For some reason, File Manager won't recognize Kindle Books, or in my case, .mbp files.
FM tells me "There are no apps to open this file...". Which I find crazy since I have the Kindle app and it should be able to open my ebooks to Kindle.
Anyone else have this issue and found a fix?
Is this happening when you open them through the kindle app, or when trying to open them some other way?
Edit -.mpb files aren't even ebooks as far as I can tell. Mobi files are .mobi and amazon files are .azw.

You put the Mobi file in the Kindle folder, and then you open them up with your Kindle app. Sometimes, to add them to my library, I would open them up using a File Manager/Explorer. I was able to do this with my HTC Inspire before, I don't see why it won't do it on a Samsung.
I am just curious why you need to open any kindle book from file manager though.

Anytime I added .mobi files to my kindle directory, I always had to restart the phone before the Kindle app would recognize them. Once that happened, I could open app and the next book(s) would appear in the 'On Device' section.

Has anyone else heard of this program MartView? Apparently it lets you download magazines for free and read them on your computer. I'd like to transfer the files to my Nook so I can read them later. Problem is, I have downloaded the program but it won't open. I've downloaded and installed it several times. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

The program is really nice. But there doesn't seem to be an Android version as of yet. The magazines are stored in C:/My e-books but they won't open with a PDF viewer. You can however create .mart files from PDFs and other file formats. The nice thing is that it'll open PDF files and in a very nice way too.
Allow me to clarify. I have downloaded and installed it several times on my PC and it won't open. I even click on the .exe file and it won't start.

When I installed it both home and work comps the firewall asked me to allow it or block it. Maybe you're not seeing that window which would give the appearance of the program not starting.
I would also try running it as administrator.
I'll have to look again. I don't recall seeing any pop up asking for anything like that though.

the kindle app won't open the books i have on my sd card. a couple of them are prc files which the kindle app on my computer sees fine but some are mobis and even those won't open. i've tried copying them to the kindle folder in internal memory but that doesn't work either. the books i downloaded from amazon work fine.
anyone have success? if amazon is blocking sideloaded books is there another program i can use?

You can try loading them into Calibre and then sideloading from that app. There is a great tutorial on the guys site for this stuff.
why not use aldiko? should use any book you've got.
Nook is the best. Can take side loaded epubs. Just place in nook/my documents folder

The only problem with Nook, is no book cover art.
Eh? My wife's Nook Tablet has book cover art... So did her original Nook.
But try loading your other books with Calibre
well the kindle app is now recognizing books that i copy from the sd card to internal memory but i'd rather keep them on the sd card.
i got aldiko as well but haven't used it much.
I cannot seem to reliably transfer files between my Nexus S and my Prime using bluetooth. I almost always get a "Service Discovery Failed" or "Stream Closed" message. Does anyone know anything about this? Is anyone having similar problems?
Update: Upon further research, it might be because of the file type. Frigging ridiculous! It won't accept a .apk file via bluetooth. If you rename it to something else, like .zip the file is accepted. Is Google starting to implement some anti piracy nonsense?
I have lots of games I have purchased using SIM spoofing apps(Android Market does not support my country) on my Nexus S that I cannot access on my unrooted Prime. This is why I want to transfer them over from my Nexus S.
trying doing it via USB or sdcard. What I did was copied a few apks from my infuse to my home cloud drive. And then just used es file explorer from my prime to pull them back down and bad a Bing. Got them apps

That's a viable work around. But, it's tedious to do this for every new app I purchase. Anyway, the renaming file extension works but, I was just taken aback by the need for it.
I have been using androwook rom v1.5 but still can not receive apk files from other devices .. is there any solution other than changing the file extension will be accepted?
I just email the .apk to myself when I want it on another device. Never had an issue that way. Good luck
only zip files it is possible to transfer not apk
Dropbox is awesome for this, I backup apps using Astro & upload them to my Dropbox.
Comes in handy when you download a dud update like the latest YouTube app

I'm not perfectly sure, but if you have kindle installed on your tablet there should be a Kindle folder on your memory. Easy to see from the built-in file browser...
Place them in the "Kindle" folder in the SD Card, be warned that if you put 500+ in here then the Kindle App takes FOREVER to open.
Alternatively the new version of the Android Kindle app gives you an email address, you can mail .mobi files to it and they appear in your Kindle App, complete with Whisper Sync

Hmm, didn't know about that new feature with the email.
Anyways, be sure to restart your kindle app after you place them in the folder for it to show up
I manually load some .mobi books to the Kindle Folder on my Prime but when I Open my Kindle App I don't see the Books. What do I need to do?
Thanks

Never Mind. I had placed the Books in their own Sub Folder in Kindle Directory. It seems the books need to be in Main Directory not Sub Directories for the "Kindle" app to see. It interesting the "My Library" app will read from Sub Directory.
