kindle) allow you to load a book that wasn't purchased?

I don't know the situation of Nook, but in the kindle app, you can't do that.
In the nook app you can load local books, just put them in the /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments folder and then in the nook app select My Files from the drop-down.
Nook is the best imo.
Hey there i must say the asus mylibrary is pretty amazing i'll try and get it for you.
Have you tried Moon+? That is my favorite so far. I like it better than the Asus one.
Moon and aldiko are the best. Moon better on the tablet. Repligo for pdfs.

I prefer my books DRM free. I also prefer ebooks formatted in epub, and the Kindle doesn't support epubs.
Here's the MyLibrary apk I pulled from PRIMORDIAL! 3.1.
http://www.mediafire.com/?anmkebataqyepbx
Does it work? No idea.
EDIT: You probably want to push it into system/app and not simply install it.
What's wrong with the MyLibrary app that comes with the TF?

Hello guys, im new here so please go easy on me ....
I have a Galaxy S and upgrade it to gingerbread, i had a few ebooks on it and now
i can access one of them but i can`t access the others...
it gives me this massage:
`sorry,loading files failed.please try to delete the "/sdcard/.myebook/" directory,then restart your phone and re-run the application.`
i did it but still couldn`t access the ebooks,i even deleted all the ebooks then the /sdcard/.myebook/,restarted my phone,download them again and still nothing...
would be really thankful if someone can help me out.
Thanx,
Tlilux
That seems like an issue with whatever app you're using to read your ebooks with. By the way, what app is it that you use to read ebooks?
I'd recommend Aldiko. Been using it for a while, it handles epub format ebooks really well.
thnx for ur replay FBis251...
i use both moon reader and go books,i also downloaded Aldiko but again it gave me the same resulte...
i dont think its about the app i am using,i think its something else.
i try to google the problem and only found 1more person with the same issue as me.
"Can't open app.Gives me error telling me to delete sdcard.myebook directory and to reboot phone. I tried that and I still can't open app."

So you tried to open Aldiko after installing it and it gave you that problem?
show links in a pop-up.
Basically, I have a number of EPUB files that I'd like to read. Most of them have links for footnotes etc. I would like to have a reader which can show the content of the link such as a footnote in a small pop-up window instead of going to the location. I have found it hard to navigate back to where I was the link is clicked.
Moon+ Reader on Android does this - for a reference.
Anyone know of a reader for Windows 8/ Surface RT that can do this?
Thanks!
I haven't seen much on the surface for this? Do you need it for WT epubs by chance?

"JW Bible Reader" is about the best thing going right now for epubs. And the developer is actively updating the app, and responding to suggestions. And it does have the popup footnotes.

Thanks for pointing this out. I tried that app a while back (when I got my first Surface) and it did not have many features.
I just opened it on my computer and realized that it has changed/improved drastically!
I really hope that JW Library gets fixed/updated soon to be on par with iOS and Android. Snap mode isn't working with it if it's small.

Agreed. I'd love to see JW library take advantage of the snapping feature.
I do like how you can look up scriptures from almost anywhere in the JW Bible Reader. I wish it would overlay the scripture instead of opening the NWT. That way, you could read the scripture and go back to whatever you were doing.
