[Q] Any good apps for reading magazines? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've subscribed to about 6-7 different magazines in the playstore and am wondering if there are any good reader apps I can use with playstore magazines.
Does moon+ or aldiko detect playstore magazines? Which would you recommend?

So there are no 3rd party apps for reading playstore magazines?

Try Zinio. There's quite a selection on there.

What is wrong with the Play Store app itself?

Nothing really, but some magazines don't allow zooming in so I was wondering if there are any 3rd party apps that had that ability. I also was hoping the page turn animation was more like Google books. Little things like that.

[Q] Kindle Fire Must Haves

Ok folks, so I rooted and got CM7 up and running on my KF.
I am coming from my evo that has cm on it, and know what works well. I was wondering if we could get some input here as to what apps people really love for their kindle.
What apps suit the Kindle more so than other devices etc?
Basically....if you have a kindle fire...what apps or games can you not live without?
Kindle app is a must have
Wunderlist task manager, Evernote(note taking app), ComicRack eComic reader, EZ PDF Reader, Sketchbook Mobile
Screen Dim is a must to reduce the screen brightness while reading.
File Expert is the perfect file explorer.
Wifi explorer pro is top notch for file transfers
DROPBOX hands down incredible

I actually prefer Box to Dropbox nowadays. The major reason is that I got a free upgrade to 50gigs.

How did you get this on your fire? I have it on my bionic but it doesn't show up in the market on my fire. Did you side load it?

Never mind. Did a titanium backup of spb on my phone, transferred it to the kindle and restored it. Changed interface to tablet and away I go!

I tried SPB Shell a while ago and had a lot of FC issues. That and it just seemed way over-priced to me.
any way to make adw ex look better? i have it and like it but the ensity hack is no where near as good as go launcher. but i dont want to use go launcher because i cant customize it the way i want
Netflix and Remote VNC Pro. I use them every day.
Don't forget KeePass for managing your passwords and credentials.
Store the KeePass database in your Dropbox folder to sync it across multiple devices.
Castle Wars is also a very fun game!
Craigslist has an app which is very useful and saves your searches and constantly updates them...very cool to keep up with steals ya na what i mean
also, i dont recommend the facebook app...it's always been very trashy from my user experience both on the phone and kf
teamviewer is also a very very useful app to access your home based computer or work based computer and email files through the net which you forgot to put in your cloud maybe
All great apps on my phone, but even better with the Kindle Fire's excellent audio and video:
Netflix, YouTube, MX Video Player, Google Maps, Google Earth, YouVersion, IP Cam Viewer, RealVNC Viewer, Unified Remote, ADW Launcher.

How did you feet Google voice to work on a kindle fire when we still lack the ability to use a mic with it? Unless of course your on a cm7 rom and not cm9. I'm on a cm9 but I can't stand cm7 for some reason

Transformers movie?

Who's 7 came with the movie?
Mine did. I wonder if it's a rental, aka once you open it, you have 24 hrs to view it, or if you downright own the movie?
Its linked onto my youtube. When I went to the site on my computer it said it was purchased
K. Thanx
I can't find it. Where did you go to find it? It won't even show up when I search for it.

Mine is a streaming copy. Tested this by disconnecting my wifi. Maybe there's a way to download it, but I rather not waste storage space on my Nexus 7.
Mine is streaming also. Just open the google movies app and it should be there.

This is what I'm looking at.

To download it, click on the pin in the lower right corner when you open Google Play Movies.
Unfortunately mine did. I did not see that movie for a reason.

Don't download it if you plan on rooting it. If you do a factory reset say goodbye to it forever.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've downloaded it and also performed 2 factory resets and the movie is still there in my GP account.
I stand corrected... on my ego shift I rented a movie and downloaded it, when I did a factory reset it wouldn't let me play the movie or stream it from YouTube

Just to clarify, you got the $25 credit but not the movie? Did you get the free magazines and music?

[Q] Using Amazon Prime

It seems they stream their videos with Flash but I guess Adobe / Google don't get along. One person from Amazon said it worked great while another person said it did not work.
But what about the books - will they work on (unrooted) the Nexus 7?
The amazon kindle app for android works just fine. Is this your question? You can also install the amazon app market on the N7 from Amazon's website.

Quick question, is Amazon Kindle app better than Google Books?
You can side load Adobe on an unrooted N7. You just have to use a browser such as Boat or Firefox.

page turning app?

Hello first time poster here
I am looking for the app that is commonly seen on the nexus 5 where some one is using an e reader app and when turning the page it actually looks as though a large is being turned. Die anyone know what the name of this app is ?
Thank you!
Google play books?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Moon Reader also does this if you enable it in settings. Nicer and more realistic than Google Play Books. Looks like iBooks.
