Reading books/novels on the Xoom ?.

Just wondered if anyone was using their Xoom for reading ?. I have a kindle but it would nice if I was able to sell it and use the transformer for my main reading device.
I guess the screen wouldn't be ideal for the eyes but the plus point would be that you could use it to read at night without the need of a light. Also the interface is nicer than the kindle, but the weight is substantially more.
Any thought's ?

The Xoom works fine as an eReader....
Look at this thread for more info...

Yup using the kindle app to read my books. Had to use calibre to convert epubs to mobi.
It's pretty good for reading and it doesn't tire my eyes at all. Can't say about reading it in the dark because I usually leave the lights on when I'm reading in bed.

google books is great. Even if you read at night there is an option for that as well as you can change the brightntness or even make it white words on black backround

barnes and noble Nook app for android works great.
you can get it from the market, it is tablet optimised now. You can import your epub library, has night mode, 3d page turning, etc etc.

Great thanks, I'm hoping these various book apps incorporate the landscape 2-page style google books has adopted.

yep it does well on my xoom,
but i prefer reading on my 1st generation galaxy tab

I have no frame of reference for any other eReaders, but I use my Xoom quite a bit for reading. I've used the Nook and Kindle apps and Google Books, and they all work very well.

The Nook app has the 2-page landscape mode. It is my prefered app for reading on my tablet. I prefer Aldiko on my EVO 4g though.

The nook app isn't available for me. Any chance you could backup the apk and upload it ?.

Anyone that uses Aldiko get force closes when you switch from portrait to landscape and vice versa? Every time I switch position it force closes.

Yes, that's recent though...maybe since 3.1.

The XOOM has made it fun for me to read again. I totally love the Kindle app that works on the XOOM. I had gotten terribly lazy over the years about reading. Add to that, I almost have to read regularly because of my profession and the need to stay current in technology. But the XOOM has changed my attitude on everything. I've been buying and reading manuals left and right. The nice added benefit being that when I'm perhaps testing out a new process on the server, I take my XOOM with me and I can open to the proper section of the book on my XOOM. No need for carrying a bulky manual or pages of copies of extracts. I keep my entire System Administration library on my XOOM now and it's handy as all get out.
I have only one request. If the creators can add a feature so that pdf files can be imported into Kindle, I think I'll be in heaven. Some of my training materials do not come in Kindle format, but I would prefer to keep all my reading references and manuals in one place. Once pdfs can be imported, the manuals that aren't available in the Kindle store now can be on my Kindle anyway.
Sure just an e-reader may have been nice - even cute. However, to combine the resourcefulness of an e-reader with the power of a computer with extensive memory and plenty of apps that it will work in conjunction with and you have given me one seriously awesome tool. I can't fathom how tech people got along with tablets before this. Keep up the good work folks
Everybody keep on XOOMin'

How did you sideload your books into the app?

I don't really like the nook app because it doesn't show the covers of my side loaded books in the library. I think this has been a problem on nook for many people.

Kindle only recognizes mobi format for ebooks. So you have to convert your ebooks to mobi using some software like calibre. You sideload them by copying them into the kindle folder inside the xoom internal memory.
Sometimes you need to restart the zoom for the kindle app to detect the books.

+1 for the nook app. You can import epub books easily and the brightness goes way down for reading at night. I am currently reading 1984, I started it on my phone but I couldn't get into it until I got the Xoom.

My favorite reading app so far is moon+ reader as its very comprehensive and I can log into to my calibre server and download books when I want. If they add a 2-page landscape mode it'll be perfect imo.

RepliGo is great for reading PDFs. It does a very good job with image-intensive magazines. It's very fast.

I think of the big three (Kindle app, Nook app, and Google Books) that Google Books and the Nook app are the more polished of the three, though the Kindle has the largest store. Whenever I learn of a book I want to purchase, I always check Google Books first, but to be honest, it rarely has what I'm looking for. I usually cringe and go make my purchase on Amazon.
All that aside, I think the Xoom makes a great e-reader. I actually prefer reading on LCD than Eink, because the light from the screen helps to keep me awake when I read in bed. The biggest problem with the Xoom? It's just a tad heavy. My wife has a Kindle, and it's a feather in comparison.

[Q] A500 Has Horrible PDF performance. Any solutions?

