Hi
Very new to all this, problem is downloaded some books for my XDA2, but microsoft reader wont reconise any of them, have activated it aswell, so tried Adobe reader this wont reconise them either, have checked the format that seems OK, done a hard reset still no joy, keeps telling me there is no application with this file, really stumped now, any help appreciated.
What type of files are you downloading, reader uses .lit files.
i have a wizard running ipl 3.08 and blackdiamond 3.1 and i've installed the official adobe pdf reader on my phone.
now whenever i try to open an ebook, the program loads and all, and gives me a notice about the viewing mode being changed to wraparound , and then it just closes. just like that, no longer running or anything, even though the software on my computer DID say that it was converting the file to a format readable on my ppc.
i've tried reading the files off the storage card, and also off the main storage with no difference, anyone know what to do about that?
no one at all?
i can't find any solution for it.

Try re-installing the adobe reader.
I have tried wiping and re-flashing the DRC83 base and the CM rom, also tried the fix_permissions script, also tried uninstalling and re-installing the Aldiko app, nothing will let me see the existing books on the SD card, and i dont want to download them again.
anyone know how to get them back?
Try this:
hook up the phone to your computer, and mount the sd card.
find the folder called eBooks.
In there you'll see subfolders for your authors, and in there you'll see subfolders again for each of the books.
Grab the .epub files and place it in your import folder (eBooks/import/)
Then in Aldiko, import the books again. They'll all be there.
You can do this through Astro, etc, but if you have a bunch of books, it's easier to do it in Windows Explorer on your computer.
thanks you just made my day god bless you
I have downloaded some files ".mobi and .epub" which I understand can be read in Kindle and Aldiko. The files are on my sd card.
Why do I get "application not available" when I try to access them?
When I opened Kindle, it wanted me to register with Amazon. I can't find any way to access the files from the Kindle app.
When I opened Aldiko, it has a couple of books in the app, but I'm not able to access my sd card for more aps.
I know I am probably doing something stupid and that is why I need someone with experience to tell me how to access the files on my sd card and read them.
I thank anyone with advice to help me out.
You can use .mobi files with fbreader only. Also .epub can be read by aldiko and moon reader+ as well fbreader.

I tried Aldiko again and was able to access my sd card and read books from there.
When I open FBreader, it basically just tells me how to access the books. Which is what I am trying to do. Maybe I need to reinstall FBreader.
Thanks for answering me.

I am pretty sure you need to register with Amazon to use Kindle app. Then put your.mobi files in /storage/kindle for the app to see it. I couldn't get Kindle app to read off SD card.
Thank you for your advice about putting the .mobi files in storage/kindle.
It worked.
And since I was already registered with Amazon, when I signed in, the mobi files were right there when Kindle opened up.
Thanks
This is my first Nook Color-> android flash. I'm having trouble loading my books back onto my Nook.
I followed a how to from android forums, setting up a 2GB uSD card to install CM7.1 using CWR:
I downloaded the rom from CM: update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip
(I cannot share the link since i just joined, but if you google: "nook color cm7 storage" and click the first link, that's the process I followed)
Installation went fine, I also added the google apps package, and can finally download apps from the general android market rather than the B&N market. I downloaded the nook app so I can load my books back on (mostly epub format). The problem is that when I run the Nook app, it says I have no SD card inserted. This is true, but I didn't need one to load books into my additional storage on the Stock Nook rom. I also have lost the USB storage mode ability I had on the stock rom.
If I go to Settings->Storage I have the following partitions:
1)Internal storage: 0.792/0.92GB
2)Additional Storage: 4.82/5.00GB
this is the /mnt/emmc drive
3)Additional Storage: unavailable
this is the /mnt/usbdisk
Again, all I'm looking to do is load books into my internal storage like I had with the original Nook Rom, and I'd like to be able to drag and drop them from my computer via USB. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If it's too complicated I may go back to the stock rom, I just wanted the option of using a better web browser and having access to more apps with full android.
on a side note, in win XP file explorer, I see two drives when my nook is connected to USB, but neither has any data, and simply tells me to insert a drive/card when I click on them
Problem Solved
I messed around a bit and finally got things working. I wasn't getting USB mode, because you need to open the tray and click on USB Connected, then you get the "Turn on USB storage" dialogue. Yes, I'm a CM7 newbie. My stock nook, and stock Nexus One do not require this step. I also went into settings->CyanogenMod->Applications and checked the "Use internal storage" box, which switches your internal and SD card names in the system (requires a reboot). I'm not sure if this last step is necessary.
As for sideloading books to read, you have to figure out where your reader app wants to have them located on your device. For the Nook app, you put them in the "Nook/MyDocuments" folder. It could not find my ePub books unless I put them there. Then they still don't show up at the normal library page, I have to go to "My Files" in the drop down menu. On a side note, I'm liking the Nook app, which has page turn animations (the stock nook reader app does not). When you enter your B&N account, it should automatically sync books you have purchased.
Next thing to try is other reader software. I installed kindle and google books, but all my books are currently ePub. I'm going to try Blio and Aldiko next.
Hope this research helps someone else out moving from Nook Color as an ereader to Nook Color as an android tablet still used as a reader.
I wondered this myself and when I was having issues with the app I uninstalled it, changed the CM7 settings to install all apps internally as to the default of "auto", rebooted and reinstalled the app and then changed the settings back and rebooted. While that fixed my problem, the app still wanted a memory card installed. The reason is this is not a tablet app and it is looking for a card because most (or at least many) phones do not have enough internal memory. Since I used a card for backup, updates, etc this was not a big deal for men.
ive tried moving the book to the MyDocuments file and still am not finding the book i have downloaded.. it is in pdf file format so would this prob be the issue? ive selected the my files icon and it shows (0) files... not for sure what all im still doing wrong to get my book to read on the Nook app
Why aren't you using the setting to use your Emmc partition as your sdcard? It's an option to in CM7.

Bmar08, I'm not sure if the nook app will read PDF files. You can use file manager to find your PDF files, then open them with your browser. I also started using the free Aldiko reader, which will read ePub and PDF files. It has a lot of nice options such as font size, brightness, background color, etc. so you may try that. Aldiko will also let you browse your directories to indicate which ones you want to include in your library!
