The reader on htc desire HD is great, i love it that it comes preloaded with couple of great books but how do i add more books to it. I tried tranfering a book in pdf and epub form but it doesn't seem to load onto the reader app but i can see the pdf file in adobe reader...How do i add the epub or pdf into Reader app?
You need to log into your own Kobo or Adobe ID account, and get the books from there. There is no file import option AFAIK.
yes, epub files work.
You have to put them in the Digital Distribution folder on the SD card, they will show up in the reader once you start it

I don't have any folder called this, where is it located?
I'm sorry, i meant Digital Editions
You'll find it on the root of the SD Card, if it's not there make it.

HTC Reader ICS version?
Hi,
Does anyone have the HTC reader compatible with ICS 4.03? I tried using the old app but it malfunctions in that it stops working when trying to load a book and also loads on half a screen.
Thanks!
The adobe reader app works for the pdf files and books I use

I have some PDF files and I tried using the built-in acrobat reader to read it, but it won't on my Universal.
Any ideas why?
Any other recommended PDF file readers that support passwords?

you can try PocketXpdf it's supposed to support password protected files. and it's pretty good to boot. i tried acrobat reader but it didn't seem to perform well... Clearvue also has a newer version (v3.0.543)
Thanks very much! Works very well on the Universal.
Just getting the Vibrant from a G1 I noticed that Amazon's Kindle comes loaded on the device. If I had some ebooks installed is there a way to load these PDF files or do you recommend another alternative to using viewing ebooks?
i have not tried using pdfs with the kindle reader but the books are stored in /sdcard/kindle/ you could try sticking it there and see if it works
Put it in the dir /sdcard/kindle/ doesnt seem to be loading. Seems like it only registers pdfs/books that you have purchased from Amazon store?
Any other recommendations for a pdf viewer?
Downloaded the RFS and id love to read on the go ;p

I dont use pdfs too often so I'm not the best to answer, but I know there is an official Adobe Reader in the market
I use Aldiko for the books I can't read in kindle.
The official Adobe Reader app is a really good PDF reader in my opinion and it's free.

Same thing with Borders' eReader app. They don't allow you to read epubs or pdfs that you've copied to the phone/sd card manually. They only access your online amazon/borders library.
Aldiko is a good free epub reader.
Has anyone had any problems with their ereaders..??......I have tried multiple ereader apps such as Aldiko, Kindle, etc.......none will read any of the books I have put on the micro-sd.......I even tried converting from pdf to epub......I must be doing something wrong.......any ideas..??.......I would love to have the ereader from the Pandigital Novel, but I can't figure out how to move it over.......
What were the formats you tried?...PDF typically works fine...there are several PDF readers available...Each of these reader apps support certain formats...maybe you did not match them correctly ( meaning reader app with ebook format)...if you need a program for conversion on PC try Calibre ( freeware) ...very good ...supports magazine subscription and much more...an dthen you can move ebook in corrcet format back to Elocity ( sd card or usb)

I have both the Nook and Kindle e-readers installed from the Market and working just fine, but I have downloaded my books from their stores, not sideloaded via SD.

Even better with calibre you can run the built in web server and just download the books you want with the browser.
Personally I use FBReader for actually reading the books.

Has anyone figured out how to read books other than those bought from the Google ebook store with the Google ebook reader on the Xoom?
Kindle app? Or the kobo app?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
He's probably referring to the Google Books client that is preloaded on the device. And the answer is currently no there is no way to sideload your own stuff.

overdrive, just downloaded my books from the public library
Aldiko is working fine for me. I use it because it will sync (wirelessly) to my home Calibre content server -- both highly recommended.

What he meant was to use Google reader to read e-books that is not from google store. Because Google reader has a very nice interface + make full use of the new renderscript in Honeycomb, so please don't suggest him other e-reader app
Aldiko Book Reader
Nook eReader
VuDroid
PDF Viewer
ezPDF Reader
Kindle app
Calibre
iReader
Laputa
Kobo Reader
Please don't forget to tell us which works on xoom better.
Looking for absolute reader too...
So far my favorite is Cool Reader... but one issue I have right now is my books are on the sd card in a Xoom tablet... geez. Cool Reader cannot get to it... apparently a work in progress for Xoom SD Cards.... argh! But it reads the internal storage ok and will do many types of books (epub, fb2, doc, txt, rtf, html, chm, tcr, pdb, prc, mobi, pml formats)
I will use this one but have to wait for the SD Card to show up in it....
Actually Moon Reader is good too...
I tried Moon Reader and its pretty slick too. BUT has the same SD Card problem as Cool Reader... Cant see the SD Card in Xoom tablet...
Moon reader is my fav, all it needs is 2-page landscape mode and it'll be perfect.
If anyone has .pdf Books i highly recommend ezPDF Reader, has nice Animations and works awesome on the Xoom

Have you tried fbreader? You can browse for books via file location with it, might let you browse to the sd card to load your books.

I'm trying to decide between a Xoom and an iPad 2 predominantly because I want to read comics on it. Any thoughts around a good comic reader please for Xoom? I know Comic Zeal works well on iPad 2. Would also be interested in hearing if the delay in Android updates for UK users is a big issue. By the way, I have never used Android before but have an iphone 4. Thanks.

I have got it working on my stock xoom, just can't test the sd card yet as I am waiting for my sd card to arrive. I just know one of the options is to browse for books via file location.
EDIT: My sdcard arrived and I copied my entire ebook library onto the card, works fine with fbreader being able to load the books from the sdcard, I am running a modified version of tiamat 3.2 on my xoom now.
Hello, I am a Mac user new to Android phone. I need some advice. I got several ebook files stored under "book" within iTunes. Whenever I launch an Apple app called iBook, all the ebooks are available in one place. I have connected the Galaxy Note to my MacBook Pro using an usb cable. Where in the Note should I copy the ebook/pdf files to? Is there a specific folder to store these files? Thanks.

If you have adobe reader or any.pdf reader app installed in your device, you can just make a folder in your external/internal storage and place all your ebooks there.
Ps: launch the app and you'll see your ebooks on it.

If you have the common epub format files, you can store them in the folder associated with a epub reader. I store in the folder lumibooks, for example. Cheers!
You can import books into the Kobo reader, part of the Readers Hub. Just place the files into the kobo/spubs folder using the MyFiles app. Then should be able to import them into the app, there is a import option.

Yup, and if you install apps like Aldiko or Kobo your epub ebooks will usually be stored in the "eBooks" folder on your SD card, which will automatically be created.
If you want some other PDF or Epub readers, just search the Play Store for "PDF Reader" or "Epub".
You can also just drop the iTunes mentality from now on. You don't have to use a software to transfer your stuff. Just drag and drop the stuff over to your Note.
I use fbreader and it finds the ebooks wherever they are stored on the sd card in numerous folders

Thanks. Is the kobo/spubs folder created by default? After I clicked Readers Hub, I see a list of folders but there is no kobo. On the top left, I see /sdcard
The home screen of Readers Hub looks nice.
I am also consider ezpdf reader because it is fully compatible with S-pen, has Japanese language and annotations supported.
