Epub app, needs to open files and preferably comply with the standard - General Questions and Answers

Looking for an epub app.
Highest priority: opens epub files (e.g. on microSD) directly, without an intermediate step of installing to its own library.
Also important: high compliance with the epub standard, including accurate rendering of spacing and fonts and preferably epub 3.0+ support.
Is there anything available on Android (free or paid)?

Why is it important that the app doesn't install the epub file in its own library? Epub files are not generally that large (and you can always delete the file when you have finished with it).
And if you insist that the app does not make a copy of the epub file, you're imposing a serious limitation on the app's behaviour. To open an epub file, the app has to decompress it (epub files are zip archives), and it must either keep that decompressed copy in memory (which may mean the device runs out of memory) or in the file system (which means making a, decompressed, copy of the archive).

Play locally stored Flash files on Surface.

I was trying to find a way to open .swf files which are locally saved.
My primary thought was using an html file in which I would link the desired .swf file.
When trying to open the html file via IE10 the file was blocked from IE and didn't load.
I then added the local drive path (C:\) as an exception to IE's whitelist with the method shown in this thread but again Flash didn't load.
After some more unsuccessful tests I finally ended up playing the .swf file when I opened the html file using Word 2013!
The file had its full functionality with no lag or other problems.
Only drawbacks found in this method was that Flash file didn't extend to fit the whole screen and that you are dependent on Word to play the file.
I know that it's not a proper method on playing .swf's, but it's an indication that Flash plugin could be enabled for local files.
So, do you have any other suggestions on playing locally saved Flash files or adding an exception on IE's whitelist for local path?

PDF Management on Android

Hey,
because all the files from my university come in the PDF Format I was thinking if there is a way to manage those files better on a rooted android device such as the sony Xperia z3 tablet.
Is it possible to save PDF files that you download with the chrome browser in a separate Folder? So that you don't get a bunch of PDF files into the download folder? I want chrome to automatically save PDF files in the folder "pdf" for example so I can easily find each pdf file.
Is that possible?

Need help restoring playlists from .pla files

Recently I had to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I backed up most of my stuff to my SD Card (don't own a computer and therefore Samsung Kies is no option). I now need to restore all of my playlists. I have them all saved in a folder called playlists currently on my SD card and they are all .pla files. The thing is I can't figure out where to put them to restore them. I have tried making a new playlist in Music to see where it default saves so I can paste my playlists to the same location but I can't see the folder. I downloaded the app ES File Explorer and searched for one of the test playlists and it located it in Emulated/0/Playlists however I can't access that folder or even see it. I have tried selecting the setting that allows me to view hidden files but that still doesn't let that folder show up. I can't figure out how to do this! Can someone please help, these playlists represent hours and hours of work and I use them for my job so I can't lose them! I'd appreciate any help to be written in laymens terms as I really don't understand a lot of the technical stuff so please keep it simple for me!
Thanks!
I wrote up a tutorial on how to get playlists working below. This can also be used to convert your .pla playlists to .m3u playlists so you may continue to use them. Use Lizzy's tool listed below and you will be able to accomplish this.
Create a Playlist in Windows for Android 10+ created 4/17/20
1. Get your music file names standardized first
a. Use standard format
i. Artist – Track Title
ii. Fix Tags using MP3 Tag
b. Make sure they are in the storage folder you will use before transferring to the phone
2. Create your playlist in Windows Media Player
a. Android 9 or prior - Default save is .WPL file which can then be played
b. Android 10+ needs a .m3u file to read in Google Play Music several techniques work
i. Save as .m3u using Windows Media Player
1. Easiest to do but file cleanup can be a little more complex
ii. Save as .wpl and convert to .m3u using - WPL to M3U Converter and Editor v3.1
1. softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/WPL-To-M3U-Playlist-Converter-and-Editor.shtml
2. Have to select he file location for this to work (tool forces you)
iii. Save as .wpl and convert to .m3u using java library + tools – Lizzy-1.1.1.Zip
1. sourceforge.net/projects/lizzy/
2. Use the script provided by Lizzy and make sure you install Java Runtime
a. Transcode -o "Ethan 12-18.m3u" "Ethan 12-18.wpl"
b. If a file name contains spaces use “ “ see example above
c. Now that you have a .m3u file you have to clean it for android consumption by opening it in notepad
i. The files listed after “#” don’t matter as they are comments
ii. Make sure all the other file names conform to the following standard
../folder/filename.mp3
1. The “folder” will be inside the “Music” folder on your android device once you move the music over
a. If there is extra folder information just use replace all with “..”
b. Windows media player will default to using all “\” and must use replace all with “/”
c. Perform any other fixes needed using Replace all feature until the rows are uniform in format
d. The resulting lines should look like the examples below:
i. Using Windows Media Player to make .m3u
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,Flo Rida - Whistle.mp3
../New 2012/Flo Rida - Whistle.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Flo Rida - Wild Ones ft_ Sia.mp3
../New 2012/Flo Rida - Wild Ones ft_ Sia.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Florida Georgia Line - Cruise.mp3
../New 2012/Florida Georgia Line - Cruise.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Fun - We Are Young.mp3
../New 2012/Fun - We Are Young.mp3
ii. Using Conversion Software from .wpl to .m3u
../New 2012/Flo Rida - Whistle.mp3
../New 2012/Flo Rida - Wild Ones ft_ Sia.mp3
../New 2012/Florida Georgia Line - Cruise.mp3
../New 2012/Fun - We Are Young.mp3
2. Now you are ready to copy your music over to the android
3. Move the playlists over as well and enjoy!
4. These should automatically load in Google Play Music
a. If you have issues with this try doing a force stop
b. Clear the cache
c. Clear the storage
d. Then open Play Music again
