Jul 1, 2010My mother recently indicated that she's considering being in the market for an ebook reader. However she is, bless her soul, firmly insistent on open format, DRM-free, and the ability to "really own" a book she's downloaded. She doesn't even want the potential for a Kindle-1984-type remote-wipe or an inability to move a book to another device later. (Yes, my mother has grown up to be a Free Software evangelist. I'm so proud of her. *sniff*)
Of course, she doesn't know the ebook market all that well, and frankly neither do I. She's considering the B&N Nook, but from what little I know it has the same lock-in problems as the Kindle.
So my question is, I suppose, two-fold:
1) Are there any ebook stores or services available for any device that don't treat customers are criminals waiting to happen, and use a DRM-free format without revocation ability? Are they bound to a given device, or are there any that work on an arbitrary Android device? A good ebook reader app or use of the open ePub format (for which I understand there are several readers available) is a plus here.
2) Of the various devices out there (both phone and non-phone), which make particularly good ebook readers? She has a decently large purse but it still wouldn't hold an iPad-sized device comfortably, but at the same time a 3-inch screen is not going to work for her eyes. (It barely works for mine.) What's a good device if that's your main interest? Any good/bad experiences here, or at least things to look for?
Android :: Ebook Reader With Dictionary

Android :: EBook Reader - EPub Format
Feb 5, 2010I found that Aldiko seems to be the most popular eBook app. So I downloaded it. My question is regarding the ePub format. I have a ton of books in text format already. Is it a pain to convert them to ePub? If it is, what's a good app that runs txt files and can be used as an eBook reader?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Ebook Reader With Ability To Search For Words
Aug 20, 2010I'm getting used to it very quickly one app i haven't found yet is an ebook reader that allows the reader to lookup words in a dictionary. I used to have Mobireader on my Windows Mobile which allowed me to do that and it was great, but alas it looks like it hasn't been ported to Android. I tried Aldiko because it has a similar function but you have to manually type each word which is kind of a drag. Anyone can recommend an ebook reader for my needs?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: EBook Reader WITH Offline Dictionary Lookup
May 29, 2010I've been a WM user for years, and I am tempted to change for an Android (HTC desire...), BUT... I can't find if Android will fulfil my specific needs.
I use my smartphone mainly as an ebook reader, and I read English literature, although my moher tongue is French, so I need to lookup words in the dictionary quite frequently. Since I read i places where I don't have an Internet access, I need the dictionary to be offline.
All this works perfectly well with Windows Reader on WM, and a free EN / FR issued with the reader: you tap on an unknown word, it opens the menu and you just click on "Definition..." to obtain the it (no need to re-type the word, and the lookup analyses the "morphology of the word, so that whatever the grammatical form it can be recognised)
So, my question is: is it possible to have the same features on Android in general, and the HTC desire in particular? That is:
- an ebook reader app that won't bother me with DRMs and let me read my DRM-free "home made" ebook files
- that comprises or can be used in connection with an OFFLINE EN / FR dictionary (or a simple English dictionary, it would do perfectly well, as long as it defines the word)
- and where you don't need to re-type the word you want to look up, just tap on it then launch the dictionary in 1 click
- the dictionary should be able to do some morphological analysis, i.e. if you ask for the definition of, say, "seen", it should recognise it as a form of "to see".
I have done some research, and found that there's an ebook app on Android that seems quite successful, Aldiko, and it claims that it has a dictionary lookup function, BUT from what I have seen on the web, it seems that you have although you can call the dictionary easily from the app,you have to re-type the word, so it doesn't fit my bill (besides, it's not clear whether the dictionary is offline or not).
Android :: Horizontal Scrolling With Fling Gesture - Ebook Reader
Aug 20, 2009So my application has a large amount of textual data. Up until this point I've been using forward and back buttons to navigate from section to section. I was impressed with the horizontal scrolling of the Ebook reader from Alkido that is available on the store which uses a horizontal fling gesture to flip the pages. Does anyone have any experience doing something like this? I've done it a number of ways, but none seem to be very smooth or efficient.

Sep 9, 2010There are so many good readers out there. It seems that none of them have it all. I think Laputa makes reading fun，in my opinion is the best reader on the market.
This app has changed my relationship with my phone. It is amazing, a must have for avid readers.
Download and read thousands of books right on your Android phone. Anywhere. Anytime.
The page animation is unlike any other page animation - the page actually rolls WITH your finger as you push it across the screen; other page flipping readers have a very fake looking flip compared to this ones
HTC Droid Eris :: Best Ebook Reader
May 6, 2010Company and reference materials for my work are available in various ebook formats. I currently convert to .pdb and read on a Palm. Also, I enjoy reading ebooks on my handheld, and of course the available library is nearly infinite.
Market and Google Search show a huge spectrum of android ebook readers, with varying levels of user praise and condemnation. I have tried many of them with frustrating results, and still must carry a Palm for ebook-reading. Nothing (that I have evaluated) does my whole job on the Eris.
I need something that will do the following:
.pdb, .txt, or .doc ebooks. Any ONE of these will suffice because I can convert as required. .txt would be best, I supposed, as that's the common denominator.
Auto-scroll. Must be reasonably smooth, easy to start, and variable speed. It's important to be able to control speed without too many button-pushes, perhaps with the volume rocker.
Font control. My aged eyesight requires selection of font type, size, and weight.
Images would be great but are not required.
HTC Droid Eris :: Finding - Using An Ebook Reader
Jun 7, 2010I have hundreds of books, manuals, and blocks of text information that I wish to read, but with no Eris app that "works" for me I must carry a Palm TX. The material is 100% text, no images.
My requirements are
1. Load text files
2. Adjust font size
3. Controllable scroll
4. Instructions (user guide, manual, etc.)
I've tried Laputa, Aldiko, JJReader, Wordplayer, eReader, and others - and every one of them fails on at least one of the above.
And it's critical that the app provide help in loading, storing, and accessing the files.
Price is unimportant - I really REALLY need an ebook reader!!
This Eris is on 2.1, and is not rooted.

