How do you do it?
Moving them to the respective folders doesn't work.
Magazines in .pdf format move to 'Docs' while Videos move to the Gallery.
Is there even a way to do this or is it restricted only to videos/magazines bought from Amazon?
I am trying to figure this out too. I do know a few things:
Newsstand items are stored in the books folder on the kindle.
Newsstand items use the .mobi file type.
I found through torrents a magazine that was advertised as being kindle fire format. I downloaded it and dropped it into my books folder and it showed up under newsstand like it was supposed to. I then opened up the file in Calibre to try and figure out what flag needs to be checked in order for it to be recognized as a magazine but I can't for the life of me find any difference between a "book" and a "magazine".
Also, if anyone knows a program, better than Calibre, that will list out the .mobi file's properties that would help and maybe help me pick up on what I'm missing.
I am going to keep experimenting but if anyone has any idea I would truly appreciate the help. The fact that I have magazines as books is driving the OCD side of me nuts.
Bump
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
oops never mind
Someone has to know the answer to this. =)

Sorry, i wanted to originally post this in this forum, instead of the themes and applications sub forum, but i have a question for yall. I just got home, attached my phone to my computer as a disk drive (to transfer my ITUNE movie to the storage card) and when I opened the storage card, clicked the movie and Windows media player opened up, it gave my a box that said "MOVIE CANNOT BE PLAYED"....anyone have any suggestions? Should i save the movie to another place besides the storage card? Or do i need to convert the movie to a different format? If so, which one should i save it too and which program would you all recommend?
(Mods can you please close or delete my other same post in the themes and applications sub-forum)
Bump..........57 views and no ideas, surely someone has to know what i can do to transfer my ITUNES movies successfully onto the HD and view them. Or am i just not seeing or doing something correctly. I searched already, but cannot find the answer im looking for
You can't as it's got DRM type protection on it - presuming you got it from the itunes store. The only way is to get some software to remove and convert it. I've tried Tunebrite with some limited success..
Dang well i guess that answers my question then...and since i redeemed the dark knight...i guess....i am SOL lol. Thanks for the info
Okay, so here's my problem with sideloaded content, and I don't quite know what's going on here.
I have a rooted (via manual nooter) 2.1 Nook Color. I can put books on my NC via Calibre and they'll show up in the library. If I download an ePub from the web, and place them in the /sdcard/my files/books folder, they DO NOT show up.
However, if I download the books through Aldiko, and then move the EPUB FILE ONLY, not the folder, it will show up in the library although with a different cover, I'm guessing I need to do an epub to epub conversion to get that, it might just be displaying the first page.
What does Calibre do that moving the file will not? And why would it show up after Aldiko downloads it and moves it. I have a feeling there is something missing from just the ePub and I can't figure it out.
This is for the kindle noobs who are having trouble putting books on there kindle or having the books show up in docs instead of books...
Enjoy

How do I fix PDF books that show up in Doc
Convert them with calibre to mobi and make there tagged with [EBOK] then transfer to kindle with calibre and they should go from docs to books
just as it says above
I've tried this and several other methods and was never able to get ebooks to show up in the stock Kindle reader.
Works for me. Nice tutorial with pictures. I originally saw a thread in the developer section on how to do this... tho lacking pics.
It sucks that one has to convert a mobi to a mobi just to change meta data... bonus points to some one who finds a quicker way to just edit meta data.

Yeah it is annoying, took practically a whole day just to convert around 200 books to that ebok crap.

Sweet so much better now than reading PDFs. Now how to delete that Kindle Fire User's Guide
I have done the search but all I see are people talking about using their Google Play app to view magazines bought from the Google Play store. I have several magazines in PDF format that I would like to read on my Nexus 7. The problem is I have no idea where to view/read them.
I downloaded one of my free magazines from Google play (Esquire) and it looks great, but the problem is I cannot see/find it on the device when I us Airdroid to check the files on my Nexus 7.
So I uploaded a personal PDF file (magazine) to where I thought the SD card/Android/Data/Com.Google.apps.magazines/files but no dice.
Does anyone have a suggestion on if Google magazines allows you to view personal files or if not what app is best for viewing magazine PDFs?
Thanks.
Play Books can only access content from the Play Store. Other content cannot be sideloaded into it. For .pdf try Mantano, Aldiko, ezPDF, or Adobe Reader.
I prefer Mantano.
I downloaded the Kindle App since if im going to download a book, it will probably be from amazon. If you have the app downloaded, you can plug your Nexus 7 into the computer, and put the .pdf files into the folder that says kindle. Then they will show up in your kindle library, along with any other books or magazines you download from amazon
Google should rethink openness of google play
Google definitely needs to rethink their strategy involving 3rd party purchased material. if i have a magazine or book that i want to read on my nexus 7, i shouldn't have to download someone else's app to read it. I now have to go download the kindle app. That promotes amazon and takes away from google books business. We can upload mp3s to google music, why not magazines or books?
Even apple has a built in PDF reader and PDF book shelf in iBooks for your third party PDF's so I'm thinking it's very possible that eventually google will incorporate that feature.

Yes. I downloaded a few .pdf magazines to check them out.
I used a downloaded file explorer to navigate to them on the storage 'card' and opened them that way.
I have installed the kindle app but can not see the kindle folder ! where will it be ?
ok now it shows up

With Kvisoft PDF to flash magazine maker, readers can read PDF magazine in a different way: flash flip pages with flipping animation. No app is needed to install on mobile Nexus. Just convert PDF magazine to flash and upload it, then it can be viewed online on NEXUS anywhere and anytime.
PDF is too easy to copy. That is not suitable for protecting copyright. Publishers and digital magazine maker should think about a safe method to publish e-magazine. SWF flash magazine helps to protect copyright and enable better reading experience.
Moon+reader does just about every file format including PDF. It also easily integrates with drop box and Google drive. After trying all other reader programs I find moon to be the most versatile and really easy to use.

well, after several tries, finally I decide to use XFlip pro software to create view personal files or if not what app is best for viewing magazine PDFs on any mobile devices.
ezPDF Reader
I personally use ezPDF Reader for viewing magazines. I like the flipping effect. Also, Adobe Reader is pretty good and fast.
I want to create a catalog epub for my UNrooted NST.
The catalog epub will have embedded links (likely html) that, when clicked in the Nook's built-in Reader program, would open another epub in the NST library.
Each page of the catalog epub will give a little info about the book.
Question: what link must I embed in the catalog epub to jump to another book in my sideloaded NST library?
I hope something like this is possible: Sherlock Holmes
Any ideas? Anybody else tried custom programming HTML in and epub to do anything beyond jumping to different sections of a book?
Will probably not work:

The main problem seems to be that the Reader doesn't follow external links.
Put in a link for Google and it flashes but goes nowhere.
(At least that is what 5 minutes of experimenting leads me to believe.)
If it did handle links well you could just write something to handle intents for your own schema.
Then you could write A story or whatever you like.
