I've searched high and low to find some books to read on Android. I'd love to try out the technical O'Reilly ones - but they're ALL priced at more than $3. Can someone tell me of any good books that are available for free? I'm more than happy to buy - but just want to trial out a book first - I'm just afraid I'll find it really hard and awkward to read and end up not reading! So don't want to waste any money.

I have quite few books in .doc formats. All the ebook readers for android. I found don't really support .doc. The most of them don't support anything other than this new for me "epub" format. Now I can open the .docs, but would like to read them in a convenient way with the options and extras of an ebook reader software. I found something about online converter from .doc to epub, but would like to have my books accessible without pre-converting.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if there is an app that will let me read both my epub and pdf books? I know Calibre does conversions but even the Calibre website itself says that pdf is the least preferred format to convert from and I often get unreadable output. I know that I could use the native pdf reader but I was really wanting to be able to browse my books as a single collection through a single app rather than having them in multiple places. Google Editions couldn't come soon enough for me as I refuse to commit to any of the proprietary store ebook formats!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHas anyone tried the app Wordplayer from the market? It's a pretty decent e-book reader with compatible (and pretty decent) TTS capabilities. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could help me understand how to convert the ebooks and put them into a format that the TTS software could easily read from. As it is, the TTS starts reading my particular book at page 167 even though the .epub file appears complete if opened with any other software.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI downloaded and installed the Nook Android app from the Google play store. Unfortunately when I click on an ePub book, even one that I downloaded from the B&N Nook store, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 displays an error message stating that it cannot find an app to run the file. If I run Nook first, I can open files by clicking an icon in its list of books. Unfortunately that *only* lists epub books that I downloaded from Barnes & Noble, not any of my other books. (I have ePub books I bought directly from Baen, for example -- no joy.)
I'm a complete novice with the Android O/S and have no prior experience with any smartphone or tablet whatsoever. I'm quite familiar with Windows (up through 7) and several Unix/Linux flavors. Also somewhat familiar with MacOSX (but not iOS).

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone! I got my Cliq this morning, and so far I LOVE it.I am an ebook junkie, and I was wondering if there is a way to install the books I now have on my pc (and my HP Ipaq) over to my Cliq. Worst case I read 'em on the HP, (like my mobipocket books, until they come out with a reader for android!) but I'd REALLY like to move them over.

View 2 Replies View RelatedInstalled on Eris (2.1): Laputa, Aldiko, Tulip, Wordplayer
On laptop: Mobipocket, Caliber, MSWord
There's a vast amount of material in MSWord format that I wish to read on my Eris. I can save a file as .txt and put it on my SD card using Astro, etc., but Quickoffice and Tulip are the only readers able to read those files - and both are otherwise inadequate. I've never passed the Caliber IQ test. It seems to convert to epub, but none of those readers ever see the result.
There is an app called Shortcovers. in the android market. It will let you both read free books an Buy Current Best Sellers Books. The site is uses a Kobo ereader and they sell them at the Borders bookstores. I am just thrilled to finally find someplace that has an easy access to purchase current books for my little Droid.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off, if you like reading and you never thought the EVO would be a good eReader, think again. I am going crazy over here with the Kindle app. My enthusiasm for reading has been re-Kindled, sorry, couldn't resist. But, that is not why I am posting this. I do remember some of the early adopters of the Kindle telling me how they can share eBooks with X amount of people that they chose. Is that the same for the Android app? And if so, how do I share books with my wife on her EVO? I did search and did some google searches and didn't come with anything on this.

At the moment I am using the default htc email widget, however when ever I read an email from my gmail account it doesnt update the read status so it still shows as unread.
I would like one that would update the read status and possible the support for unified inbox so I can see new mail from hotmail account and gmail.

In this case 'i' is -1 meaning nothing read. Why would nothing be there if the file is there, the variable 'files' has the file as well. Do I need to do anything to the file I put into the Assets folder in get it to be readable? When I use a small text file it works. When I use a 10 meg file, it does not. (The 10 meg is a Sqlite database I need to install)
