Google Books website has the solution, although it took some digging to find it.
Go to Settings...Applications...Manage...All
Scroll down until you see "Google Partner Setup"
Open it
"Clear Data"
reboot
You should now be able to launch Google books and see the 3 preloaded books.

Worked for me. Thanks for the info.
U.S. only perhaps?
I just factory reset my xoom to take back (to get the screen fixed) - or i would have tried this in uk...
... re set up my device anyway - done the above - and no google books... doesn't seem to work on the UK vers...
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/365897
Lothaen, I cant even install google books in the uk, market says its not available on my carrier, but it's a wifi xoom... any ideas?
Google books is only available in US.
There are ways to install it anyway, but what's the point? You can't buy any books anyway if you are not in US.
I thought it was pre-installed....
also i thought(hoped) you'd be able to add your own epub/pdf's in.
I'll have to get alkido again then

I was also interested in this and searched a little. I didn't find a way to side load anything to google books app, so I didn't see a point in trying to get it working.
But there was a thread here where was a guide how to get books working, of course i'm not sure if it will work on the European Xoom. Try to search if interested.
I'm in exactly the same position Lothaen, Books is a non-starter for us in the UK.
I am wondering though if one of our American friends with root access could backup the Books apk with Titanium and let us have it? Don't know if it's possible but worth a shot... can anyone help please?
In the meantime I'm using Nook as Aldiko keeps FCing on me.

We can use it. I have the mobile version on my phone and I can download all the free books. Also it looks pretty.

This is interesting, I searched but didn't find anything about sideloading, other then forum posts saying its impossible.
Does the UK Xoom have books under Settings> Applications?
If it is there, then a how to get it working is posted somewhere here in the forums.
Sorry I edited my earlier post as I thought I'd seen a post on sideloading but can't find it anymore.
Books isn't on by default on the UK version

Are the people accessing Google Play from a rooted kindle using an account they already use for a cell phone?
If you're going to tell me it's in search, at least tell me what settings and what exact words you used. Looked in the FAQ too.
Yes you have to sign in using google books. Install it sign in then you can delete it.
I would just install MoDaCo's GR8 6.3 ROM. It has the play store preinstalled. Upon first starting the app, it asked me for my google credentials. No problems from there on.
either use Gr8 or refer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
and yes you can use the same account i used the thread listed above.
working superb.
the advantage you get with using same id is that you can use your pre purchased apps here also.

Why aren't you installing these from the Play Store (minus Flash)?

It's just a personal preference because its easier to install all apps when I have them all in one folder, rather then always searching for them on the play store.
Got used to it because I had my phone a lot of time on service, and it was frustrating to always install everything again and again.

The ones that aren't installing are paid for apps bud, how'd you get them then? Too coincidental that the paid apps won't install, but the free ones will...
If you paid for them from the Play Store, you can hit the little magnifying glass and type in the first 3-4 letters, and it'll find the app right away, takes seconds to do. You can also log into your Google account and search/install that way.
If you got these apps without paying for them, you won't find help here for that.

I dont wanna search for all of them. Because I don't have a list in my head for which apps do I use.
I asked for help. I BOUGHT The tab. I bought most of the apps. Yes not all of them. What else do you want?
I didn't get any help, just atacks on WHY did I do it this way and not the other way. My grandma doesn't use the walking sticks even if her life would be better with them. It's a personal preference It doesn't matter why she wont use the sticks even if I cut off her legs.
If I'll ask what are those 4 gold dots on the side of the tab, I wanna know what. Not explain to you why would I use them and why not!
Now please, can we get to the point of the question?

Wow, so you don't want to just TRY going to the Play Store to install one of these paid for apps to see (called troubleshooting) if it'll install? Google keeps a list of everything you installed, Settings - My Apps - swipe over to All, there's your list.
I know you bought the tablet, no one questioned that. You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.

Thanks. That's all that I needed.
Furthermore, have you enabled "Unknown Sources" in Settings to sideload apps like you are trying to do? If not, that could be your problem as well. It could also be the the version of the apps you are trying to sideload are old and aren't supported in Android 4.x, hence the suggestion to try installing from the Play Store.
With Android 4.2 sideloaded apps are scanned, please review: this. It gives you information about what you are trying to do, and the "why" aspect of it.
So before you fly off the handle again with odd no-legged grandma references, try the above mention suggestions to see what happens. Are you rooted, or is your N7 stock?

Well U might be right about the apps being not 4.2 supported. Because some of them are old.
I'm not rooted, just stock.
Some apps are not compatible with certain devices.
It doesn't matter whether a user paid for them or not. They paid for the app. and it installed on the device they had at the time, and it worked. Nowhere is it written, that a dev has to support any devices a person buys in the future.
The app dev's, have no obligation to program the app to work on everybody;s devices, regardless whether you paid for it or not. This is the nature of programming development.
Nowhere is it said that if you buy a new device, the app you purchased last year is compatible. If somebody can prove me wrong, please tell me.
Yes, you may be able to sideload the app. Another way is to make a build.prop edit to make it compatible. This is OK, and you are welcome to do so.
What is not acceptable, is to ask for paid apk's or discuss anything related to software piracy. This is against XDA rules, and also, against the law in most countries.

Madfinger are aware of it but we haven't had any confirmation of when they will address it - I know they're very busy with supporting DT2. Best thing to do is to contact them.

I saw that WWE Network App came out for the Amazon Fire TV, has anyone attempted to sideload that apk to the ouya?
Looks like its tied to the amazon app store app, it wont launch unless you have the amazon app store installed.
UPDATED Got it to work outside of the fire tv:
Modified the apk to work on other android devices. i belive it only works on 4.2 and above (Sorry Ouya stock people)
*Updated with 1.0.1 Version*
Download Here
Hope this isnt against any forum rules. the application is free and wont work unless the person pays for WWE Network Subscription. Which i DO

I actually have another post up on the amazon fire tv forums asking for an extraction and someone was kind enough to provide the apk for me, since i 'bought' the app on the web app store despite not hacing a device able to run it and also having the amazon app store on the device, i was able to run it. i did have lots of issues and while video technically works, i was not able to pause fast forward etc only go back here is the post:
So i was able to purchase/own the wwe network app from the online amazon store despite me not technically having a device it would run on, this box can also install the amazon app store no problem, though it obviously only sees the android wwe network app and not this one..

It would login and then never actually play the video. I ended up exporting the apk from my fire stick and side loading it to my android box. I also had to install the Amazon underground app in order for the apk to work.
