I have a Transformer and a Kindle. I like how quickly I can browse the web on the TF, but it is really nice to read articles and such on an eInk screen. The problem with the Kindle is the browser is much too slow. Is it a decent experience rooting the NST and browsing the web on it with or without the norefresh hack? I currently use Pulse on my Transformer for news reading and I was wondering if anyone is using it on NST and how it works.
Please can someone weigh in on an opinion like what they use on their rooted NST
It works great. You can read fine with and without. Use an rss reader.

How does it do with pdfs with diagrams and images? Is it viewable and clear? Any suggestions for pdf reading if not this one?

From my experience, using android apps like ezPDF Reader or Repligo Reader, the issue is not visibility - which is good IMO, but scrolling, which is laggy and not precise.
A wider screen of a tablet would be better for you specific purpose.
That is a deal breaker thanks

If you plan on doing a lot of PDF picture / technical manual viewing I'd get a nook color.
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!
Does anyone know a PDF reader for the NEXUS 7 that is really really fast with scrolling and pinch and zoom specifically?
Both Mantano Lite and Adobe Reader do what you are wanting very well. I have found Mantano somewhat more useful for my needs. I suggest you try both since they are free and go with what works best for you.
Mantano Premium & ezPDF Reader & Annotator are my favorite.
I second ezPDF. It's really really nice.

Strangely the Kindle app seems to work better than Adobe Reader for viewing PDFs. Though you do have to open it via an external app like Google Drive unless you send them to your Kindle email address first.
Adobe Reader is the one I trust
ezPDF reader gets my vote. Much faster then Adobe Reader.
I use qpdf because it lets me fill out PDF forms and print them. Adobe reader can do this but for some reason it won't print what I input.

you can try PocketBook reader
And what format are you using to read ebooks? Are you using some other app to get ebooks? Please share
Aldiko for Grey market epubs

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.
Just wanted to know what ya'll do on this awesome tablet.
I basically serf the web (forums, twitter, facebook etc.), play games, play some gba games using My Boy! emulator, watch movies/tv shows, read some books using Moon+ Reader, skpye, text with textplus, read some comics with ACV reader. I know, quite a bit of stuff lol
As an English major, lots of my classes have readings in PDF form. EZ PDF Reader has been a crucial app for me for school on my tf101. That will probably be my main use once school starts.

For YouTube and social apps when I'm too lazy to go to my living room and turn on my laptop.
But main purpose is to get latest android version and play with it.

I use mine mostly for watching shows (Netflix/hulu/crunchyroll) and browsing the web when I don't feel like firing up the PC.
Its also makes a great alarm clock, small external hard drive, calendar for work, and basic email checker for work for me. Heck, its almost replaced my laptop entirely.

Tapatalk, Reddit, YouTube, controlling Netflix on PS3, browsing, reading epubs, play movies/music via DLNA, Hangouts, Skype, play videos, DuoLingo (doing some of these through Miracast makes it even more cooler)
Guys there's already a thread started, the link above, that's absolutely the same thing. Why make another one and have two?

Mainly like having the latest version of Android. Also like the portability of a 7" tablet too. I've surprised myself by using this a lot more than my 10" Asus Infinity. Not just because it's new either, I prefer using a 7" tablet over a 10" for many things. Reading my magazine subscriptions are MUCH easier on my Infinity though, and I still prefer a lot of my games on my Infinity. I love that Google has made cloud storage available on a lot of games though. Makes jumping between devices MUCH easier!!
