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:

OK I have olive, documents to go, think free office, and have tried pretty much all of them and can still not figure out how to create a PowerPoint presentation with slides already saved to my gtab. Can someone please help me out with this problem please
So.....no body knows anything about this?
I've no idea what your question is. I higuly suggest quickoffice hd. Look in the apps section.

First post in that thread has dl link to qoffice tablet version.
i really appreciate your attempt to help me but as you can see if you read my original post i've tried pretty much all microsoft office apps (including the one you posted to me) and i cannot find out how to create a power point presentation using the slides i already have saved to my tablet. Again, i'm thankful for your attempt, but, as a general rule, if you don't even understand the question then you should probably just move on.

I have also tested most Office suites for Android and have not found a reliable replacement for a notebook/netbook. I guess that if you want to create a ppt you won't be able to do it with a tablet that is not based on windows. You could try Picsel Smart Office.
I don't use powerpoint so I'm not sure what complexity you are looking for.
The online help for Office Suite Pro has a tutorial for creating creating PowerPoint presentations on your android device.
Sorry if this does not help, like I said I don't use powerpoint

I have run away from sammy's 3.1 stock ROM,,, And now landed to awesome Cyanogen Mod 9 (kang)
Everything is fantastic in it.
+1,+2,+3 for music app and many more +'s for some other things.
Only thing I am missing is sammy's ebook application that was in stock rom.
I tried Aldiko, Moon+(it doesn't read pdf's, only epubs) etc.... they are good but not enough to compete with iBooks in my friend's ipad... I really like ebook app that comes in stock rom.
I downloaded ebook apk from here http://desire.giesecke.tk/downloads/
That was fine for .epub books but failing to view pdf. I think its due to Some issue with 4.0.
So, my question is
somebody who own GALAXY NOTE or GALAXY S2 and got official ics 4.0.x update by samsung, can able to copy their ebook apk and upload to me?(I will PM my email id)
Thanks...

This app will not work with CM9 as it requires Samsung framework. Try Aldiko instead.

No,,, i downloaded 'ebook' apk of honeycomb version and installed to cm9.. it worked normally for .epub books but displaying blank pages for .pdf books.
I think the ebook apk in stock GALAXY NOTE ROM may work on CM9 without any issues since both are on android 4.0 ICS framework? I may be wrong because i am not a developer.
Okay, i will either convert some of pdfs to epubs or use aldiko....

you need the "my files" app from honeycomb...i cant get it to work on ICS..you could try though.
Missing file too
Hi, I'm missing this file from the firmware upgrade on my Galaxy Note, i'd appreciate if you could send me the ebook.apk pls :good:
I use Adobe Reader for PDFs and Cool Reader for epubs. I use the Kindle and Nook apps for everything else.
They replaced the ebook app with the Reader's Hub app I think.
I use the nook app for epubs. Add the files to the /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments folder on your android device. It doesnt do pdf either though but Calibre solves that. Lifehacker.com/5509965

But you know, no book reader app was better than that of Honeycomb, seriously guys you have to admit! One thing I regret is that, no book reader like the previous one. Please, developers, do something, for I am an avid book reader.
You can get it from Samsung APPs,I got it on my official ICS,nearly 30MB,All is fine in epub and pdf,search in there

Yep, running fine here.
Just downloaded some ebooks from Project Gutenberg.
I'd say try kindle. Requires Amazon account, but reads mobi and pdf files with ease.
Created thread in general,Q&A in there...
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

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

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
I want want to know what peoples opinions are for what is a good app for opening and reading word documents. I have adobe reader but I cant open them up.

+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.
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?
