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.
For those who use AutoCad it is now on the android market. Let me know how it works for the transformer.

Awesome! That would be fantastic if it works well!
My wife does some Autocad on occasion for interior design work. If she gets a project anytime soon, I could see this justifying her own tablet purchase. Which would be great, since then she'd stop stealing mine........
nice!!
It could be nice if it work, and then someone could post video og pic of it, i would but havnt got mine yet, still waiting for the shipment
Autodesk AutoCAD WS runs fine on the eee pad.
YES!!
so how is the interface of the actual app? Would you be able to do work on it or just review drawings that has already been drawn?

+1 - good question. I will be doing quite a bit of cad work as well as presentations/documents etc for my course ((aircraft engineering degree) and really want this to be a great overall unit for it.
Here's a screenshot just to give you an idea. Yes you can edit/create stuff.
I've been playing around on it on a xoom at work today. It's mostly an viewer with some basic editing options. The web interface on the autocad ws site has alot more options for editing and changing the file.
From what I've seen, you can't make new drawings, only edit existing. You can draw line, polyline, squares, and circles. You can choose colors, and select layouts. Thats basically it.
I was really hoping/expecting to see all the options that you can on the web interface. But as today's the first day its been out, its not bad start.
Where do you guys download ebooks from????(which work in the official ebook app in a500)

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.
So far I basically use this thing as a web browser, twitter reader and forum crawler.
Of course I rooted, themed, installed new kernels, bricked it, brought it back to life, and now I'm back to stock rooted.
So what else can this thing do? I bought a USB dongle thinger but I don't like watching movies on the small screen (I get headaches easy). Give me some ideas?

Have you tried alternate ROMs? If not, I'd recommend Paranoid Android. It's smooth, fast, stable, and it allows you to choose between phone, phablet, and tablet mode for every app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800268
If PA isn't your style, try Slimbean or Cyanogenmod 10.
There are a lot of ROMs out there to mess around with.

How about getting tablet mode by installing ROM Toolbox Lite and changing the DPI from 213dpi to 160dpi?
It's under Performance/build.prop.tweaks
You'll need to be rooted though.

Games, news, geocaching (tether it to your phone via bluetooth), use it as a GPS on your bike/car if you have one (I use my phone for now, and you can cache the maps before hand too, so no data connection needed), control your DSLR camera if you have one, setup an andruino system/project and use the N7 as a remote, use it as universal remote in your home (friend is doing that w his Galaxy Tab 2 7"), etc.
Imagination is the limit.

I don't know if you are into reading books, but ever since I got the N7, I've started downloading and reading ebooks (not through Google Books tho). Prior to that, the last time I actually read a fictional book was years ago. After I finish my current series, I'm thinking of downloading Wattpad.

This. I bought the 7 because messing with my phone, which is a necessity, got annoying. Building Android will definitively keep you occupied, if not completely exhausted.

I have noticed that in a number of web forums I get TERRIBLE LAG when trying to type a comment, sometimes even as much as a second between keystroke and input.
The website on which the forum resides doesn't seem to be having any lag, just typing.
Any solutions for this? Tapatalk would be ideal but so few forums I visit regularly have Tapatalk. Is there an app which loads the text box for a forum's comment section into a separate window for typing then pastes it into the web forum text box automatically? Thanks. This is really annoying.

I used to get it in chrome if you are using chrome then just use the stock browser its a problem with chrome but if you are getting it with stock browser then no clue may be some bug

My other half is very active on several forums and doesn't have this problem in either Dolphin or the stock browser. She used to on the iPad though. Any forums that you can mention in particular?
Like I said if you are using Chrome and its an issue with it and also it comes up suddenlyt
I notice it mostly in news site and political forums. I'm using Dolphin. Would really like an app that does this for me.

Will try that. I use Thumb Keyboard. I honestly think is it a lag problem with some forums in general. The same forums tend to lag on my Epic Touch too. Just slow servers. That's why an app that provides a text box for me to type in then sends it all at once to the forum text box would be awesome.
