From your browser log directly into Google books or search for Google books and go to my library it will give you several options to see your previous downloads.

Browsing history

etc. etc.

thanks for that, but it only will show books i've actually bought, nothing else, so it wont show anything there, this was a sample book only....

Where does Color Note (app) sync to on Google?

Hey everyone,
I was just curious if you use color note?
And if you do, where does it sync with google?
My phone successfully syncs and all my notes appear, but when I go to my google account or my gmail, I can't find the notes anywhere.
I know you can back up to the SD card, but it's when I sync to google I can't find them there.
i'm wanna know too
somebody....
proprietary sync
It syncs to ColorNote's servers but only uses google to authenticate/log you in. You cannot access your notes online but they claim to be working on a desktop client.

Official information :
I signed up for online sync service with Google account (Facebook account). Are my notes be synced to Google (Facebook)?
ColorNote's online sync service is not synchronized with Google (Facebook). The Google (Facebook) account is used only for authentication when signing into ColorNote. This feature lets you avoid having to create and remember a separate ID/password just for ColorNote.
I signed up for online sync service. Can I access my notes from a PC?
Currently ColorNote online sync service supports only mobile devices. We are looking into developing a web service so that you can access notes online.
I changed devices. How can I restore the notes on the new device?
You can transfer notes saved on the previous device to the new device using SD card backup or Online sync service. In particular, online sync service is recommended. Choose one method from the following four methods depending on your situation.

And millions agree with you.
ColorNote is the Best Note taker in Android,
but even though C.Note has talked about coming up with a PC Sync since 4 years back
nothing has actually happened...
So keep hoping.
none of the above responses helps. i synchronized my colornotes online and i cant find them on my gmail (where i thought it was saved to). How practically will I get my notes back now, please i really have to get them back
Color note sync
Syncing with Google drive means that when you log into your Google account on a second !mobile device you will find color note on the second device contains all your entries.
What would like to know if Google can know the password you use as I didn't need to input it in to my second device.
I use a Nexus 7 and a Motoe. I can make an entry in either device hit sync a and it appears in the other device.
Cheers
Pain in the neck!
Was this issue ever resolved?
You'd think it wouldn't be This difficult trying to transfer my notes from my old phone (Galaxy s3) to my new one (s5)
Like the OP, I tried the sync thing with my Google acct & when I looked for it, I didn't find a thing.
I also tried:
-Bump/NFC beaming & it *did* transfer the CNote app but minus any of my actual notes.
-Evernote & all *that* did was negate my CNote app! As if I'd uninstalled it.
Closest I got was getting an SD card, backing up to that, then emailing that data to myself so I could download it to my laptop (pc) & eventually put into the CNote app on the new phone. But, of course, another dead end when I opened the file, all I saw was a bunch of insane gibberish. It apparently was in Word 97-2003 ."doc" format.
I'm thinking maybe the version of CNote I had on the old phone is different from the one on the new.
Someone here in this thread said CNote is "the Best Note taker in Android." Not sure I believe that. I *do* love its simplicity & clarity, but for the users like myself who are griping here, when it comes to doing what we need it to do- it sucks. And their customer service is basically non-existent.
I'm about ready to break down & just spend 30 minutes to an hour just emailing each one to myself.
Can someone suggest an equally simple, but FAR more flexible note taking app? Thanks!
If you copy the document (backup) you sent to your email and copy that via a USB cable into your mobile phone directory (storage/emulated/0/data/colornote) or phone/data/colornote as it is shown in windows structure. Than inside Colornote (Settings/ backup) you will be able to see this backup. Click on it and view you will see all your notes.
I don't see how you can restore it but that could be related that I don't have any changes between the current version and my backup.
Hope this helps

