Reading Gifted Books on HTC Reader App - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Random, but i've got two books gifted to me on Kobo, which is linked to my HTC Reader, but i can't get them to show up..only books i BOUGHT show up. this is so stupid, if i've got a book gifted to me, it's mine, but the HTC Reader app seems to think it's not. i'm using a View, btw, but i assume it's the same on the flyer. any way around this?

Usually when the reader detects a new ebook,epub,etc, it updates the reader to include the new title. Is that happening on your view with other books?

nope, doesn't work with gifted books..
i had to do a workaround. goto kobo website, download the epub file and download the adobe reader..then goto the file where it saves the epubs, transfer that to the sd card folder called "digital editions," and then reset it and they'll show up. only thing that isn't showing up though is the cover art.

"bridge" for Flyer?

so, like the Playbook has the bridge software to sync stuff between your BB and your Playbook...
what would be the easiest way to sync all of my media on my HTC Inspire, to my Flyer?
i always have both on me, but i dont want to copy everything on my phone to my flyer.
thanks
Dropbox fills that gap for me. It's not real-time sync, but allows me to download files for viewing. Good for music storage.
Never came up with a workflow to upload revised files from an Android device, but I guess it's time to figure one out. Can't remember if the dropbox client allows uploading... Ok, just tried and it does.
i agree and would use it.. anybody here a developer and know if its possible?
it would be a lot easier texting from the flyer, at the least
There's an application on the market that uses drop box to sync text so you can text from the flyer. It's called "sync sms". It works really well and the developer looks to be planning on improving it even more.

I don't wish to use my computer. I tried and I would have to one by one upload the hundreds of pics and songs from my phone to dropbox. If I'm going to do all that I might as well copy everything on my phone SD card to another card and put in the flyer.
How about DLNA? Recommended app that would allow me to utilize that between devices?

Might be able to thru connected media if you were both on the same wifi network and your phone supported it.

[Q] Books (epub) on HTC Reader Honeycomb

I have tried to put epub on /sdcard/Digital Editions, on /sdcard/eBooks, on /sdcard/ext_sd/Digital Editions and on /sdcard/ext_sd/eBooks and nothing.
I downloaded Aldiko, but something I like from HTC Reader is the integration with Stylus. And other reader that I liked so much is Kindle, but I think this just read Kindle books right?
Does anyone succeeded in opening epubs on HTC Reader?
mine worked. try going into settings>applications>all>Reader and hit Clear Data and reboot. Power>Reboot not Power>Power Off

kindle app won't open side loaded books

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.

Rqst reader and foxxit

I just download cypher rom, but I really miss reader and pdf apps can someone compile an apk, thanks...
Load up whatever ROM had those items on it, download and install Astro file viewer (free app).
Create a backup (application backup)of the apps you want to keep, and then transfer them to your SD card.
Install on Cypher rom.
I just got reader working on my cypher rom flashed evo view.
I've attached the reader apk that I took from A Clever Name's ROM.
Simply add this to your system/app folder and restart the tablet, the reader should pop up in your applications tab.
I tried to look for the apk for the pdf reader, but since I primarily use ezpdf I couldn't find it and wasn't too worried about it.
If you can get me the name of the apk for the pdf reader I can see if it was in his ROM (or you can do that yourself)
Can I add my own books to that Reader and if so in what format. I have a couple of books here in two different formats.
This is the default reader app that comes from the stock HTC. So you use it exactly like that one and it supports the scribe fuctions and so forth.
Thank you for your prompt response

I have some epubs in a folder in my sd card, reader search and add all the compatible files. You can convert books to epub using a free app calibre
Hey guys thanks for the solution for recap, the only missing step was how to access system/app folder, just download root explorer from market (maybe anyone can suggest a free app) and paste the apk in system/app folder restart the device and you are ready to go.
Installing it was perfect. As long as your rooted, lol. To get the books to show up on your phone. A restart is required. I placed the books on my SD Card and left it there the whole day and the Reader did not pick up on them. But when I did a restart a few minutes ago an alert popped up telling me that it's importing my books and there they were on the Reader. Thanks again for the app; now to sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy reading =D

Nook for Android app

Has anyone heen able to use the nook for android app on a rooted Nook tablet? It will install and load, but it will not display any books. None of the books are DRM.

Not sure if this will help, but I run CM7 through an SD card. I have the Nook for Android App, and the books need to go on the SD->Nook->MyDocuments folder in order to show up.
The nook for android app will not work on the stock nook OS. You have to use the reader app that came with it. With that said, you can still sideload books (spun files for instance) by placing them in the appropriate directory.

When I put them in the MyDocuments folder they show up and are readable, but no title and the book cover looks like a light blue e-reader. I'm on SD CM7.

So, before you tranfer them to MyDocuments, go ahead and convert them to .epub (does not matter if they are already in epub format) using Calibre. While in Calibre, make sure you download the meta information for the book, including the cover.

To add book covers, try using Calibre on the PC to add the covers to the epub file. When I did this, they showed up when I put them on the SD card.

I've had mixed luck with that. Some of the files I converted came across beautifully, while some came across with most of the advanced features (cover art, table of contents, etc.) missing. Any ideas on what I missed?
