Yes, it works for me. I just opened it, signed in, and flipped through an issue of WebMD. Got mine from the same place.

Anyone have Zinio force close on them and then fix it somehow?

I for the life of me have not been able to get Zinio to work for me either. Press reader works fine. But I really want the magazine app since moving from stock. Would also like to know how you guys got it working.
EDIT: I think it depends on what versions you're using. I finally got it to work. Instead of installing "ReadingHub", I installed "ReadersHub" with the zinio from the link you posted. And it's working finally. Check it out. Tell me if it works for you or not.

New version from G2x posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051812
http://www.2shared.com/file/vN9kCbWw/ZinioReaderRegular.html
I installed it and can open it but can't login. I created an account at zinio.com but it still won't let me log in via this new app.
It says "Warning: Network connection is unstable, do you want to retry or use the application in off-line mode?"
The network connection is fine.
- Retry just results in the above message again.
- And off-line mode just results in "Your username or password were incorrect. Please try again."
Anyone get the G2x version working?

Better than last time, as the News app works now but the others are not lit up and clicking on them gives a "Service will be available soon".
I made sure to install all 3 apps, and even installed Zinio twice after seeing this error.
Any ideas?

A tiny bit farther now.
The Magazines app is highlighted, I can launch it, I can log in, and then it FCs. Without even pressing Force Close, the app re-launches, logs in, and FCs, continuously over and over.

I was having that same issue. Only other suggestion I have is to install both versions of readers hub and zinio. They shouldn't overwrite each other. Then try launching zinio from Readers Hub. Not Reading Hub. See if that works.

I have both versions of Reading Hub installed (two entries in my app tray) and two version of Zinio.
Unfortunately, the first still force closes immediately on tap of Zinio and the other force closes after launching Zinio and then attempting to log in.
Paul,
I just installed the new version from G2x. In the G2x thread they have also extracted a settings APK which also needs to be installed. It is contained in the second page of their thread.
I installed both APKs and it finally worked perfectly. I am using the latest nightly of CM7, and having a magazine reader makes it a perfect tablet

Thanks a bunch for that. I really had no need for ReadersHub. I use the Nook app for my books. Happy to just have the Zinio app working! Finally I can get magazines without the stock reader... Now only if we can get a "Read To Me Books" app, then I can do away with stock completely!!!
Thanks again kind sir,

This is huge guys, nice detective work, wonder if the info can be set in the OP and the title changed so more ppl looking for a mag reader catches this, I didn't know what Zinio was till I took a gander what you all were talkin about.

I am a big Google Voice user and noticed that the Market wouldn't let me download it for the 10.1.
I snagged this from over at AndroidCentral so I can't take any credit but I figured I would toss it here for anyone who wanted GV on their tab.
Its taken from the Xoom but I am running it on my rooted 10.1 without issue. Enjoy.

you can use something like androzip or basically anything that lets you look into the sd card (or the fake one the tab tells you it has) so you can locate the apk file you downloaded
Works here.
I had previously tried another Voice version (forget from where) without sucess.
FWIW, I emailed the apk - from the first post here - to my gmail account (as an attachment of course.)
When I openen the email on my Retail:Rooted device, "Install" (not "Download") was the option for the attachment.
Agreed to access...and it installed over whatever was there.
Looks the just the same as on my Galaxy GT-I9000 phone. (But 10.1 size )

Download astro or any other filemanager, and then just find where the apk was downloaded. If you try and open it through astro, it will ask to take you to the app manager, where you can install it.
I have installed plenty of apps straight from the browser.
Just make sure you have the option to allow unknown sources to be installed selected, under settings, applications.

I uploaded the latest version of GV in a different thread. It is easier on the battery.

How does it differ from the one OP posted, as that one was taken from the Xoom which is also a tablet. Yours is from the Infuse, which is a phone. Any issues??

My guess is that the one labeled Xoom actually came from a phone as well. It may have been modified to work on Honeycomb but that is only a guess. I do know that there isn't a downloadable version of Google Voice for any Honeycomb tablet. The version I posted is a later release (bug fixes and better battery usage) and required no modification to work.
I've had no issues with the one I posted and it is easy on the battery. Add GrooVe IP and you can do voice calls as well.
Hope that helps,
Andy
Thank you, I now have a giant slab of a phone. Awesome!
After the Honeycomb 3.2 ROM versions were leaked, a lot of people were disappointed that the Ebook reader did not work anymore on the customized ROMs. It was the same for my own custom ROM, the Ganbarou V0.4.
I played around a little bit and could finally get the Ebook reader to work. And even better, it is no longer a system application that you need to flash with the CWM recovery. Now you can just install the application as a normal user application.
To install the ebook reader, download the ebook.apk from my apps section. Copy the file to your tablet. Open your file manager on the tablet, and double click on the ebook.apk file to install it.
But I have to say, I am a little bit disappointed, because the Ebook reader has problems with the German fonts. See on the screenshots on my website post.
Download as usual from the apps section of my website or direct from this post. MD5 checksum is 9db1d18b8013e02deeaaeb1da2f0ca84 for the apk file and d1127f7c6bf9704e57f33d7fbd0edefc for the ZIP file.
I found the IMPORT function caused an FC immediately. Could be cos I'm on Taboonay ROM for my Acer Iconia... Shame but much thanks for effort! I was looking forward to making this my one and only reader prog.