HEY.... For all of you who are concerned about the case: How to back up and restore data in ColorNote for Android?
The following explanation helped me:
The thing is what if you’re changing phones or transferring data from one device to another? You will definitely need to back up your phone data and that, of course, includes the data that you’ve saved using ColorNote. You need to have ColorNote app in the new device and get access to it via Online Sync, and automatically it restores all of you notes that were there in the old device.
Lost in Space
I have a question since I have no idea where my personnel information is going "SERVER" is there a way to delete your information from this so called server????
My nexus tablet was stolen and my notes are locked on my surface pro. How can I unlock them on the surface pro?
Windows 10 App for Color Note
If you have a PC with Windows 10 you can download a Color Note App for access on that computer.
Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my internal backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !
The fault is the mocosoft
THE QUESTION IS : WHERE ARE THE DATAAAAAAAAAAA ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer is : colornotes is Microsoft application ( in Spanish MOCOsoft sheet industry )
AND YOUR DATA IS IN MOCOSOFT ENTERPRISE ( of corse : very very and very protected )))

Simply install ColorNotes app on your PC. Log in using your google account. All your notes are stored there. Just did it myself and it works like charm...

[Q] Add downloaded epub to Nook

Can anyone tell me how to add a downloaded epub to my account. I like to sync my books between my phone and my nook and I have a lot of books on my phone that I've either downloaded from other places or edited and they don't sync thru b&n. Does anyone know how to make this happen?

Copy/move the epub to sdcard/nook/mydocuments.
Another option is to use one of the many cloud services; dropbox Ubuntu, spideroak, etc. Set it up to sync your books folder.

I use Calibre and use the device syncing myself, but the dropbox option is a good one.
I find the the library app finds the epub files placed almost anywhere in either /media or /sdcard but the My Files/Books folder on either seems to be designed for it.
Yeah, the problem is it doesnt then sync across devices. Like from the app on my phone and my nook. I here adobe digital editions lets you sync books to your actual B&N account. So I think I'll try that sometime soon.

[Q] Enabling Play Books outside US

Not so long ago Google introduced amazing addition to Play Books - uploading your own epub and pdf files through http://play.google.com/books/uploads. However, I'm not from US and my Google Account isn't either assigned to US - I have access only to Android apps. However, when Google Music was not available in Poland, I managed to enable it on my account by logging in through US VPN, have full Google Play USA experience and enter music library. After turning off VPN, whole USA experience disappeared - music, books, movies etc. However, after entering https://play.google.com/music/, everything worked like with VPN in spite of having Polish IP. Since then I have ability to upload 20 000 music files, listen to them and use Google Music app on phone to stream. No music buying function - just uploading and listening.
Now it looks like a similar situation is with Play Books - I'm looking for a way to enable just uploading epub and pdf files without ability to buy books from Play Store. After reading about it, I immediately downloaded, installed and turned on Hotspot Shield as my VPN. Checked IP - it was US one, so I logged in to Google. And surprise - no Google Play USA experience, like then. Only apps. After manually typing http://play.google.com/books/uploads there is a note: "Sorry! Books on Google Play is not available in your country yet". I tried to create new account while being connected through VPN. It worked - I was even able to download Play Books to my Nexus 7 after pairing it with my new account (it was using Hotspot Shield too). However, after turning VPN off, my new USA account lost it's full Play Store - it showed me Polish one, with apps only. What's more, after enabling VPN again, there still were no USA Play Store.
My question is: is there an ability to enable Play Books on non-US account (for example like I did with Music) or just to enter full USA Play Store on my non-US account (for example to upload some pdf or epub and then watch if it'll work). I emphasize - I don't need ability to buy anything from Store, no matter whether it's free or not. Just uploading ebooks and reading them on my phone/tablet.
P.S. I've tried Market Enabler, Market Helper and VPNs on Nexus 7 to enter Google Play USA on my Polish account - nothing worked. As far as I know, Market enablers and other tweaks doesn't longer work. Second Google account worked for a while - that's how I downloaded Books app - but now it doesn't (still, it would be rather dumb to have two accounts - one normal and second for Books).
I second this.
I'd like to upload like 3 pdf to my account to read them on the go. I'd hate to use another reader for that.
thnaks Konpon96 for asking the question. we're in same situation here . i tried the same way like you did but no luck at all . can someone help us on this . thanks
Yeah , I tried E-mailing Google Customer Service about this but they replied and said Sorry they can't do anything about it . Which I highly doubt it , they should make it international access like those other services who can provide US content without VPN
what a waste . do we need to wait ?
hi all . i able to do it by creating new gmail address and using vpn client . i able to upload a few epub file to play books
The thing I'm curious about is why I cannot enter Google Play USA by VPN on my current account - previously it was available.