Viewing PDFs on the A500 would seem to be a proper use of the tablet and the Tegra2 processor should provide a lag-free experience but in my opinion, the ability of the A500 to display PDFs is severely lacking.
Reading just about any PDF other than those that are text only will start off good but, after reading 20 pages or so, the change to the next page will begin to lag and basically freeze or display the page in an unresolved state (blurry) until it finally pops in to focus. This can take 10-15 seconds or more sometimes.
The only solution is to reboot.
I've been reading several magazines and it happens on all of them from Maximum PC, Scientific American, etc. Note that all the magazines I read are my own personal subscriptions or are archives as provided by the vendor in PDF format so these are not warez copies.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat, Documents to Go, Quickoffice, and the LumiReader. All perform poorly so it's got to be the hardware. These PDFs display quickly on my main PC.
Does everyone see this crappy PDF performance or have a solution?

Can you upload a troublesome .PDF for others to test.

I currently use ezPDF reader (I think it was one of those 10-cent sale deals in the Market). It does great even on complicated PDFs. That being said, I've never had any problem with Docs2Go either.
One of the first things I do when I buy something that's semi-complicated/sophisticated is see if there's a manual for it in PDF format, and then I have it on my tablet for future reference. I used to do the same with my phone, and prior to that with my Palm PDA. It wasn't until this tablet that it was remotely reasonable to read some of those manuals, as they're pretty complicated with text, graphics, diagrams, screenshots, etc. One or two are almost 400 pages long each.
I'm willing to try any "problem" PDF on ezPDF reader. Just link to it somewhere and I'll let you know.

I too agree with the above poster: ezPDF is plenty fast and it works when nothing else does. Perhaps it's worth trying?

I use the A500 daily to show clients catalogs showing products from heavy graphics PDF files using EzPDF. Never a problemn nor any perception of lag.
I properly index and bookmark my files and after the customers do some viewing on their own the reaction is usually "cool, where do I get one of these"... Sure beats fumbling through paper.

I have a lot of schematics/service manuals in PDF form on my tablet and have never had a problem with viewing them with Docs2Go. I will admit that usually I just read the relevant pages I need and don't ever read more than 20 or so, that may be why I don't have any issues. I'll try to flip through some of my thicker manuals and see if it starts to hang with me.

Common problematic PDFs are, for example, CPU Magazine or Maximum PC here:
http://www.computerpoweruser.com/DigitalIssues/ComputerPowerUser/CP____1202__/ Unfortunately, you have to load this display page first then click the download arrow on the left side.
http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC_2011_11-web.pdf This is a direct link to the PDF.
Feel free to browse to those pages manually if you don't want to simply click on a link in a posting!
Either of those will start off good but, by page 20 or so, they really start to lag and make reading the second half of the magazine a chore.
I'll take a look at ezPDF and see how it does. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've pretty slick performance with Adobe Reader. Is your PDF non-standard?

I downloaded the Maximum PC pdf from your link.....Tested in lumiread, Officesuite,
PDF to Go and QuickOffice Pro....
Not seeing the lag your getting ....Ive went page by page and worst case --only takes maybe 2-3 seconds to load a full page ad on any of the readers. Tried it in both landscape and portrait using full screen and zoom...
If you haven't tried it....reboot your machine and test it again.
Another thought is if you have them stored on a sd card or usb stick that is faulty may be causing a problem.
Also I found that if I up the CPU to 1400MHz from the stock 1000MHz it does seem to speed load time for each page.
I'm on a stock 3.2.1 rooted rom with a custom kernel for over-clocking when needed.

Using ezPDF I scrolled/paged all the way through page 60 of Maximum PC with no real significant lag. Going through the full page images in the NAS reviews was the slowest, but that only meant it would take a full second to load the page, which I wouldn't call that lag as it would've likely taken longer if viewing the same on a web page.
I would try ezPDF, and if you still get lag then there's something wrong with your tablet. I'm currently running a rooted but otherwise stock HC 3.2.1 ROM. I did remove some bloat apps myself, but I'm running the stock kernel so it's not overclocked.

Ive been pdf reading on the iconia a500 for some time now, using lumiread, adobe and ezpdf and even the document reader for ICS and no lag here.
I'm thinking there is a rogue process slowing ur sys over time. Factory reset ur sys, run all the official updates (if ur rooted, used the rooted official updates not the custom ones)
Then install just your pdf apps and try reading, see what happens, if it runs lag free, start reinstalling your apps, with the most essential ones first and keep and eye open for performance degradation.

I just downloaded your trouble PDF but I had no difficulty at all. It have to agree that it is most likely a software issue. Are you rooted? If so you may want to do a dirty flash (install your ROM again without wiping data or cache). It may be a ROM bug too, but then the devs would likely have a lot of people submitting the same issue. However, if its an app conflict a dirty flash probably won't fix it.

RepliGo Reader is also great for PDF. It even let you full screen your PDF.