Too bad for you, but I could only test on the Samsung P7500 with the HC 3.2 ROM.
problem here after 3.2 update. I tried to install your e-book app but this didn’t work (gt 7510 stock rom) “message: app not installed.
Do you have any suggestions ?

You need to remove the (not working) ebook.apk from the systems/app folder before you can install this version. You can remove it either from the original ROM ZIP file and then flash this changed ROM again (no data loss usually) or use e.g. ROOT-EXPLORER to delete the ebook.apk.

the Sammy's eBook app crashes on me all the time (SGT 10.1). It is slow and is not as smooth as the Ipad2's ibook. When I flick through the pages, after a while it would freeze up and revert back to the library screen. It is very frustrating. If Sammy wants to beat Apple, they need to step up their game!

That's why I prefer Aldiko. Free from the market, smooth, and with Aldiko Sync I can even read the same book on my phone or on my tablet.
Yes Aldiko is pretty good. I wish it had highlighter option like Sammy eBook app!

I checked your app on Overcome 10.1 series 230 ROM, and have some problems with "polish characters" displayed as squares. Well it seems that we are missing some part of this reader. Too bad cuz I find this reader as best one.

Hello everyone, came across this thread while looking for the Ebook.apk
Now, I have the Sammy Tablet 10.1, which I just installed the ICS, it's a two edged sword, I lost swype and the worst was loosing Ebook.
Now, I've installed the apk that BeeGee posted, which, does work, but...
If I try to import a book or pdf, it crashes
If I open a pdf from file manager, it imports it, but it it doesn't 'show' the pages. I can even highlight, but I don't know what I'm highlighting, lol.
Is there a build for the ICS. I'm considering going back to the Gingerbread, just to get the Ebook back, I loved it.
Any help would be rewarded with cake.
I believe that the ebook app required components from the touchwiz file manager, which was why import funxtion does not work.
I wonder if there is a work around.

Anyone know if it can be ported to CM9 Kang? I have tried several times to install the apk manually and even the flashable zip available on Task's page, but everytime I try to open it, it says "unfortunately, eBook has stopped." I also installed the same apk on my Galaxy Nexus with Stock ICS and it worked fine, except for when I tried to import books it gave me the same message and quit. I hope somebody can help me out with this, its the best ebook app I've ever used, and no other reader is satisfactory. Lol. I've included the ebook.zip below in case someone can tweak it and help me out. It's the flashable zip, the apk can be found by unzipping the file. Let me know if anybody has any ideas. Thanks guys

I tried that one too and got the same result: 'unfortunately, Ebooks has stopped' when I try to import. I think the Import books option needs to be edited to work for ICS.

Indeed. i guess I'll just have to wait until Samsung releases touchwiz for ICS and get it then. Thanks for everyone's feedback. I'll just stick with 3.2 HC until official CM9 is released.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to confirm something - I recently did the official Kies update to ICS on my Telstra SGS2. All good for the most part.
I only just noticed though, Polaris Office is missing from the Telstra ICS ROM. Is this correct? Have other peeps noticed it's absence?
I think VLingo is gone too - but I dont miss that.
Regarding Polaris... if i wish to restore it - is it as simple as restoring from one of my old Titanium Backups?
Thanks for any help.
Should work OK restoring from backup, if you find it doesn't, you'll need to extract the two lib files from the package & copy them over to /system/lib.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to find the apk from somewhere & reinstall it (also copy the lib files over after install). There are threads on here with details of this if you do a Google search (might even turn up using XDA search )
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Im not missing Polaris too bad - the only reason I noticed it missing was because it was no longer an option for reading PDFs. Ive since picked up another PDF reader, so i might just wait for the Play Store lauch of Polaris (if it aint too pricey).
Thanks again.

if my memory is correct, you you will find Polaris office on Darky OTA,
install from market Darky OTA and check it up...
Or you could try Kingsoft office for a free office reader/editor if you don't want to pay for Docs to Go QuickOffice etc..
does kingsoft reads .docx?
does it stays on the same page of the doc you're reading after you press the home button and goes back to the apps again?
