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

Does anyone know of a PDF reader that supports displaying two pages at the same time in landscape mode (like a book or magazine). I would have thought that this was basic functionality, but I cannot find a single app to do it....
I'm REALLY looking for GoodReader for Android (an IOS app - hopefully they port to Android soon)!

Never seen dual page layouts for pdf readers on Android. I know a lot of ebook readers and comic readers are capable of it, but none so far for pdf files.
Does really no one have an answer to this?
I know about the solution perfect viewer plus the pdf addon, but there are often crashes and its slow.
Can't say that I have one, although I can't say I have ever found a great PDF reader fir Android either.

Mantano reader is one of the most complete readers, suited more for honeycomb than for other versions. Repligo is probably the fastest.
If I want to read a PDF with two pages at one time, I simply convert it to epub and read it with MyLibrary. Works like a charm!

Man, I need to get back into programming... I've found quite a few "missing" apps like that for Android... Something that seems so basic (displaying 2 pages at once) - and there is not a single app to do it for Andoid! What an opportunity!
I'm using repligo right now and it's great. But it lacks the functionality to add a blank page in a pdf document. Is there an app that allows me to do this?

What sort of PDF are you trying to import? I can import PowerPoint slide shows, 3 up config, up to 180 pages worth without a problem. When I try to import blueprint pdf's, 11x17" format, I have a similar issue of S Note failing.

PPT files is powerpoint file~ i think wat he means is using Polaris Office to import ppt file. It is fine for documents,excel and powerpoint file. But Problem in PDF.
Having the exact same problem with mine, Canadian wifi model, 32Gb. seems with any PDF file, at least any that I've tried. It will bring up the loading bar saying importing page 1/X... and then it pauses for a long time at the last page then just crashes right to the home screen with no error.
Fairly annoying as this was the feature I was most wanting to use with this device. If anyone can share a fix it would be much appreciated.
If this pdf would work... it would be GOLDEN. I hate using ezPDF just cause of the UI... its embarrassing. Gives Android a bad name...
I think this pdf problem is effecting all Canadian versions. I've tried 2 different ones and they both have the problem. Contacted Samsung Canada about it but they said they weren't aware of any problems. And to the above ezPDF is pretty good, not sure why you think the UI is bad. As for the eraser problem I just change the color to white, works pretty much like an eraser.

If you use the airbrush icon, it gives you pen, air brush, and eraser. To access these, you have to click back and forth and it is quite tedious. They could have laid the pen/eraser and thickness control in the quick access menus. Using the s-pen button to toggle highlight would also be a nice addition.And general UI, the awkward orange and patterned background doesn't look too good. The buttons on the main file explorer page on the top right is all bunched up because the app was made for mobile devices not tablet optimized.
Having said that, the functionality is simply amazing. It does literally everything you need it to do. Just wish the UI was a little more "Holo".
Hey, me too.. i have a Portuguese Version and failed to import the PDF..
Please help me.. i need import pdf in S Note..

I was facing the same issue right after I bought mine and mine was in Singapore.
I sent my queries to Samsung staff and they clarified that yes it is not working at that moment.
However after the 76mb recent update, it solved everything, able to import pdfs and also scroll bars in snote.
If you have not received the update, the only solution is to update to jellybean which is working when importing pdfs.

Just got off the phone with Samsung Canada support. Long story short, it was working for him but we established that he is running a different build than me. I have the N8010 bought from Staples Canada and the build number for me is IMM76D.N8010XWALG4. I have not received any OTA update either.
He is going to investigate further tomorrow and call me back so lets see what happens.

Yeah I tried Kies and it says I'm on the lastest update I'm sure they've bungled something as my build and tech support's build was different. Shipping the wrong build tsk tsk.

Yeah adobe reader has some decent annotation and it's free. If you want something more powerful I'd go with ezpdf.

The software the note comes with is baffling. Issues like no locked zoom in snote and broken annotation in Polaris are so glaring and readily come upon that I have to wonder just how little Samsung or the app developers actually care. It's like they made these things and then forgot all about them.
Which is crazy considering these things are what they have chosen to highlight. Snote should be constantly improving. Instead nothing gets checked off from the list of improvements and shortcomings.