Not sure but I think Google is referring to the address you have registered with your credit card on your Google Play account.

I thought about it, but then I've had my credit card attached to Google Play... but if they're now looking on that, it may be possible to connect fake-emulated USA card - there were a site to do it, but I've forgotten it's name.

My wife, who never bind her credit card on Google Play, is able to upload pdf and epub files on the Google Books Reader just using a VPN.
---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------
Sadly those domiciliated in a country where the Play Store has not been deployed yet are far from living the promised Google experience.
I'm in the same boat as OP.
And this is also true only for my personal account where I previously enabled Google Music using proxy (year or two back). On my wife's account (GMusic not enabled) I can access Google Books web site and upload stuff without problems. I already tried changing data in the Wallet but to no avail. It's something else...
Bummer
For me it worked, using a VPN (www.getusvpn.com)
As we speak, I am uploading my book collection.

It has nothing to do with the VPN provider - I can also use this provider and it does not work. It seems they have activated an additional check and the result is somewhere stored in the user profile. If I logoff and go to play.google.com, then I have everything available - as soon as I login, I'm limited to apps...
So the big question is, what information is now additionally checked...

It works until you disconnect from VPN - after that, even if you uploaded some files, Books are still unavailable. I've created new Google Account while being connected with VPN and it fully works with USA Google Play - I managed to upload some books. Unfortunately, after disconnecting from VPN, non-US Store comes back - strange, cause that account was created "in USA". It looks like Books cannot be made available like Music, just through entering their library - they disappear as soon as you disconnect from VPN. It isn't handy way to hang around with being connected through VPN all the time. :/
Same issue here. Haven't managed to find a way past them.
I've tried removing payment details from Wallet, changing country in Accounts, and of course using a VPN (Tunnelbear). Still no go.
I really think they should at least let people use Books as a reader. I don't know but I feel people might be more inclined to start purchasing from the Books store when it's available in their country if they already have a vast majority of their pdfs/epubs available on said platform. I'm able to view my library (which consists of the Nexus 7 guidebook and some random book). Maybe they could shift the upload functionality to the "My Library"page instead, which should solve the troubles with have.
Side note, I was able to access Music without a VPN. I managed to upload my collection, but am unable to buy any Music off of the store.
Yeah I wish they made it like the Music, when you register, you can access it just fine.
:/
I have the exact same problem but i notice something, i created a new account using a VPN and if I use that account i can us the whole us playstore but if i change to my regular account its gone even thought i have the VPN activated.
how do they bing my account to my country?
Here what worked for me:
1) Create a new google account.
2) Via a US VPN sign in google books and upload your books.
3) On your phone open Play Books app and sing in as your second account. Your books should appear.
Restrict your phone to sync only Google Books from the second account.
anyone has the solution yet?
I have removed all location information in my account setting (gmail, google+, wallet, etc), but no luck
really would like to make this work

Google play books issue

I have been facing a peculiar problem with the google play books app. Everytime i open a book, after the first few seconds or so, the text minimizes to an extent that multiple pages are shown at the same time on the screen. Obviously its unreadable. I have googled the problem, but no body else seems to have it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also its the same for both my own epub books as well as books from the google play store. The funny thing is that this also happens with the scanned pages books(in the free section of google play).
Can please some one help me with this. Thank you
P.S: I use google play books on a rockchip rk3066 device

Can't login with non gmail google account into play book

Hi guys, I just created a new Google account with a mail.ru email for my phone. I successfully sign in on google play and make a purchase of some apps and books
The problem is, when I tried to read the book via Play book, it asked me to log in with my account, I choose my account on the popuo radiobutton choice but it couldn't log in, I've tried many times and still no success.
I also tried to sign in on play music and youtube, both also failed.
I believe it was not my internet connection. Please help if any of you ever had this problem before..
NOBODY knows the solution to this. I have the same problem and can't find info on it anywhere, except for other people asking the same question :'(
