Trying to convert some PDF to ePub format for HTC flyer so I can use the Pen to take notes. In Calibre, What template should I be using? Is the default ebook reader on flyer the same as Kobo reader? Anyone can share some tips?
Thanks!
Why don't you note, annotate using the Flyer's pdf reader? I find it quite convenient. When official HOneycomb comes I will probably use Repligo draw freehand capability.
Thanks for the message. When you use the PDF reader, it seems the fonts are too small, you have to zoom in/zoom out....true?
Yes, you can zoom in and zoom out. I've found it rather an advantage sometimes. But a BIG plus for the PDF is that you can view your file with comments in any PDF reader, on PC or mobile. I don't know whether we can do it with the ePub Flyer's annotations. In addition, in Flyer's ebook reader I think that you can only annotate/view the annotations at normal zoom level.
Hope it helps.
I just converted a book from pdf using Calibre. I used the default settings in Calibre and converted it to epub format. Worked great and was able to make hand written notes with the HTC Reader.

For advanced Epub stuff files like writing and taking notes into a Epub with a pen (HTC flyer isn’t a touch screen or pen screen or what ever u want to call it write? and that is what u are asking for right?? well what ever floats your boat I guess.) well that kind of stuff can get pretty hairy for a free converter like caliber, the don't do advanced eBook fetchers yet. I would try and use Manuel conversion company they are usually on the cutting edge of what u can do with Epub (im 100% sure if u can take notes into a file Epub or how u would do that or why u would do that) but I’m sure this company (convertabook . com) can help you figure out what u could do and if it is practical and if any one could do a crazy thing like that it would be them just call them

well, I’m using such one useful XFlip pdf to ebook software to convert PDF document files to flip ebook and then read, share and view them on any mobile devices or ebook reader like Kobo reader easily.
Thanks!

Anyone has yet found any other decent PDF reader app that fits our huge screens nicely?
Adobe laggs on big files and renders images veeeery slowly
Alreader has very very tiny icons, i try to touch 1 and i activate 3 :S
PocketXpdf seems to not have updated for long long time :S
any insights? thanks in advance!
I haven't tried it myself but there's Foxit Reader. I use their reader on my Windows PC because it is lightweight and fast. I'd hope they would transfer that same philosophy onto the mobile version.

I have used foxit for a while however, if you are reading ebooks, I generally tend to convert them to epub format and read them through reader tab.
Does anyone know of a PDF viewer that does the 2 up view? 2 Pages side by side like a book?
I have the same question. Neither Adobe Reader, Documents to Go full version, or Quickoffice will show 2-page view, and to navigate 500-page books to do research I really need that capability. Hopefully someone has an answer!
I'm looking for an ebook reader for my Galaxy S2. I need something which can read mobi and epub formats (I tried FBreader, but it doesn't seem to parse paragraph breaks correctly). Something that can read .lit files would be very desireable, though I haven't been able to find anything which can do so.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thx
aldiko reader for sure is by far the best book reader iv seen on any android device ^_^

You can add all of your own ebooks and PDF's to the Nook Tablet without doing any modifications at all.
Just connect the NT to your computer and copy all your books into /My Files/Books and the device will see them, or better yet, get Calibre to manage your books on your computer and simply connect the NT and move the books over using Calibre.

the Nook's handle PDF documents fine, but there are limits to what you can ask from a 7" screen. For me the sweet spot is epub books, which packages like calibre - E-book management can convert to just fine. PDF documents usually involve a little bit of zoom/pan for reading, which is not as smooth.
For primarily PDF reading, you might want to look at one of the 10" tablets. They won't sit in your hand as easily, but would likely render full-page PDF documents at a readable size.
Have fun,
Ron
Without stepping into the argument about PDFs again - what Ron said is true and I very much agree.

Or use Calibre to convert to epub or any other format you prefer.
Can anyone recommend an app (preferably webos) that i can annotate PDFs with?
i need to write and draw on them?
im using EZPDF at the moment on android but the writing is very jagged and almost unreadable
I've used repligo which works quite well and have recently been using the free version of mantano reader.

repligo reader works well here too. but ezpdf reader works well also. Unfortunately, there isn't any pdf annotation software out there at the moment. I would love to see one and even pay more than $10 for it.
