I want to see the feature of being able to put your own PDF files into the Google Books app on the Motorola Xoom. I love the features and look of the Google Books app and I want to take some architectural reference manuals on the road with me. I have them all in PDF form and would hate to install another application to do the same thing that Google Books almost already does perfectly.

What has this got to do with Android development? This would be more suited for an email to the app creator if you wanted to post on XDA it should be in one of the app threads or general discussion in Android etc.
This has nothing to do with Android/Xoom dev.
Moved to general.

What is it... Cant find
Zinio is a magazine reading application. At the moment comes with some free magazines.
Cheers

This app is exactly what I've been looking for, lots magazines with reasonable price.
However, its very slow to navigate and zoom within a magazine. I even got a warning for "System encountered low memory" for the first time on the Xoom.
So I'm not going to buy any magazines or subscription until the app becomes more usable.
Hopefully new update is in the work.
Coming from an Ipad, I was very much looking forward to this being released. The program is ok, relatively slow as well. Sadly, the national geographic subscription I paid for will not work on honeycomb yet.

I just played with it, I was able to add my own computer using an ip address. This way you can import the books that you already own.

The "LumiRead" provides an interface to books that you can purchase. You could also download from Amazon. These are legal downloads.
You can also try Project Gutenberg for some free clasics.
free science fiction and fantasy ebooks
Free and completely legal and available in a variety of formats.
I'm too new to post links so just google these two items?
baen free library
baen free cd
Please don't flame, but usually torrents to be honest. They're the easiest to ACTUALLY find. I have all the novels I download, so it's not that bad. But all my books work with an app called iReader. No, not made for apple. Just called that. lol.
I get most of my books from Barnes and Noble. I like the nook app, and they have a free book every Friday.

I personally read more-or-less only computers- and engineering-related books myself, and those are never on sale anywhere, let alone free :/
For lighter reading I just turn to Manga Watcher
Alright, I need a pdf reader that has the same interface and effects as the 'lumiread' and smoothness of 'the pdf to go'

Another vote for the nook reader. Very fast, comfortable night mode, with independent brightness setting, which makes it nice for reading in the dark, also will sync between devices for books you buy through their store, although mostly I just load epubs from other sources.
First, I find smashwords.com great for buying ebooks, in addition to bn.com
Also if you have a collection using Calibre for your desktop PC, I wrote "Calibre Library" for Android in the Google market. It's not free but it's only $2.99. It lets you browse your Calibre or other opds source wirelessly. Real geeks can even make it work over the Internet. ;-)

I've been using Aldiko Reader for ePub-format books from Baen's site (and the CDs they toss into every 2nd or 3rd book in big series it seems) for a couple of years; it also supports PDF viewing, not sure if it works with encrypted PDF though. The other nice thing about Baen is that once you've bought an eBook, you can download it in multiple formats (I started with Windows Mobile Reader and moved to ePub with a stop at RTF along the way.)
Otherwise I've got both the Nook and Kindle apps installed.
i just download pdf format and throw it in the lumi reader folder on the sd card. that way it picks it right up and has no problems with any pdf format.

Because they hide it! tap on the bottom of the page to bring up the settings, then on "all settings" it's listed under "page theme" select night and you get night mode. They also offer sepia and butter, if the default theme isn't creamy enough for anyone.
I'm curious to see how the Google Docs (Drive) app looks on this device.
So far I've been less than impressed with editing spreadsheets via Google Docs on my Android device so far...
Anyone seen any videos of this? YouTube searches turned up nothing.
Thanks!
I hate editing Google Drive spreadsheets on my SGS2. It feels so primitive and lags very often. This is definitely an issue that I hope does not persist in Jelly Bean on the N7.

I see my thread is in the Q&A section, so I guess a 'Thanks' is owed for moving it... If you didn't move it, well then, it was already in the Q&A section ...

Works ok with bluetooth keyboard!
For me, it sucks. The desktop view through Drive is better though. But really...what can we expect from a spreadsheet on a mobile device?

This might be the wrong section but I put a few videos on my google drive and tried playing them on my N7 and I get an error message. Anybody know how I can fix this or can't it be fixed? Thanks

Rss is your key. Add a rss feeds to your website and make an rss reader for your app.

I know about RSS way...any other way?
I mean does all news app or other apps use RSS feed. Like if you take the example of this Tapatalk app of Xda developers. There are many other similar too.
Thanks

You could get the source code of the website. Every time there is something new, you could post a notification (maybe you could put a hint into it). That would mean that you needed to check it every day/hour.
Tutorial for the source code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6503574/how-to-get-html-source-code-from-url-in-android
Is there any specific reason not to use RSS? It would be more more quicker than getting source code and reading it. If you have troubles writing xml parser, there are lots of plugins available and you could use one of them.
No specific reason for not using it bro. Just searching for an alternative.
Thanks

Hi can some one please me understand somethin. There are some changes to Google play policies recently.I have notice Google pulling out some apps from the market. First there was a way2sms aided app, then a Koran drama app they just vanished from play store. Developer told that it was due to copyright policies. So can someone tell me what happens to apps that let you watch movies via putlocker, sockshare etc on android ? Ex: Dmovies
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dmovies.movies
Do you think these sort of apps will also be removed from Google play store ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
Anything can be removed from the Play Store. If the owners complain of any sort of copyright, etc it can be removed.
I see. Thanks for the info. It seems google has become too arrogant to reply to queries.BTW Google newsstand is nothing different than stealing other's news contents I was wondering if the same logic applied to them. But really collecting links to content on the web can be issue too?

Collecting links isn't stealing. That would mean all browsers are stealing content. It depends on whether you host it or not, use their names anywhere, etc.
So I infer that apps collecting and displaying Links of 3d party video hosting sites like a indexer is not be illegal in anyway.
However for the matter of Google newsstand, policy states showing content of other sites, into a webview type which is not your own is not allowed. However newsstand app shows pages from other news papers inside itself. Much like iframes. Anyways that's Google for you.
