+1 for Kingsoft! I use it on my tablet and on my phone and it seems to work well for the occasional word document or note.

Guys,
Which app is best for reading books and magazines in PDF format?
I'm looking for an app that lets me turn the page from right to left. The apps that I have tried make me drag the page up.
kindle read pdf, if I remember
I have tried many ebook/pdf readers. The best i can think of is NOOK! Very sleek and smooth. Better than Kindle and Kobo.
Suggestions of apps

I had been searching for something similar a couple of months ago and now i finally found two apps that help me to read pdf's --
-- Adobe PDF reader ( I dont think it allows you to turn pages right to left though )
-- RepliGo reader (This is a paid app).
Sometimes, I use ezPDFReader too .. Hope these suggestions help you find the best pdf reading app..
Thank you guys for the input! I played w/ some PDF readers, and tried all of the suggested ones. Right now, I'm going with Moon Reader+ Pro. It has all the things that I said i was looking for earlier. Only issue is the lag between page turns. I am trying to decide if its too much to deal with. Hope this helps anyone else who has this same question.
EzPDF reader is awesome :thumbup:

Hey everybody!
After weeks of searching the internet and looking up some older threads here at XDA, I'm still desperately in need of a at least half-decent CHM reader for Android. Unfortunately there's only crappy and buggy software available (no or bad search feature, problem with compiling the files, unable to view the TOC, etc.)....
I tried EVERY free one (Android Chm EBook Reader, Best Ebook Reader, iReader, Moon Reader, Cool Reader, Cuckoo Reader, etc.) and some paid ones (HYReader, Chm Reader X, etc.) in the Play Store.
The "Best Ebook Reader" used to be quite aceptable but meanwhile there's no actual version available anymore and it seems that there's no support for ICS, because I always get a forced close on both my TF101G and my SGS3 running on stock ICS.
The main issue is, that I need such a reader to read quite big CHM files (about 50-70MB) and that most of the available readers seem to have problems which such big files.
A friend of mine is using the "GoodReader" on his iPad this thing works like a charm! So I'm curious if there's no way to get something like this for Android.
try KingReader...
Me also facing same problem

yes there is no good chm reader for android none r at par with CHMate for iOS
however you can try iReader on play store (the one with colorful icon),this works good for ICS.
it has all functions except search button.
i use it regularly and it is able to handle harrisions(273 Mb) without any FC.
but not perfect and i am still in search of one,
if you get some or have some suggestions plz help
thanks
This is a major problem for me as well. I spend way too much time trying to reformat CHM files into EPUB to work WELL on my Android devices. So far it's been pretty hit or miss with converting/editing programs like Calibre and Sigil. There is no good CHM reader on Android. And we really need one.
iReader seems to be nice. But the menus are in Chinese.......
Kingreader works great on the Nexus 7
Ireader works great on the Nexus 4 for CHM files
yes..been trying king reader..
and it was good..
KingReader really works for me. (Samsung Galaxy 7 Tab 2)
back to square one in jelly bean- kingreader not working
plz help me.....
I am in desperate need of a descent CHM Reader.

So dev/enlightened ones/king reader/ i reader dev plz do something for thos poor soul.

Try SuperChm. It worked perfectly even when my chm files don't have an index.the search option surely doesn't work when three is no index but it read all medical chm files I tried.
SuperChm indeed works quite nice. Unfortunately it still sucks compared to the functionality CHMate for iOS :/
I just released a free version of CHM Reader X, called CHM Reader F. You can have a try.
I'm still missing the "that's the thing!" feeling, but it works very well and fast. Thank You!
You can use mixolorer file managerit opens chm files
Also it has add-on for ebooks like pdf ,epub and others
Hi friends, I want to introduce an alternative for Samsung Ebook reader that works on ICS and JB custom ROMs too! its name is Mantano Reader...
I use it on my MIUI ROM and it works just fine, besides, it has many other features that other Ebook readers might not have...
It's a paid APP I think, that's why I haven't put it here. I'm in Iran where we are never used to pay for applications, we can't if we want though. so don't blame me.
LOL... So the wrong forum...

Hey friend, I know that
But when you see how many people come to this forum in search of Ebook readers, you won't object this, take a look around in the forum, there is at lease 2 active threads about this. my first thread about this was in the original tab forum and about Samsung Ebook reader, but that only worked on official ICS according to the feedbacks, but this one works on any build, try for yourself... I am still using it, works fine still:good:
the only good ebook reader is Fabrik.. sync with dropbox... and no other shizzle with it.. )

Well seo has ported eBooks and MyFiles to work without TouchWiz. No way I am going to switch now.
Besides, I have tried Mantano. Not my cup of tea.
Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and that is why i am posting it here. I am going to buy a new phone. The one i have stinks, however that is not the issue i want to address. I am stuck between samsung galaxy s3 and the windows 8x by HTC. The thing is that i use it for school and need to address some things about it
1) i download files a lot from my schools site, powerpoints, .rtf files, word documents, etc. So i need to know if i can download and view them right on my phone.
2) is the office application to view these files good? can i edit files if i want? SOLVED
3) i frequently use dropbox. is it supported? SOLVED
4) does it support mobile hotspot? i don't use it frequently but i have a tablet that on small occasion i have to use the hotspot.SOLVED
5) is the battery life ok on the 8x? SOLVED
6) is back up assistant on the 8x? i have verizon. if not how can i save my contacts if i go with this phone?
7) is IE 10 a good browser? i have never tried it.SOLVED
8) how is the app store? good or bad? does it have a navigation app? SOLVED
sorry for all the questions. i dont have an upgrade and want to make sure i get the right phone for the money.
i don't need to ask any questions about the s3 because i know android and that it works for all the above mentioned.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some guidance here.
S3. Why would anyone want a widows phone?

Not helpful
I think (but i'm really subjective) that WP8 is better than android for "working": Office is really helpful and you can read .ppt and .doc documents. Dropbox is supported and you can create an mobile hotspot easily. IE10 metro is really better than its predecessors (in desktop i still use chrome ). The app store is...mh...is better the android one i think, but compared to the wp7's store, the wp8 one is good

You should start using SkyDrive if you are going to get windows phone
I use android, and I use most of these services...
Dropbox for auto upload full size images to web instantly then download to pc.
GoogleDrive for backing up unlimited amount of photos on web (size decreases to 1024px width/height max )
SkyDrive for taking notes on the go and office files.
WP8 does support DropBox...

Hey, i know its an incredibly stupid question, so minor that if there was a "thread for questions that dont deserve their own thread" i would post it there. I debloated and uninstalled a lot of APKs for my Samsung A32 and so far i ironed out all the kinks and im pretty happy with how the phone is, however i realized little ago that i lost the ability to view PDF files in my phone. What was the pre installed APK that lets you see them normally? I cant remember if it was google docs or if it was something else.

Adobe Acrobat reader. Same as computer. If you go to play store you can search pdf and have other million choices.

Huh, was it installed by default on android? I dont remember any path when using ADB that had "adobe" in it.
No pdf viewer installed by default on stock android
You might have some Samsung app maybe
But Adobe is the master
Ok, just for the record i found out it was google drive the one that was by default the pdf viewer.
The phone adobe acrobat reader is good for mobiles or are there better alternatives?
