[APP Request] - PDF reader - magazine style

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.

Great app, thanks

+1 for ezpdf reader. Been using it since the 1st week i got my transformer.

Mantano reader is very cool. Try it.

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

I managed with kindle and android 3. Actually, with android ICS, kindle does not open pdf files, don't know why. I use an asus transformer tf101.

Have you tried Perfect Viewer with pdf plugin?

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

10.1 as a reader?

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,

Moon reader works very well not sure about the others

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

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:

Converting snote files

So I am a student an i rely heavily on my note well to take notes, I want to switch from revolution hd to cm10.1 I know that there are many alternatives to snote but I can't lose the notes I've taken for this semester. So I was wondering if there was a way to convert the snote files to another note taking app?

I believe you can open pdf's in lecture notes and work with them.

A good reading app for Nexus 7

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.

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.

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

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

Converting pdfs

I have seen the new books app and you can upload your own PDFs now, I have done a couple and its brilliant. Only problem is some of the PDFs are like 150mb where you have a limit of 50mb, what's the best way of downsizing the apps, any programs or ways to help
