When I get my GT10.1 I plan to read a lot of books. I tried it on my DHD using Aldiko, but I think the screen is to small.
I've seen the videos of the preinstalled book app, it looks sweet! Is it a Google app or Samsung?
I'm wondering what book apps would you reccomend?

It's the Google Books app. But I find myself using the Kindle app.....but I guess that because I have an amazon account.

The google books app and kindle app are both fine, but I need the ability to sideload epub files, so...
I do wish you could limit the page length in aldiko though. One full screen (in portrait) is an awful lot of text.
Aldiko lets you load ePub files from your SD card. I used Aldiko heavily on my Evo 4G but I find myself preferring the Nook app on the tablet. It loads ePubs, splits the pages in two in landscape mode & has page transitions like you see in the Books app. I haven't tried Kindle, but Kobo also lets you load ePubs.
In general I like google book and like the animation of it. However, its still very poor when it comes to functionality. You can't highlight, write note, or annotate. The app by itself remember your last location but you cant mark a page. It still needs more work to be done as i think its unfinished app. I contacted google regarding that, and they said that they are still working to improve the app as its still and i quote "a baby"
I am gonna receive my Tab 10.1 tomorrow and as you have mentioned, i will be doing lots of reading as its one of the reasons i bought the tab. For the meaintime, I think I will go with the Kindle version unless otherwise, google impvorved their ebook.
I am using Nook. Kobo is also good. But anybody know if there is any book app which has built in English dictionary ( or atleast link to an external dictionary) so if you want to know meaning of a word you just highlight and option is there for meaning/synonymous . This is helpful for people for whom English is not first language.
I've tried quite a few, and I find Montano Reader the best for me. Full anotation and highlighting, bookmarking, side loading of epubs and PDF's. I will let you read almost anything.
Asus has a nice books app mybooks I think, they extracted from the transformer Not sure if its working on other tablets yet.

I'm all about Kindle. I guess it's partly because I have a lot of books there, and don't want to switch, but I like that it's not overly animated, and I can highlight and search in google, wikipedia, and see dictionary definitions directly from the page.
Kind of blows me away that google didn't add in the functionality to highlight and perform a google search.
I have tried pretty much every reader on the market after getting my gt10.1. Nook is probably does the best job of having all the desires features (thought definitely not perfect). Kindle and google books are lacking major features (most importantly highlighting, bookmarking etc + importing non-drm files). Third party apps like cool reader, aldiko and fbreader all have great functionality, but they lack the polished UI you get from the big names. So I chose Nook, because it has the most functionality to go with its polished look. If it had custom fonts it would be near perfect for me.
I've been using the Nook app so far for my limited reading. I tried that, a well as the Kindle app, and prefer the Nook app so far. Nook seems to have more formatting options and I like the "butter" color scheme for daylight reading - it's sort in between the white and sepia settings in Kindle(both of which are available in the Book app as well).
My biggest compliant so far is that text selection can be difficult. I haven't quite figured out how to consistently make a selection so far.

Hi.
I would like to have a book reader app, supporting epub or fb2 format. The google books does not support this sadly. I like iBooks for iPad, want something similar.
What I did try:
Google Books - doesn't support local files at all
Kindle - need to create account and doesn't support fb2/epub
FBReader - best for phones, but does not support splitting text into two columns, so you can hardly read in landscape mode.
Kobo - same as Kindle
My favorite one to use is the Nook app. It supports epub files, but I'm not sure about the fb2. You do have to create an account for it but I think it is worth it. My favorite thing about it is that it has the turn page animations and you can change the color of the font and the color of the pages to make it look more like a real book. It also is quite smooth and doesn't lag that much. Hope this helps!

nook app. Its honeycomb optimized and looks great
Anyone know how to get the book covers to show if you import your own epub files on the Nook app? Its not that big of a deal, but it would look much nicer than the grey "n" that shows up. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe BN has that ability stripped on the Market version of the nook app. If you own a nook color, the stock book reader will display covers, but the market app will not. It is one of the reasons I will revert to stock on my NC (and the fact that I got the tab for other tablet uses).
An alternative is the Aldiko reader - it handles epub and shows cover thumbnails.

