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

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....
Hi,
Nook Tablet 16G rooted CM10.1.2/Android 4.2.2
Odd issue. Have two of these with different accounts. On one Google Play Books/Magazines Apps work fine. On the other Books fails to sync library (Quit / Retry) yet settings account shows books sync working. Also Magazines starts shows logging in dialog then the screen flashes and it loops back to logging in/flash/logging in / flash, stuck in a loop. Haven't tried market online access yet but I presume it will work fine since I can download and run apps from Play store.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling both apps, no change. Moved both apps to sd, no change. clear both cache and data, no change.
Anyone run into this problem?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Kevin
New info.
On a whim I decided to add my account, which is working on the other tablet.
Using my account on the tablet in question (2 apps don't work) google books and magazines works!
Switching back to my son's account and the symptoms return.
So it's not the tablet or the app but the account?
It's odd because google play works fine (ie. download and install apps) using that account.
I need to go to the web based market and try logging in with the account in question to see how the web based interface works.
I'm wondering if it could be due to the account not having a registered form of payment?
Regards,
Kevin

yes, it is
as long as you didn't delete playstore
I just had to uninstall/disable Google+ app to get rid of the annoying "Google Photos" app. I think the "auto awesome" is feature is f****** stupid. I just spent an hour crawling through my /system/app directory looking for the package to delete as root, after I found out that it wasn't easily disabled/uninstalled like any regular app.
I can't wait until Ubuntu mobile is more stable. When it is, I am ditching Android. I'm tired of how companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., all want to snoop on every bit of your private photos, emails, text messages, etc. They all want to be your "one and only" application, and that's unrealistic.
Sorry, I'm a bit annoyed right now. I don't mind Google+ as a social platform, but I do think it was stupid of them to force their stupid photo **** onto the whole world by making it a mandatory part of Google+ mobile app. Screw that...I will just use the mobile site if necessary.
Certain phones can bootloop if you uninstall the wrong Google apps. You should always ask what kind of phone and update before saying everything is ok. It is rare, but some LG phones will soft brick with the Security Error if you uninstall typically innocuous looking Google apps like Google Books.
I DON'T want a google+ account or to use google play games, but everytime I open some games (for example FFFFF2P or others) they pop up the google play games spam (which firsts spam you about making a google+ account and then about logging in a google play games account). That appears every single time I open the game..
I completely frozen google play games but yet the damn pop-up opens when some game calls for it.
Any way to stop this?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using a OP5T with rooted OOS.
I'm encountering a problem where tapping URLs in certain apps (Boost for Reddit, FB Messenger, Tapatalk, etc) won't open my Chrome browser, but will take me back to my launcher with the "Google Play Store has stopped"
I have quadruple-checked that Chrome is set as the default link handler, have denied Play Store from opening any URLs that arent play.google.com, cleared cache/data, rebooted etc, but the error still persists.
I've found people having a similar issue, but in their instances it was them being taken to a Play Store listing for shady software instead of the correct URL (due to malware). In my case, it seems like the phone is trying to go to PS instead of Chrome, then crashing PS when it can't complete the request.
Any ideas?
