Looking for the apk. I'm hoping it'll install on a Galaxy S phone as well as the email app did. Looking at a video, the ebook app that Samsung put together is rock solid on the reading front, and you can import books too? Pretty much every other ebook app I've seen fails at one or the other.
Its on the market, called ebooks by kobo. Also, its not exactly spectacular.

No I don't think he means the Kobo one.Kobo is the reader included in the reader hub, which should be different to the other one ebooks app that actually looks like the iPad version and that is great.Let me check if I can find in the filesystem and I'll post it

I was anxiously waiting that too, but was sorely disappointed. Ok, it looks cool and the page transition effects are nice.. but BOY is it slow!! It takes ABOUT 3-4 times longer to load the same book in the "eBook" app than it does in Aldiko. The eBook app also hangs and FCs once in awhile, which Aldiko has never done to me.
I heartily recommend you'd try Aldiko rather than get pissed off at that eBook app. Aldiko handles importing really well (except the stupid notifications, but what ever) and is a treat to use. No fancy effects, just sliding pages, but when I'm reading I'd rather read than watch lagging page-transition effects. That may just be me, though.

So you are saying that wait 5 sec is too much? I never had a FC with ebook app but I had with Aldiko jumping between chapters (depending on how the chapters structure was made).

No. I am saying that waiting for 40-60 sec to open a book is frustrating when you want to read. Aldiko opens the same book in roughly 10-15 secs. Also the Tab's eBook app seems to someone lag entirely too much when drawing the transition animations.

Hmm.that might be it.. I'm opening a book with about 700 pages with smaller font size...
Anyways, I like to use Aldiko more because that's faster and the animations lag on the eBook app.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Well, so far no go. Won't install, either with a package manager, or dumping the apk/odex into /system/app. Anyone know how I might try and deodex this? My current rom is deodexed. Maybe that will help?
Also, I use aldiko right now, but I'm a sucker for the fancy effects, at least if done right. The nook app did them excellently, but cannot import well to save it's life.
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.
Hi guys i see some of you like samsung ebook reader, i love it to and im looking for solution to install this apk on SGS II.
Here is the ebook.apk
enjoy
I love also the first one.
On Ics does not work, i tried so many times.
I like the sensation and sound of turn page.
You can not only read, can also left the world behind.

Well the title says it all, but weird enough I can't install it. If somebody wants to try...
Which app are u taking about ?
That SamsungApp calls it an update is more puzzling as eBook is not installed prior (or not visible) to begin with. After doing the 'update' I get an extra app in my drawer.
It isn't that special tho .. you can use it to read epub and pdf documents (pdf is supported by PolarisOffice so no extra functionality there)
Sorry, due to low post count can't show you screenshots or give links to screenshots

It's called "Ebook" on samsungapps, it's an app that is on all samsung tablets, but not on the gnote untill now.
@Yucko : are you on stock rom or custom ? I want this app because I used it a lot on my galaxy tab 7.0
Envoyé depuis mon GT-N7000 avec Tapatalk
Stock rom. eBook was registered as an update.
It installed fine and adds an "eBook" link in the application' page with the marvelous land of Oz as first free ebook..
Shows install failed here too.
Am on LA4 - rooted and deoxeded
Stock ROM (LA4), got it as an "update".
Using it right now, after transferring ePub to the Note using Calibre. The application is a bit slow, but fine for what it is: to read books.
As a curiosity, it can read the books, if you like a "robot" reading books for you
I think it only works on stock rom.
can't seem to find it in samsungapps ! could someone please upload the apk ?
have you tried moonreader+ or adliko?..
both are great . .i prefer moonreader because it is more customizable. .

Actually no, because i use to use ebook on my tab 10.1 and tried to copy the apk on my note but it didn't work.
Thanks anyway, will give it a try.

i would love this app. Can someone get it to work with a custom & rooted ROM? i would so donate beer or coffee for a working version. Loved this app on my GT10.1
That would be fantastic to have that app available somehow. I installed ICS on my note, but the random vibrating drove me crazy. Went back to the stock rom, but now I lost my ebook app. I absolutely loved it, it was visually very appealing. (not Kobo, but the iOS-eBook-like app)
I've found the galaxy tab version; but it doesn't work on my note.
Is there any way to get it back? Can't find it on the samsung app store either.

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.
Can anyone suggest an app for me?

Hi everyone.
I want to ask about program called EReader that's placed in most ROMs for EVO 3D and in ROM Cool-ICS-v13-EvoG too.
I want to know how can I install it to other device?
When I copying it from system folder and trying to install on my ZT-282 C91 Upgrade or other android device it's giving me error and tells that application was not installed.
Please help me with this trouble. On the next week I need to fly far away from civilization and there only books will be available and I'd like to read them on my 10" pad but not on 4.5" smartphone.
Some apps have a data file as well. Maybe you should try copying the data folder over too.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.
Tried too
Thank you for answer.
Can you help me and tell which files and folders must be copied with it?

There is another ereader app here.
http://www.filecrop.com/75657959/index.html
or
https://aldiko.zendesk.com/entries/...n-2-1-0-of-the-aldiko-book-reader-application
or
http://www.filecrop.com/31474921/index.html
The second and third are Aldiko ereaders. Mirrors of eachother. Just use the official second one. Or if it doesn't work, the third one. If you are not happy, use the first one.
download it using the mediafire link.
And you should get an APK. That is an App. Put it on your sd then in your 10". Then use a file manager to install it. If you do not have one, install astro from the market. Then go into your sd with that app. Click on the file then install.
Anyway, back to your prob. You will have to copy the directory (ereader) from the system. And maybe the DATA folder.
It will not be compatible the way you did it because they are two different devices. Copying the system whole will not work.
Also, as a side note. If a post is helpful. Hit the thanks button. Helpers will appreciate it more. I will help you regardless but others may not.
Lets try and get this fixed before your trip. Good to see your reading, expanding. What you reading anyway?
Thank you for helping me.
Readers that you advised are haven't page turning effect like com.htc.ereader and it's sad.
I've started to read many different book cause of that effect )))
I like to read books of fantasy gender and documental books about famous people like Nicola Tesla and other who did a lot useful things for humanity.
If its com.htc.ereader then it is probably an HTC sense application which we all know cannot be brought to a non sense ROM.
And that ROM you linked is sense 3.6. So I'm putting big money on the table its a sense app