I've had no trouble at all with adobe PDF reader. It loads up my textbooks which are usually over 500 pages without any sort of problem.
I can scroll through them or search to find whatever I need and its always smooth.
I'm using the stock ota 3.2.1 w/out root.
The A500 is perfect. In my opinion

Just tested with Doc's to Go Paid. Playboy with Lutzy Lo-pans. Works fine, although wanted to bail out with the "viewing her pics". I think my tab has better standards. Da_n she's ugly.....
I think you need to re-do your tab. Or think about what other apps you might have running in processes. Seems like you may have some memory hogs.

I purchased an original iPad for my son and an iPad2 for my daughter. Getting those two iCraps to do even half of what my A500 can do has been a ridiculous chore, and I'm a career network engineer.
Is the iPad smoother in some circumstances? Sure. But it better be -- it's at least 2x the price and it's not like you can change anything (mod, ROM, tweak, etc.) if you don't like the performance.
No thanks! I'll happily keep my A500.

Fastest Reader?

I've tried Mantano, Cool Reader, Moon Reader, and FBReader. All seem sluggish on page turning when compared to B&N's stock reader and its 6-page refresh. For all readers, I turned off page animations.
Can anyone recommend a reader that can meet or beat B&N's page turning speed?

Do you mean you read fast, so the page turning sluggishness holds you?

In coolreader you can set the number of pages before full refresh as well as the quality of refresh. So change screen update mode to fast and full screen update interval to 6 or more.

Studies show that reading on a device is slower than reading a real book. Page speed is one factor.

How many pages per second (or minute) (PPS/PPM) you getting now?

Not sure, but it is just as snappy as the stock reader. In fact, I have totally replaced the stock reader with cool reader (thanks to being able to remap the intent for epubs).
I'm going to crown cool reader king of the Nook readers. The only feature it lacks is syncing.

Annotate PDFs in S-Note

I've seen a couple threads asking for PDF anootation apps and most of the suggestions have been ezpdf reader and I annotate , which don't get me wrong , are great but the are kind of limited in with the whole layers thing.
I don't if this is a known feature but snote allows you to import pdfs and jpgs and write on top of them like you would a normal snote..except now there is full palm rejection, highlighting, etc
All you did is open snote, click menu on the top right, click import, and choose pdf. Ignore me if I'm being Mr obvious but I don't think I've seen this mentioned.

The only problem that I have found is that the pdf's have to be fairly small in size otherwise s note seems to crash when trying to import them.

Along HasC's line, S Note is not exactly efficient size-wise. I want to annotate PDFs for class, but importing a 20mb PDF file turns it into an 80mb file :-/

but i have FC with pdf file of size 1.6 Mb, of pages 200+ for S note....

Works great. I've been trying to force myself to use iAnnotate since it seems theyre a Samsung partner so maybe more likely to get multiscreen utility at some point, but keep going back to EZPDF because it just works better and more logically.

Good news/bad news. Polaris handles big PDF files well. We have 4.0, the latest version. Annotation was introduced as a feature but I can't get it to work. I e-mailed them asking what's up.
Here's something cool you can do with text in PDF's in Polaris. You can send text to S-Note (or drag it from one window to another in multi-view) or copy it from a PDF in to a .docx file using the persistant clipboard.

I just imported a 178 page PDF. It took about two minutes but there weren't any issues. Are you using "import" from the S-Note home page settings drop down? Do you have 2D h/w acceleration enabled in the developer options? It screwed up the stock e-mail client for people so maybe it's affecting S-Note also.

I also had some FCs myself after attempting this. My tab in S-Note kept giving me options of what i wanted to open the pdf in - ezPDF, Polaris, Kno and one other which i can't remember - but no option for Snote. I eventually kept trying to load other ones, until it crashed twice and then it took about a minute to load 65 pages. Not sure what was causing the problem

Just make sure the radio button for the pdf you want to import is checked then click done in the upper right corner. Kinda confusing at first if your not looking for that.

I use adobe reader, it shows two pages in landscape if you want, and if you enable "force GPU render" in dev mode, it runs extremely smooth. Only one thing bad, it should have page transtitions with a great visual like Play Books, but as far as i've tested with ~30mb scanned pages pdfs, it runs extremely smooth (the only reader smooth i've found)

Is there a way to increase the amount of buffering?
I use large RPG-books and I need more than 2 pages preloaded to make things smooth.

Srry guys, i've rechecked and theres no dual page in adobe reader, i tested about 5 apps in a row and though i had found it in adobe one, but no it doesn't, my bad.
I'll try that option in ezpdf to check if performance is way better. In fact, the only application that worked properly was adobe reader, office suits were specially unresponsive. If any application would work as fluid as Play books... those page transitions are amazing
