According to Google: http://books.google.com/help/ebooks/content.html books should be epub or pdf files. To keep the books available when offline, you need to press Menu then choose Manage ebboks and press the pin icon. This will download the ebook (if this option is available).
The books are stored inside (for me on SD): /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/volumes. In that directory, you have a lot of subdirectories. Each one of them being a book. You then might have another subdirectory in there (if you "pinned" the book), called pages where each page is stored. I don't know the format, it doesn't open with a pdf reader but I could open it with FBReader (so I assume it's in the epub format).
Now the bad news: it is not possible yet to import external ebboks into Google ebooks ! That feature could be included in a further release, as the idea has been passed to the development team, but it does not actually exists. Quite a Shame (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/books/thread?tid=356267d955de61a7&hl=en).
For the time being, I still prefer to use Alkido and FBReader (I do not arrive to choose which one to use yet) as I can import in these programs eoboks that I have (mainly in epub, some in pdf).

Google ebooks reader is mainly available in USA. It is not yet in UK, Japan or France. I guess this relies to agreements which have not be found between Google and major books companies (although I read somewhere that an agreement was found between a french book publisher and Google).
So it's a very early program, very limited (as it just works with Google system) and as such other solutions might be preferable (athough I installed the program and downloaded free ebooks to test it).
good but i prefer fb reader

Hi all!
About a year ago I'd created this Flash application at the request of a few colleagues around the office. Couple weeks back I stumbled across the source files on my home PC and thought it'd be a funny idea to tweak it into a Pocket PC friendly app that anyone could use on-the-go to create some funny office-speak.
The current version supports two "modes". One to create random or custom-crafted phrases, the other to randomly generate full sentences of corporate jargon with a rolling history that you can peruse. The phrase mode allows you to randomly swap out verbs, adjectives and nouns independently.. or to specify a custom noun of your choice.
The app uses an XML file as a word database, so you can easily add or change the pre-supplied words and phrases!
I do plan to add a few more features to it in the near future, as well as make the interface slightly more finger-friendly. It works pretty well now but the performance could use some tweaking (animations get a little choppy at times).
So, hopefully some of you can have some fun with this. Its been a riot around my office so far and a few of the guys have put it on their phones to fool around with in meetings
Install is easy, open the zip file, copy folder to device, run SWF file. Flash Lite 2.1 is the only requirement. It should support all standard resolution configurations (elements should reposition themselves based on screen size/orientation) as well as both touch and non-touch screen devices.
If anyone has any issues running it, please let me know and I will try to fix it
Oh yeah, you can run this in a regular Flash player on your desktop as well in case anyone wants to fire it up there instead.
This, sir, is going straight to my device. thanks for the great app.
I love it! Great work
Thanks guys Much appreciated!
Haha... this is cool. Downloading now....
My friend, I just tried this and it rocks! I can't wait for the next staff meeting! I'll be getting a nice raise very soon...Thanks!

hey guys,
I'm trying to add some new friends from Facebook by my HD2, but I can't search any new friends!! ;(
However, it works on IPhone but why not windows phone.
Anyone know about these?
Let me know Please
Thank u in advance
anyone can help??
You've not given us enough information to help you.
How are you trying to add friends? How do you expect it to work, and in what way does it not?
Incidentally, silly comments like "it works on my iPhone" will get you nothing other than silly comments like "use your iPhone then".

Thanks John,
Well, i go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search, however, there is no other results come out apart from the person which i have added.
But my friend show me on his IPhone, once he input the name and then click search, there are numbers of results come out even he didn't add.
Did i make it a bit clear now??
Very Sorry if i confuse you guys, because English is not my first language
I have had this problem before on my TP2, it will search for people in my friends but not people I do not know.
Never managed to get to the bottom of why this happens, Sorry.
As far as I'm aware, the search function is for searching within your friends, not for searching for new friends. I don't think you can do that with the application.
The application is not meant to be a replacement for the facebook website, but rather a sort of middleware app that gets information from the site for you, and allows you to do some minor updates.
You'll still need to use the main site to do lots of things.
If it helps, you can use http://m.facebook.com/ on the phone to get the mobile version, which is a lot lighter than the full version and doesn't use any ajax or flash (which would slow the browser down considerably!)
Hope this helps

Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.
Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this
i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-yomomedia.html
BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....
More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!
If your like me one of the few features that I've been jealous of on the iphone and droids ( booo) is integrated youtube. When they receive a youtube link via text or email it opens up their youtube player. Not the web browsers.
It took a while for me to get it working right but now we have it too!!!!
Check out my post on ppcgeeks

Works perfect! The speed could be faster, but I guess that's a HTC Youtube issue, because this C++ program is very small! Would you mind if I cook this into my roms?
Thanks for your great work!
Very nice!
You posted this on ppcgeeks:
Actually even if you dont have the htc youtube app you can benefit from this app. Whenever you click on a youtube link it will open the mobile version of youtube in your browser. In other words if your receive a link http://www.youtube.com/watch........... it will convert then open the link Http://m.youtube.com/watch...........
Is it possible to play this link in youtube without converting it to the mobile version of youtube? Because a lot of video's are blocked in m.youtube so you can't watch it on your mobile. They work if I play them in the brower with the normal link.

Please Clarify, I'm not sure what you mean. What I meant was for those without the HTC youtube app, they can still benefit from the app that I made. Because in order to play youtube videos via RTSP ( core player or streaming media player ) you have to open up the mobile youtube website and this app does that automatically when it detects that you dont have the youtube player

By the time the youtube app starts my app has already closed and is not! running in the backround, so the slowdown is all HTC's fault
I have no idea what it means to "cook away", but from the another part of your question I understood that I'm welcome to cook it xD
I have a link to my rom thread in my signature, so you're welcome to look into it.
Again, many thanks for that genius program.

Hey Jackos
I think we might have had a translation issue, when I said "Cook Away!!" I meant that you're more the welcome to cook it into your rom. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I only ask that you give me a mention in your roms thread. Good Luck, thanks for taking the time to bless us with your ROMS
Haven't tested this yet but I'm going to test this today. If this works, it'll revolutionize how we experience Youtube on our devices. I'm sick of Opera trying to open the videos by itself and then failing miserably.

An email with a youtube link opens up the youtube player which is great. But, other html links do nothing. Your program may not play well with jzbrowser mortsript which when an email html hyperlink is clicked allows selection among multiple browsers and then places the clicked link into the browser's url go textbox.
Can you modify your program to work with jzbrowser mortscript app?
Thanks.

Yeah, and it's not just that. I don't think it would make since for me to register with a message board when I'm just going there to get one app. I'd probably never return to that site unless there was someting there that I needed.

So, I'm writing a new book. One thing I hate to do is write it by hand and then convert it back into a digital form. So I'm looking forward to writing it onto my phone (Desire) , because I carry it around everywhere and you never know when inspiration might fill you up. Any good apps ? Currently I'm using colornote (An awesome App!) But something else with some extra stuff like with additional formatting options, features to insert images, etc. would be great. Could use some help from you guys. Thanks.
