View 6 RepliesI 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 16 Replies View RelatedI read epub on both my phone and tablet (htc sensation, soon replace by S3, and my asus TFP). It's pretty hard to find a good app for reading epub.I want to sync all my book, bookmarks, notes between my devide.I've tried:
moon reader (lot of lag when turning pages, and don't like to use dropbox, i don't have an account)
aldiko (no turning pages effect, no sync)
kobo (needs a account)
fbreader (no shelf, no syncing)
mantano (no turning pages effect, no sync)
google books (not available in France, can't import epub file)
go books (no sync)
Mantano had a service for syncing but It's really lame to having me paid just for that.So, at the end, I'm looking for an app with:
shelf
turning pages effect (optionnal)
free syncing
Smooth (lag driving me crazy)

I am trying to find a News Reader and find that most of them seem to rely on feeds from Google Reader and seem not to recognise UK based feeds (or at least I cannot find the same feeds that I used on my iPhone).

View 2 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 7 Replies View RelatedIs there any ready library to read ePub format? I found ePublib in
http://github.com/psiegman/epublib. I'm still learning how to use it. I wonder if there is ePub jar which ready to use for read ePub format in android.
I 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).
I've set set files to localhost an set the href links for the epub files.
<a href="more-utopia.epub" target="_blank"> more-utopia </a><br>
And I've try to browse from my custom web view but when I click to download the link, it appears no download and open the file in the browser with custom web view.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("http://10.0.2.2/epub");
web.setWebViewClient(new myWebView());
} class myWebView extends WebViewClient{
@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
url = "http://10.0.2.2/epub/"; view.loadUrl(url); return true;
} }
What I want to do is to download the files and want to set path the download location to user selected location.
I know that any format conversion sometimes (or most of the time) produces less than desirable results. So what are some tips for converting from text files to ePub format? For example, the best way to get chapters identified so they show up in a table of contents?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Aldiko and I'd like to purchase some books for it. I've seen some sites that sell in the epub format but they are a bit on the expensive side. I like the prices that Amazon and Barnes & Noble offer for their ebooks but I think they are in a proprietary format. I guess my question is, where is a good place to purchase epub books at a reasonable price?

looking for recommendations for a good RSS reader.
I have Newsroom on my Palm Pre, but was told I would need to purchase it again for Android.
Any good ones out there? No preference free/pay, my main preference is that it is a good program.
I use Newsroom but would be interested in one that directly sinks with Google Reader. What do you guys use?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any good pdf readers that save where you are up to in a pdf document so that you don't have to try and find the page you are up to every time you open the document. That is the one feature that the standard one is missing (unless I am just not seeing it)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf there is a useful pdf reader. i've tried one - it's great - it opens pdf's but is useless for reading as u have to scroll right and left. I would imagine that 99% of the time the pdf reader is useless! is there a pdf reader that forces all of the content to fit your screen width - similar to how they do on browsers.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI would like to sync some content in my application with google reader. I know that there are apps on the market that access google reader so I know that it can be done.
Are there any built in java apis in android to access google reader, if not, what do you think is the best approach to implementing this.
I've googled a bit on this and I have some ideas on how to implement this, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there already is a working solution available.
Two simple questions
1. What is your favorite E-Book reading app
2. Why is it your favorite?
I am going on vacation in a couple weeks and would love to take some books with me, with out having to carry books with me lol.A good library of free books is appreciated, but I am not opposed to paying a reasonable price for good books.
I have a Telus HTC Desire and I'm trying to put Barnes Noble's ereader on it. When I go to the market and search either BN reader or Nook it comes up blank...it's supposed to be there. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have the installer file?
