I'm trying to find an app that can access and show me all three of my libraries for Google Play books, Kindle and Nook in the same thing.
Additional features that would be nice, but not required, the ability to search a title and have it search all three companies sites at the same time; the ability to click on a book and have it open up in it's corresponding application.
For the search feature, I want it to find the book for sale, not just show me a listing, for example, Google doesn't sell David Drake books, but Kindle does. Though Google will show the book in the Google play when doing a Google search, but you can't buy it from them..
If you know of anything that does all three, the main one or any combination of the three, let me know.

Shopsavvy is a phenomenal app and they've acquired a barcode tech company to increase the apps depth. Then I tried barcode scanner and it blew my mind that its even considered on the same level as shopsavvy. Now tools shopper is here, I prefer Google's apps but haven't tried this one much. Can anyone that's come from shopsavvy to google shopper say whether google stacks up? Thanks
And yes I used the search function but I'm on my nexus so when I press search, the box and keyboard comes up and oas soon as I press a letter the box and keyboard disappear. I'm not sure why I bothered to describe that because it happened with my mytouch 3g and I believe my g1 as well so I'm assuming it happens to everyone with these phones....
It feels like a mashup of Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles.
Try it out.
And this one's a step ahead of Goggles.
Keeps analyzing whatever's in the viewport, for a lock on logos,
barcodes, CD/DVD or book covers. No need to snap a photo.
Not to mention that Shopper's much, much, much faster than Shopsavvy. Downside is that it seems to only take DVDs, games and books, and the results it pulls are severely limited.
OK thanks. I did try shopper out a few times but couldn't get it to find anything so I thought I'd ask around. Seems like if I want just one barcode scanner shopsavvy is still definitely the best...I personally really would prefer using Google's apps so hopefully google places, Google scoreboard, and now google shopper step up their games.
Not liking that Shopper doesn't show me local retailers like Shopsavvy, Although Shopsavvy is rather inaccurate many times for prices at my store.. where do they get pricing info from? Seems like theyuse online pricing, which for walmart is different than instore price
Hi everyone,
I try to use bing vision on my book, and it's able to detect the book, show me the reviews and prices. There is supposed to be app linkage in the extra panel where you can choose to buy your book, for example Amazon app, and best buy. However, my phone does not show any app even though I have amazon installed. Same thing happens when I use "Movies search". It does not show me the app IMDB which I have in my phone. Any solution?
Thank you.

These apps need to be updated to take advantage of Mango features. There are no Mango apps available on the marketplace, so you are going to see any of the fancy app integration or other things like multi-tasking until these apps are updated and released onto the market.
So as most of you do, I'm reading about apps in XDA and various other android blogs. I kept running into the whole "highlight-app-name-copy-app-name-open-new-tap-go-to-google-play-click-search-field-paste-app-name-hit-search" game and it thought there has to be a better way.
Enter "Context Search": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dbpfafcplnjmakknnonpegphpmpmhjhj?utm_source=gmail
Add Google play, you don't need the "https://" (see screenshot). Now i can just highlight the app name, click down arrow, choose Google Play and BAM it goes to google play store and searches for the app name.
Go ahead and try it. Its prettly slick.
Open http://play.google.com, right click in the search box, add as a search engine. I use play as keyword. Want to search app named QWERTY: Ctrl+t, play TAB QWERTY INTRO.
I'm a keyboard user when on a computer.

Hi there,
You can download pretty much any content you purchase from the Play Store to be used off line. It gets, however, downloaded in a format that can only be recognized by Google's own applications (Google Movies, Google Books, Google Music, etc etc).
For instance, if you open Play Books and you go to My Library, you will see that each book in your online library will have a menu button. Hit that and you will get an option labelled "Keep on Device". Once that is done, you will get to download the content and can use it off line with the appropriate app, which in this case for this example would be Play Books.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I've got a few questions about the google play newsstand.
I'm using the widget, but a lot of articles show up from pages, that i'm not interested in. I am also not subscribed to these magazines, so i cannot remove them when i click on these articles. Why do these show up at all and how can i get rid of them?
Also, is there a way to make the widget automatically swap through articles every few seconds (kind of like the "news & weather" widget)?
All great suggestions that hopefully Google will implement soon. Until they do you, can could try other news reading apps which have the features you describe.
