I have installed the Alfa of Android onto my touchpad and am very happy so far.The only problem i cannot seem to sort is getting books onto my kindle app.I have tried to put a folder called "kindle books" with all the mobi files in and also tried to put all the books into the kindle folder where my books are that show up in the kindle neither of these has worked.
What am i doing wrong and I can imagine its a totally simple mistake I am making as well.
Thanks

Is there an app where I can download morning news and then read them while on the train? I don't have data plan or anything. Just wifi at home.
Calibre
Ok. Here is my "solution" to reading the morning news. You might want to download an application for your computer called Calibre.(pc mac and linux versions exist) It works by downloading news feed from newspapers and online magazines. You then manually hook up tablet and transfer the digital book files it creates. Then read the books with any e-reader software. I do this daily and read the news on my sony book reader at lunch. It will work the same you just need to configure calibre to output for an android tablet. I know this can be done. I've done to transfer files to the viewsonic vpad 7.
A little more complicated but you can use the Calibre content server to download your feeds to your gTab wirelessly.
I can do this on my Kindle and all my Android devices.
I'm not positive, but I think Pulse caches RSS feeds?
I like pulse when sitting on the couch, but I've not tried it without a connection.
AP - Associate Press has a good reader on or offline.
I have it on my BlackBerry and G-Tablet.
I bought a Nook Tablet yesterday and side loaded several Chinese ePub books to it. On this Nook Tablet all I got were a bunch of 'blocks', although the table of content displayed Chinese characters fine. Does Nook Tablet support Chinese ePub? Is there any work around?
Have you tried using aldiko or fbreader? You need to sideload these apps.

Will I be able to read those ebooks and magazines ?
please reply asap as need to buy one soon.Thanks
You can add all of your own ebooks and PDF's to the Nook Tablet without doing any modifications at all.
Just connect the NT to your computer and copy all your books into /My Files/Books and the device will see them, or better yet, get Calibre to manage your books on your computer and simply connect the NT and move the books over using Calibre.

the Nook's handle PDF documents fine, but there are limits to what you can ask from a 7" screen. For me the sweet spot is epub books, which packages like calibre - E-book management can convert to just fine. PDF documents usually involve a little bit of zoom/pan for reading, which is not as smooth.
For primarily PDF reading, you might want to look at one of the 10" tablets. They won't sit in your hand as easily, but would likely render full-page PDF documents at a readable size.
Have fun,

Without stepping into the argument about PDFs again - what Ron said is true and I very much agree.

Or use Calibre to convert to epub or any other format you prefer.
Hi All,
my nook tablet is sometimes becoming unresponsive while playing mp3 files from the sd card.It only works when i restart the tablet.i have tried various music playing apps like android music,power amp,winamp,e.t.c.but i think there might be a problem either with the rooting or the sd card reader.
any suggestions?
thank you
I'm rooted with indirect from Christmas, kept the B&N stuff and have no trouble with any of the music apps you mentioned. I currently use music folder almost all the time.

I am currently using nameless-4.4.4-20140719-p4wifi-HOMEMADE rom on my galaxy tablet 10.1 Wifi model, but I am having problems finding launchers that can put ebooks like epub or mobi etc
also I noticed while looking at a kindle rom that it has access to the ivona vox_en_us_salli22i voice, which doesn't seem to be usesable under google play voices when searching for ivona I think.
I tried to install kindle launcher on a standard android system, from a apk I found while searching the web, but it seems to only not crash on bluestacks app windows based android software which I tried on my pc
the only working launcher that I could find that uses the epub files in a library or bookshelf almost style is LitRes launcher-ru.litres.launcher-1086-v1.0.86.apk
Anyone know of other ebook launchers that can work without crashing on either epubs like LitRes launcher but better more like kindle launcher
Please reply about ebook launcher free ones preferred that work on android system 4.4.4 specificly based on nameless-4.4.4-20140719-p4wifi-HOMEMADE?
also I wouldn't mind a modded ebook based rom like nameless but with launcher and software specffic to playing of ebooks, can we ask for kindle android software to included some sort of software plugin so we can use the text to speech with ivona voices on our android, since I don't think kindle is very going to support tts on android without a unofficial version , not sure such a plugin or something like that is even possible , I know by changing kindle firmware bin into a zip I can see that they included one copy of ivona voice with its system, and for some reason our android version of their kindle reader has the text to speech disabled or removed from the android versions, which is what it seems since you can see the ivona vox_en_us_salli22i voice is included with update-kindle-8.4.9_4952820 rom bin file, I don't own a kindle but its clear its based on android from the structure of their apk and files, so I have to guess that the kindle reader on a kindle device has the option to use text to speech in its reader, but they have disable it on very standard google play version of kindle reader, so people are forced to buy their kindle device instead of a android one in order to keep users wanting that feature of course I could be wrong, but I hope you somewhat get my point there, and sorry off topic but any luck finding launchers that include ebook features besides Litres launcher.
There is an actual Kindle Fire launcher here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...X8ps-7-oaeoX4SIOg&sig2=3R6MYgJT6nBKilOWBsXlPA
But for some reason, it keeps crashing until it completely renders itself useless, so I had to remove it.
