What is the best rss reader for offline use? Previously I use Mobipocket on a Windows Mobile device. Mobipocket does not support Android.
Free Full Feed Sparse RSS Pro (by Charly Om)
It can also fetch the entire article from the feed which can be read offline.
I use pulse, it will download the headlines and a brief paragraph. Then I scroll through and star what looks interesting and when I have extra time I go back and just read the starred articles.
I like this app simply for its ability to add book marks. For some reason, other readers lacked this. (at least pdf readers).
I'd like to be able to categorize the books and pdfs I have on my tab. I can add new categories easily enough, but when I try to add books and pdfs, the application puts them under the default category and I can't for the life of me figure out how to move them elsewhere. Anyone use this app and know how to do this?
Calibre, calibre, calibre. Best program bar none for organizing, converting, categorizing e-books, and its free. Don't think there is an android app yet, but you can use it with Android devices:

Ok so I'm curious to know what everyone is using their TFP's for at uni/college or work? are you using certain apps for notes or apps for other work, such as photoshop touch ect, list your top 3 most used apps when at work or uni/college
OneNote - Note taking & syncing with OneNote on the PC at home
RepliGo Reader - viewing and editing large PDFs
DropBox - syncing files in general
Honourable mention - HY Reader - best CHM reader for my medical textbooks (I've tested all the CHM reader's on the market, HY reader is probably the simplest to use that displays all the CHM files with correct formatting)
For Work:
--> Better Terminal Emulator Pro (BTEP).
--> jTalk.
--> The built in email client.
BTEP gives me a good terminal and until recently was the only one able to support the keybindings I want (the open source Terminal Emulator can now do that). It has bash, (d)ash, busybox, and dropbear built in but generally I use it with a Debian chroot. That gives me all the local utility of my work station and our development server, while trading raw power (Dual Xeons > Tegra family) for a decent battery. I typically work using OpenSSH and tmux on my system, although any SSH client and screen on the development server would work just fine.
jTalk let's me connect to the local XMPP server and has grown into a reasonable client. Something that apps like eBuddy can't do. This saves me from running pidgin on my work station and missing IMs from co-workers, just 'cuz I use my transformer for most of my job ^_^.
The built in email client because my company uses Microsoft Exchange for the core e-mail system, and I prefer the account sync + push over polling the bloody things IMAP interface. I could also always use mutt or nail locally via that IMAP interface or the web interface in a browser, but I prefer the Android client.
Worth mentioning:
For notes: I use Flick Note and a Simplenote account but intend to replace Flick Note with a custom written client, because it's gotten to be less usable as the "Tablet" support has been introduced.
For files: I use OpenSSH's scp command and Dropbox (workstation set to only sync folders suited for work though).

I'm not using it for the uni/collogue but one of my favorite Apps and even would be in that usecasse JotterPad HD.
A great minimalistic text editor with useful features like undo/redo keyboard shortcuts and a timeline for the last 10 versions of a document as well as .txt and pdf export.

I have used and like OfficeSuite Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobisystems.editor.office_registered
Splashtop HD
ES file explorer(with dropbox)
Polaris office/ezPDF
repligo reader
Quickoffice
Xspeed player (plays my lecture podcasts at 2x)

I find Mindjet to be a really great app for taking notes for classes that involve many different things that are all interconnected, which is basically all of my education courses.
Jorte is usually my go-to scheduler, but I'm liking Business Calendar more and more, especially their re-sizable and scrollable widget.
Astrid 4.0 Beta (only found here: http://blog.astrid.com/astrid-4-0-beta-tablet-ux-anyone/) is the same Astrid tasks I love, but with a tablet optimized UI! If it only had a scrollable, re-sizable widget (even in the paid Power Pack) then it would be a home run.
Uni:
1. Supernote - greatest app. Just waiting for good stylus.
2. Polaris office - best office., and built in
3. Asus webstorage - 8gb for ever ever ever
ezPDF Reader for reading and annotating PDF (especially useful since my lecture notes come in PDF)
Kingsoft Office for reading and simple editing of Office files
Dropbox for sending project files across different devices

Camera - Capturing powerpoint slides so I don't have to take notes.
Jorte - Excellent calendar widget so I can keep on top of my assignments.
Currents - Helping me keep my sanity through long boring lectures by giving me interesting things to read.
No note taking apps or office software. Taking notes on a tablet will never compare to the feeling of pen on paper. Typing notes is just a big no.
I mainly just use my dock for god tier battery life and usb/sd... although I do type the occasional project on it.
AndSMB - Android Samba client
ezPDF - probably the best PDF reader
OneNote - still in infancy, but allows me access to all my notebooks; I find it useful when talking to my colleagues, when I want to show them some results - it is easier to do it on a tablet than on my rather heavy laptop
Repligo Reader
Dropbox
Repligo reader does a better job rendering pdfs that have been converted from Word files than does ezpdf. However, Repligo Reader still has some weaknesses. For example, every stickynote created in Repligo Reader has the author property "Repligo Reader." It does not allow the actual author to set the author property!
Dropbox is great for accessing the same version of my files across my desktop machine, my laptop, my prime, and my phone.
Evernote, Dropbox, and something to use Windows Remote Desktop (splashtop, VNC, etc.)

Quick office HD is supposed to be the best office app for android, but they haven't made it compatible with the Prime yet. Other than that you could just use Polaris to make drafts.
The google cloud print is also useful for printing to network printers, but the computers on the network need to have Chrome.
There is also Blackboard mobile learn if your uni uses blackboard.
I'm mainly just using my prime for doing drafts of assignments and recording lectures when I have an early lecture and cannot fight the urge to sleep. But stuff like formulate pro and the periodic tale app would be useful too. All my lecture slides are released in PDFs so the Adobe reader is useful.
Does anyone know of a way of printing to non-wireless network printers, not using a browser?

Quick Office HD work on the Prime if you buy it from Amazon Appstore
Hi,
I started to use RSS on my Prime and I am disapointed by one thing. Maybe there is a bad settings or something... Some of my RSS are displayed in full length with pictures etc. and some has only few first rows and then I have to continue to the original article clicking the link below.
Can I set this in a different way or is it a feature of particular blogs and sites?? This is really bothering to everytime go to the original source, especially when offline reading Note: I tried several RSS readers (Reader HD, gReader, Google Reader, ...)
I have also noticed the truncated feeds on some sites, and I think this is determined by the site itself as to what to include in the feed. For example, Lifehacker seems to only include the first few sentences of the article, and then a More >> link. This seems to be the case when either viewing the feed on a computer (using Google Reader or Feedly) or on the Android RSS reader (like Reader HD).
What sites are you noticing the truncated feeds on?
I thought that it will be a problem of those sites. I watch some local (Czech) sites. Well, it is pitty and bothering this way. But probably we cannot do anything with that.
There are several services that expand truncated RSS feeds into the complete text. The one I use is fulltextrssfeed.com, and it seems to work fine.
Search for "full rss feed" to find other services.

Geat! Thank you! It works.... I hope the link generated by this site will stay there for a long time
I've searched the web quite a few times but I could never find an Android torrent app which is able to subscribe to RSS feeds and automatically download once a new item is pushed in the feed. Does anyone know of such a torrent application?
Try ttorrent Pro.
