I want to get my grandpa a NST for Christmas to read books in Russian, so I was wondering if the stock reader app supports Russian, and if not, could I root it and install aldiko without changing the launcher?

Hi, I'm using another android tablet, and i honestly cant find a good ereader app, i love the nook app, but it wont show any of the pictures embedded in the epubs i read. Is it possible to load the reading app from the stock nook on my tablet? Thanks for the help!
No it uses BN's framework to run sadly.

Try Mantano reader. I love it for reading epubs, pdfs, and I can even import my nook books and read them there.

Awesome, thanks for the quick replies!
Hey all, I'm interested in getting the Nexus 7 when it becomes available, and was wondering if anyone that has one or knows if Play Books on the Nexus 7 supports non-store downloaded epub books? I know there are some markets apps like Aldiko and others that allow you to use your own files, but I like the look of Play Books, and wanted to keep all my books in there.
I've tried searching Google and these forums, but haven't really found any solid information.
Thanks for any info.
No it does not. I use mobi format with the Kindle app instead.

And I use Nook for ePub for the same reason. Once there's a way to use Play Books as a reader app for all my books, not just Google purchased, I'll be on it for sure.

For epub I use Aldiko, combine that with tuebl.com and you're set. You can configure the in app catalog to search directly from the website.
Or try moon+ reader.

My favorite ebook reading app is Mantano Reader if you are looking for another option
It is supported now!
Support for reading your own PDF or EPUB files. You can upload the files through our website play.google.com/books/uploads, and read them on all your devices.
Refreshed design including the library, Table Of Contents view and the recommendation page at the end of books.
A confirmation dialog to prevent you from accidentally un-downloading a book.
Stability and performance improvements.

CoolReader is another good one, I have been using it forever.
It does now. You have upload the file via computer.

Epub works well. For me sometimes it couldn't get the book cover on Play Books so I used Calibre to add a cover and then uploaded it. The app is very polished.
Does anyone know if it's better for long number of pages pdfs ?

Hi,
I'm a French Candian and I lives in Quebec City. So yeah of course my main language is french and I can't seem to find any books/movie/ in French in the store
Also, I was wondering, what is the BEST type of books for a Google Nexus 7 ? I have an iPad and the best type of books is EPUB.
Thanks you
You'll find nothing in french on the play store (at least for the moment) and google Book, store everything in the cloud, so you have to buy a book from the store to be able to read it with the google app. If you have your own ebook, it won't be available in the app. You should install another ebook app. I use Aldiko and it's perfect for me, compatible with many types of files, epub, pdf, etc. There are a lot of good other apps, kobo, Kindle, moonreader, etc. Try them

I see :S
Alright and what format of ebook will be the best for an Android device? Epub? I know Pdf sucks to read book btw
Epub is great. You have more options when you read them: change font, night reading, etc.

My device is Nexus 10, currently using Adobe Reader for PDF reading, really eager for a reader with better experience. Can anybody advise？
I really liked ezPDF on my phone, don't have my n10 just yet (out for delivery today) but if it's as good on tablets as it in on phones, I'd look into that
Not very original I know but Kindle works superbly on the N10, I also have Adobe PDF reader, it's a bit bloated but works well.

One of the things I like about the Kindle reader is I can email the mobi files to my @kindle.com address, then that book is in my archive available for download and syncs across all of my devices.
I mostly use Overdrive that works with my public library.

Nook Reader. I subscribe to a number of magazines through B&N, and the Nook app is much better than Zinio. So I also use the Nook app for reading epubs. Calibre software manages it all very well.
Mantano reader is undisputed PDF and Epub champion of Android readers.
Moon is prolly the best for .chm. Still no really good reader for .djvu format
For magazines, I use Zinio - but not too excited about it, will try Nook when my subscriptions expire.
Mantano here as well. I tried a few and its the only one I found having no visual lag whatsoever when reading PDFs. Can't speak for other formats though.
I just got the kindle one a few days ago so far so good. I might try some of the other ones you guys have talked about.