Android :: Android Ebook Reader For First Run Books
Nov 7, 2009Anyone know of an ebook reader for Android that allows you to read books other than public domain books? On Blackberry I was able to download books from BarnesandNobel from recent best seller lists. I have found several ebook readers that support the "epub" format, but can't find anywhere that you can purchase "epub" format ebooks that are new releases. Anyone know of a bookstore where I can pick up some of these to read with these ebook readers in the Android Market?

Aug 20, 2010I'm looking at building a game for Android and I've looked around for any sort of insight into how to approach it.I've run across a few game engines for the platform and I'm wondering if any of you have had experience in using them.I worry about spending a lot of time building an app that relies heavily on a game engine, that maybe is abandoned at some point or becomes incompatible with future versions of Android. However, some of the "out of the box" functionality appears to be nice to have.Just curious to hear if any of you have looked into this at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Way To Get Physics Engines For Phone?
Jun 23, 2009I've looked around for a physics engine that will play nicely with Android, but I've only been disappointed. In terms of performance, I had heard that jbox2d was the best bet, but (from my understanding) ever since Android SDK V1.0, the Dalvik VM's verifier has become very strict and rejects some of the key classes and refuses to run. This problem persists after using the dx tool (although I might be using the tool improperly). I know that the AndroidBox2D porting project exists to optimize jbox2d for the Android garbage collector, but the project page doesn't have any downloads and the gpl license isn't as attractive as the zlib license of the original. Does anyone have any tips for making jbox2d work in Eclipse, or have any recommendations for where I should start looking?

Oct 9, 2009I want to try any physics engine for 2D and 3D in Android. So far I have learn that JBullet and JBox2d can be used, and JBox2d is a better one among them. But there in not much available documentation available and it even uses some concepts which are not supported by Android like Applets.Even some posts in various forums suggested that there are still no ideal physics engines available for Android. Are there any plans for implementing specific physics engines for Android? Can OpenGL be used for these ? Help me out in deciding which physics engine is best suitable for Android.

Android :: Floating Menu Buttons In HTML - Regular HTML - CSS Solution
Nov 1, 2010I have heavily edited the original text and instead of the how question I am posting the code that produces the effect I wanted, namely a floating menu on top that stays fixed as I scroll whatever is in the middle with a lower menu at the bottom of the screen. Ain't life sweet - Might even work on the iPhone as well.
Why I posted was like I said in the original question. I'm fiddling with creating the initial lay out for a "mobile" application for the disabled, have tonnes of data, dictionary files, icons for the purpose etc. I want to have the app running as HTML to make it as portable as possible, i.e. make it runnable on Android, Iphone, Maemo... whatever.
I got some hints by looking at the example at http://www.quackit.com/css/codes/css_floating_menu.cfm as well as a lot of trial and error and finally minor edits by a paid freelancer.
Below you can find some crude (to put it mildly) HTML/CSS (cut the CSS part and load a style instead in the HTML's you create for cleaner code) but for now, let's look at the prototype concept.
CODE:...........
You can see the working example on your Android device or in your Android emulator http://globability.org/webapp/aaa.html
Need to get the sound working though - but nearly there :)Links to the different web based version and thoughts behind application can be found on:

Android :: 3D Engines For Development On Any Mobile Platform
Sep 29, 2009I am planning to develop a game for all of the mobile platform and have pretty much zeroed down on the concepts of the game. but the only issue I'm facing as of now is that I have no idea what would be the best libraries + 3d Engine to us to achieve the best results on the hardware on some of the upcoming mobiles. I'm talking about the iPhone 3GS, the new WinMo and Android devices with the famed Snapdragon, other processors from Samsung, ARM, Qualcomm and even Intel and AMD.as of now i plan to use the ogre libraries for now, but then what will offer portability?? This is much more of a design question rather than just coding. Any help is appreciated, others who wish to collaborate are very much welcome too. just drop me a mail.

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Using Multiple TTS Engines?
Nov 27, 2012 how to set up an android phone to use multiple text-to-speech engines without having to go to the settings to switch back and forth between them. I currently use IVONA in Anki for learning languages where IVONA's range of different voices is perfect. However, when using TTS for ebooks or RSS feeds I'd rather the CereProc's Scottish voice. While it seems you can have more than one engine active whichever you select as the default (even with "always use my settings" turned off) seems to override whatever you select in other apps. This means if IVONA is set as default and I select CereProc in FBReader it'll use IVONA or not play at all. Vice versa with Anki.
Going through all the menu settings to switch between them is ridiculous for something that should be so simple - and how you would expect it to function. Is it possible to permanently associate a particular TTS engine with a particular app ignoring whatever is set to default? Or failing that - is it possible to create a shortcut I could have on the home-screen to quickly switch between the two instead of going through all the sub-menus?