Yeah, but I really like the page turn animation that the nook app offers. Aldiko isn't bad, but it doesn't have the feel of a real book like Nook does. Thanks for your feedback man.
yup, sadly there is no perfect app... yet. Nook has sufficient functionality, and reasonable polish, aldiko the most functionality but lacks polish, google books is all polish and no functionality.
Try CoolReader, it supports 2 columns in landscape mode.
It's also open source, used in many e-ink readers and is highly customizable via CSS.
The only missing feature is the lights out mode for Honeycomb, but it will probably appear soon or you can always contribute a patch.

I have been trying different readers and found using Nook for my epub books works great with Calibre. I've had it installed on my pc for easy conversion and recently found there is an android app for it as well. The android app allows you to download your epub books from your pc to your device via wifi. Using the Nook app, I can download directly to My Document directory.
Aldiko on the Tab 10.1?
How does Aldiko behave under Honeycomb on the 10.1? I love Aldiko for all its features, but on my HTC Hero and Desire HD it has ridiculous amounts of lag when updating the book cover thumbnails when you are in any of the views.
On those devices, you scroll down just a few books and you see a default Aldiko cover which after a second or so updates to show the actual cover. If you scroll down more, again the same lag. But what is really annoying is that if you scroll up again to the books you just viewed, which had already shown the cover, they have reset to show the default Aldiko, so you have to wait again for it to update. Just looks so tacky, when the rest of the software is so polished.
I really don't understand why they can't update the thumbnails more smoothly, or just update them once.
Is it the same behaviour on the 10.1 or other Honeycomb devices?
That is the only thing really stopping me from getting Honeycomb over the HTC Flyer, because the Flyer's Reader UI like on all their latest phones is simply beautiful, I think it uses OpenGL so it so fluid. I do want to get the latest Android version, but I am such an avid reader I want the best possible experience...
Thanks for any advice!

I have been repeatedly peeved by publishers putting their magazines on iPad and neglecting Android tablets.
I noticed recently that the New Yorker is offering their mag on the Galaxy Tab through a application called Next Issue - you can download it directly at nextissue.com The app itself seems to have a fair number of other magazines, and have been adding more.
I installed the app, entered my existing subscriber # and it works great! Great interface that is perfect for my Flyer!
I cant find any good magazine apps that offer magazines I want to read.. and the few that do.. their apps suck/have crappy interfaces..
I really like the kindle app but there are no magazines that I want to read on it..
Scuba Diving, and video game magazines and toy magazines interest me.. yet I have never found one on any of the good readers.. nothing from amazon, nothing from kindle, nook.. etc..
I know what you mean - it is a real pain to search through different publishers that create their own crappy platforms.
According to their website, Nextssue.com is a joint venture between Condé Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corporation and Time, Inc. so this might be _the_ simplified platform that makes it easier for publishers to put their content on tablets.
The NYer app is pretty slick, the interface is a little unintuitive, but is easy to pick up. Graphics heavy magazines might be more of an issue reformatting/reflowing to a tablet. One thing that sucks on that platform is that some of the content is designed for larger screens and is not backwards compatible - like Car & Driver is only for 1280x800 tablets
How do I get the APK?
Go to nextissue .com on your tablet, and select Get App (it is not available in Google Market)

Anyone know of a good epub or pdf reader that does the paper/page animation when swiping between pages?
I tested a couple online and they either garble up my epubs or just crash or loop when loading
The stock Asus "my library" has a great page turning animation function and is good for reading epubs and PDF 's. You can select it by opening any PDF or epub in the file manager.
I also found "mantano reader" which has a great note taking ability within the epub or PDF, however it does not have a cool page turn animation. I need this function for notes at school...
Both great readers

If you're into comic reading, there is nothing better on the market than ComicRack (has a paired desktop app to for organizing and sync) it's the best one I've used (wanted to read Blackest Night & Civil War events on my Droid) none of the others worked as good as it does.

I'm still not finding the best app for organizing and annotating research papers. Any suggestions?
I have tried a few out but can't seem to find one that does what I need.
The problem of course is that the NT screen is just too small to read a comic in actual size. I imagine tablets like the iPad would be perfect for this. So I am left either zooming manually which is just an absolute pain and breaks immersion every few seconds, or squinting at a page that has been fit to my screen. The pics are fine but the text is, oftentimes too small. I cannot imagine how people read comics on phones yet I hear them talk about doing so all the time.
Anyone got a preferred app that solves some of these issues?
I dont know what comics you are reading but if you are interesting in Japanese manga(like me) i have some recommendations.
Pocketmanga,i dont know what's going on with this because it were in market as mango then they removed it and it was available in their site,then they named pocketmanga and put it back to market and now they removed it again. So search it in Google. Its probably the best.
Mangawhat, you can find it in the market

