Is this a plugin problem?

Never had the android browser open a PDF within the browser. You'll need an app for PDFs as far as I know.
Its for my school online class it won't download then PDF at all its irritating.

My wife pointed that out to me as well. I have the full version of Documents to Go and it downloads the file only. To open it I still have to tap on the notification icon. It's a bit annoying but maybe I'm just missing the option to open the document with D2G automatically. I really hope the software gets ported to tablet format soon!

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.
Which is the best office suite for android
documents to go or office suite 6 ( or any other app) ?
Using Arc S with official ICS
Office Suite Pro 6 from MobiSystems is REALLY good...
It was recently on offer for 69p, but it's well worth the proper asking price.
Try kingsoft. I find that awesome..
And it is completely free.

I use kingsoft office. Removed the default office suite that comes pre-installed. So far so good as I only use it for read only purpose.

I mostly receive pdf files. Best app for pdf review is docs to go.

You can also check out CloudOn, it uses MS Office over the internet. Great if you need all the features etc. It also auto syncs with your dropbox, box and google drive accounts
Try smartoffice.
I'd go with Quickoffice.

Have tried QuickOffice and Documents To Go, I believe DTG is better.
I believe that all of them are going quite the same job u just need to find the interfaceu like
So far I've only tried OfficeSuite, but most of the interfaces are the same.
And to be honest, it is so difficult to work with phones on them, since you don't have all the tools you'll get on a computer.
Either way for small editing or checking some files, OfficeSuite will do the work.
Hey Guys,
Quick question... Is there any app that allows me to pull PDF's directly from my dropbox account, annotate them and when I exit it re- uploads it to dropbox automatically. I tried using RepliGo but not very satisfied with the annotating part of it and not having palm recognition makes annotating a pain!
Thanks in advance

Ezpdf will do this automatically. Use the Dropbox app to open the pdf, select ezpdf as the program to open it, edit, save, and it will update in dropbox automatically. Try it.

do you have issues with ezpdf crashing though? it happens all the time to me ussually following a highlight or pen note. Then it backs me out to dropbox and shows a new "confilicted copy". my other issue is the pen is very slow which gets annoying.

Use ezpdf in concert with dropbox sync or foldersync. Either one of the latter program will sync a folder on your memory card with one on the cloud server. Have one folder for all your pdf's and you're basically done. I chose to set foldersync to manual sync because you might get errors if it syncs while you're editing a pdf.

I have the same problem it force closes on me while highlighting and it is much slower than I remember it on my old note 10.1. Not sure if it is because it is not optimized for android 4.3 for our device or what?
Hello, I've been using Polaris office for more than a year on both my note 2 and note 10.1. It has crashed on me many times and lost a lot of work coz of that. Is there any other app which is capable of drawing on ppt? Really appreciate thanks!*
As a student I do a lot of annotations. For pdf I use ezpdf works really well except some unintuitive features. For word doc I use Polaris.

Try kingsoft, or officesuite

Thanks, but I've both, they claim to allow free hand drawing but I am unable to find the function. Kingsoft version 5.8 and officesuite 7.3.1510. Am I missing something?

I think Polaris is the only one that actually allows good annotation on ppt although the eraser kind of sucks.
I've found that any ppt with the file ".pptx" will cause EXTREMELY LONG SAVING and sometimes, just crash with the reason of not enough memory or something.
So what I've been doing for class is downloading the pptx to my computer and converting it to Word document 2003-07 so it would have a ".ppt" file. Any amount of handwriting I do to the .ppt file gets save very quick and stays. The ppt I use usually have 80+ slides.
Is this how you've been doing it with polaris? I also have quickoffice and officesuite in my tablet just for multiple viewing of ppts but none really allows me to annotate other than polaris.
Yes exactly my sentiments. I faced the problem of taking very long to save and sometimes crashing, but did not notice if it was pptx. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try! The eraser really sucks lol. I tried the Polaris version 5.0 but doesn't work well with note 10.1. Guess I have to stick to Polaris then.

Microsoft does have an office for android app. I'm not sure what if any features it has for powerpoint or if it's any better than any other app just because it's from Microsoft, but it might be worth checking out if you haven't already. I believe you need to have a qualifying subscription to office 365 to use it though. I think you can setup a trial subscription if you don't have one. Since you are a student I believe you can get a 4 your subscription for $80 that will give you the full office suite on up to 5 computers plus mobile devices so definitely an option if you find that the app is useful.
I've tried it, Ms office for android would never be any good because it would be against their interest by provide true productivity on android instead of Windows tablet.

And do you need to keep the ppt format? If not you could print it in pdf format and manipulate it with SNote, ezPdf or RepliGo, for example.
