Hi All,
I just bought Galaxy tab and I am loving tab eBook app, not just because of animations but because of few important features like dictionary which is not available in Readers Hub Kobo.
One quick question- How can I purchase and import books in Tab ebook App. There is no download/buy button.
I have downloaded few books in kobo but I would like to open them in Tab's eBook app. Please help how can I do that.
You can't, those are 2 differents apps. And could you be so kind to post the apk of the ebook reader? I lost mine while upgrading my firmare. And I really loved the old book theme
Should be in /system/app/Ebooks.apk
Thanks again, kind sir

Just use Calibre for your ebook needs... It can't get them for you, but it can organize it for you and convert from almost any format to almost any format.... Also it can download cover and meta data...
You just have to download a book, import it, ( edit meta data), convert it, send it to the device, and read.

Sorry, Could you guide me bit more. When I click download Epub from website, i got URLLink.acsm file which I can open in Adobe digital edition. I am not able to convert in to tab supported epub using Calibre.
If I remember it well (I currently haven't the ebook reader installed - looking for a deodexed version) you can import ebooks very easy by creating a folder on your sdcard called Digital Editions and place your epub books in there. Maybe you have to reboot before they show up.
(Could be that you first have to sign up for the online store)
Guys could you please just guide me how can i download epub format book.

Just download the acsm file, open it with Adobe digital editions. Go to My Documents/My Digital Editions and there you have your epub files.
(Hope you didn't found that out yourself while I'm writing this)

I always remove the drm protection from the eBooks I buy. Just to prevent this kind of problems. I use this method: http://www.dvdvideosoftware.org/guide/remove-drm-from-adobe-epub.html
Maybe there are some better ways nowadays. Just search for it.
BTW isn't it possible to set your adobe id in the eBook app?

I can not see /system folder. I am using inbuilt files application.
Which format are ebooks that have animation when flipping pages?
Sent from my GT-P1000M using XDA App
To get it back you have to change the product code back to something like CPW. This worked for me.
The code was something like *#232*IMEI#. Check the forum if thats not the one.
After that factory reset (you will loose everything!), youll be good to go

The flipping pages animation isn't part of the ebook format (although most ebooks are ePub format) that's just something the ebook reader does or doesn't do. Laputa does it but when you flip backwards it's the same animation. The Nook software is the best for the US for accurate animation.

You'll need to use something like ASTRO File Manager
I have an additional question. Does anyone know where/how the ebook app stores it's book index? I would like to be able to sync the book and index between my Note and Tab.
why my ebook not working?
Wow i just realize that calibre is already developed for android

Hey guys this may have been asked before but I don't know if I can search using the xda app. Is there a way to open pdf files in the browser. When I click on the link that opens the file it just brings up a blank screen. Any way around this?
Thanks everyone

Is anyone else even having the same problem?
Yes you can search, both in the xda app you are using ( but it won't limit to just one section), and also on the website.
As far as pdf files go... it just auto downloads them whenever I click one.
Sent from my Inspire '4g'.
After downloading them, should be able to open them with the included Adobe Reader app no?
Well the specific website I'm trying to open the file from opens it in a pop up window rather than downloading. The pop up window comes up however it is just s blank white window. On a pc it's in this window that I can save the pdf file however I can't do that on my inspire. I've had windows mobile smartphones for the past few years and this is my first android device.

Yes, I'm having the same problem with specific websites. I have one that I would love to download pdf's from and I get the blank website just like you. Even switched to Dolphin browser (which I really like generally), and I have the same issue with this particular website. Anyone have a solution?
try a 3rd party browser. maybe dolphin or opera mobile.
Does anyone know the location of an eBook once you tell it to make it available offline?
Or
I've got some eBooks that I would like to make available to the Books app on the XOOM, where do I put them?
You beat me to it, I was just wondering the same. I have several thousand books I would like to be able to drop in.

They are In the data/data folder...in the google.books folder...don't have my xoom at work, so can't give you the hole name.

It appears to be a proprietary book format, but I don't know enough about it for sure.
Each book is split up into many different files. I've transfered it to my computer to investigate it further, but I've had no luck.
I went looking when I first got the Xoom because I wanted to put my book collection in there.
Someone smarter than me will have to figure out how to do that!
The only alternative I've found so far is using Aldiko (ebook reader from the Market). You store the eBooks on the XOOM and import them into the app. I would prefer to use Google Books however.
That's incredibly frustrating. Even iBooks allows you to add your own epub. If Google Book a can't that's a huge setback for me. I read a couple hours a day on my tablet.

*BUMP* Anything new discovered? It sucks that we need another application and can't use the built in for reading ebooks. I love how books lets you turn pages.

The nook app has a very similar page turn animation and I think the app in general looks better on honeycomb than both kindle and google books. Maybe give that one a try!

Nook is only available to US users (and maybe certain other countries, but I'm not sure). People outside of US can't download nook. You have to find a way to sideload it to your Xoom if you are not in the US.
And Nook has problems displaying book covers from my own epubs. So I'm sticking to Kindle but converting to mobi format may be a hassle to some.
How did you manage to successfully import your mobi files to Kindle?
I have tried copying the files to the SD card location which makes them appear in the app but the app crashes when I try to open them. I have also tried opening them with the Kindle app from my file manager. Again, this was unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help in advance!
iReader?

have u guys tried iReader?
awesomely free!
I know its been awhile since this was last commented honest and maybe Google has updated Play Books since the last comments, regardless im pretty sure that it now doesnt matter where you get your digital content. Play Books will permit you to upload them and read across multiple devices. I have a fairly decent collection and i go back and forth between my Note III & Note VIII. If the book that you want to read isnt on the particular device that your using, Play Books downloads it. I have been unsuccessful in finding the default directory for the appand it was that very question that brought me to this post. :good:
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?
My college daughter just got herself a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. She has Office Suite installed.
When she downloads a .doc file and taps on it to open, she gets the error above (CANNOT OPEN FILE). If she opens OfficeSuite and select this file it opens without a problem. It does not happen with .pdf files for example.
Any idea what it might be and how to fix this?
Thanks.
I dont use that software but, my guess would be go into settings, manage apps, then look for office suite program. Click on clear defaults. Now when she clicks on a .doc it should ask her what app she would like to use to open it.

I tried that, it didn't help. It's not even getting to a point where she is asked to select an app to open the file, it just says CANNOT OPEN FILE and it says that about any .doc file.
Im at a loss, you could try google quick office. It is supposed to be quite good. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

Thanks. As I said, we don't even get to the option of selecting which app to use, it just point blank tells us "cannot open".