The first thing I'd recommend is trying to read in horizontal/landscape mode. I've got a PDF version of Batman: The Killing Joke and it works just fine reading like that. You only have to scroll vertical, but you don't have to squint to read the text.
If you need a good comic reading app though, everyone seems to be in love with Comic Rack. There's a free version that has ads (But only in the menus; they don't intrude on whatever you're reading.)
So give Comic Rack a try. I haven't used it since I'm not a heavy comic reader, but most people I know who have 7-inch tablets like the Nook Tab say it's just right.
I use Comis Reader Mobi, its not free, but i find it the best. I use it one my phone and tablet, the magnifier function is great for the text.
On my tablet i can read a page in portrait, using the magnifier to read the small stuff.
My opinion...
Your friendly Moderator
I have tried a good 5 or so manga(comic) viewers for the NT, and the best I've come across is the 'Droid Comic Viewer'. It doesn't connect to any manga sites for you to download and view right there, but speaking in just being a viewer, its one of the best. Should definitely give it a try.

Also, the Marvel Comics app performs well on the Nook Tablet. It has a zoom feature that pretty much does a frame by frame zoom. Of course the Marvel Comics app only works with comics downloaded from the app, but there are frequent free comics available.
You will need to search and download an APK file as its "not supported" on the Nook Tablet, but works well.

ComicRack is bad for 'right to left' comics ( like japanese... ).
in my opinion, 'komik' is best to read in NT.
It is very smooth than others and simple to use.
Manga Watcher is the best online manga reader ever (you can download to read offline of coz).
For ZIP, RAR, CBR, I think Perfect Viewer will be the best choice.

For those looking for an ebook reader and tending to use or even buy Aldiko, the following information might be of interest.
I purchased Aldiko and with change from Note 10.1 to Note 10.1 2014, pages with graphics were suddenly displayed as blank.
Some tests showed me finally, that Aldiko is yet not able to cope with the screen resolution of the Note 10.1 2014 (if run in split screen mode, the pages are displayed properly).
Unfortunately, although Aldiko knows about the problem since October and the reason since December, nothing happend. Instead support requests are simply closed without any comment, there is no answer or reaction from the support at all.
Presently, I cannot recommend Aldiko anymore. A pity as I paid for the software.
I use mantano and moored both work well and I can have books on my so card

I have MoonReader, what I missed is the direct integration of eBook stores (buying and downloading).
And what I do not understand is the fact that Aldiko knows about the problem but did not fix it and the app is still available for the Note 10.1 2014 in the app store.
I like the Mantano, the interface is nice and clean and it handles notes well other than the insistence of heavily branding exported note review sheets.
The biggest issue with Mantano is it's inability to handle pdf files. If you select text from a pdf and copy to another application or activate TTS it splits w or ds wi th l o ts of sp ace s, so it renders TTS and copy functions as useless. I wrote to Mantano as at £6.69 it's the most expensive single app I've bought, I had the following response:
" Thank you for your email. Yes we are aware of the issue that you report. It is caused by the software component (from Adobe) that we are using to parse the PDF. We are investigating fixes but we currently have nothing really satisfying. We don't let it be, we'll try to fix but it might take longer than we'd like..."
This is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned for a paid app, ezPDF can cope well with pdfs, but the interface is the equivalent of an ageing digital turd.

Thanks for the hint... now I just need to get the part working after login (I am always sent to the web site instead of showing the content of the private section inside the app).
As Aldiko still just closes all support requests without answering, I contacted Google for a refund. And I got the refund.
So, as a result people should clearly thing before buying Aldiko with regard to the support policy and the behaviour in fixing bugs.
I like iReader Pro, has no problems with everything I throw at it (epub, prc, mob), works well.
It is free on the p[lay store and has no ads that I've seen. Liked it from Gingerbread over Aldiko...
Give it a shot... Price is right...
I used to use Moon reader, but now I tend to just upload my drm free books to google play and use the play book reader. It syncs, it reads to you (with ivona voice amy, it's tolerable) and it stays in your cloud library. And it has the smoothest 3d page turn animation. I usually end up buying a Kindle ebook, use calibre plug in to dedrm in windows then convert to epub then either upload to google play on the pc, or upload it later when accessing my calibre library with the calibre companion app.
