Alchemy clip in the market claims to do this.
I've not tried it yet, but should work

Hi,
Downloaded a few ebooks onto my Hero, was looking for a pdf viewer to read them. The adobe app doesnt cut it... no bookmarks, or pagejump? i wonder why they left those key features out...
Anyway, im after an app that will show me my pdf's in colour, and in text view (as in adobe reader app). But also have the ability to bookmark pages, so i know where i have read upto, and can come back to key highlighted points.
What are your suggestions? I have tried beamreader also, but cant find an option to create my own bookmarks so im guessing it does not have this feature
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Have you looked at Aldiko app, I think it uses .epub but u could always convert using calibre on your computer
The stock Adobe Reader
Hi is there any pdf reader for the g tablet that you can mark the text???
RepliGo PDF Reader. You can highlight (if the text is understood as text, depends on how the PDF was made), put sticky notes, and draw freehand. The last option isn't optimal, but once you get used to it, it's reasonably functional. It's not free, but it seems to be the only option out there, and $5 isn't too bad if you're like me and your work really benefits from this functionality.
excelent, it is perfect
Also, the QuickOffice HD that Gojimi ported over from the Adam has a viewer as well as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Looks REALLY good on the gTab!
Thank you but the quick office can't highlight the pdf text, or am i wrong?

You are correct, niether RepliGo or QuickOffice can highlight text in the form you are thinking of. RepliGo can "Select Text" to copy but it can't highlight text as with Adobe Acrobat (for PC's) does when you are using PDF like you would a text book and a highlighter to quickly find vital text for homework and assignments etcc..
I've used ThinkFree, Quick Office, RepliGo, and ezPDF but niether can highlight text and save the highlighted text to the document you are working with.
I've yet to find an apk that can match Adobe Acrobat as far as that function goes.
Tek - no, RepliGo can actually highlight text. And make sticky notes. And do other annotation. And it saves it to the document. I keep all the PDFs I use for my work on my Dropbox; when it syncs the changes I make via RepliGo, I can pull that PDF up on a computer and see the notes - hand written, highlighted, or sticky.
It can't match Adobe, but it does more than the QuickOffice suite does.
[EDIT] I've attached a screenshot of me using Reader to see drawn markups and a sticky note. This was a scan of a document written in 1926, so highlighting wasn't possible (the text is an image, not characters), but still, it demonstrates that the markups were made in RepliGo and are visible via Adobe.

I've seen the error of my ways, I've been browsing the PDF files on my network via Estrongs and simply opening them up from the network. What I did not see was that the files were being cached to a temp folder and opened as read only!
I copied a bunch of PDF files to my GTAB and then from there I was able to edit them (higlight, sticky, etcc) using REpliGo V3.1.2.
I should have realized it will only edit "native" documents.
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi,
Does anybody know a book reader program that allows to translate selected text by means of external applications? There was such an application for wm (Alreader), but it seems that it isn't going to be ported onto wp7.
If there are no such a reader, I would be really appreciated if someone could point out a reader that allows to select words and copy them to the clipboard.
Thanks in advance.
check on Freda
Here's what I've tried:
G:RSS (don't want a web based solution)
Google Reader (nice, but not quite)
NookFeed (doesn't work)
Nook Reader (doesn't work, just tries to open then closes)
NewsRob, Feedr, etc...
Calibre - push epub to dropbox...formatting is just a bit ugly. Don't want to have to wait for a scheduled time to sync.
All I want is a nice e-ink friendly app. If you could even get G:RSS without the damn add and the table size slightly increased, that would be perfect.
Of course i would find what I was looking for right after I post this. For those interested:

No google reader auto-sync, but it can import an OPML file that one can export from google reader (manage subscriptions > import/export > OPML)
Also can inverse the screen, and has nav arrows below. The only problem is it doesn't scroll (with or without hard keys). But the font works out so I can read nearly all of it, and there's a go to link button if you really want to check it out
EDIT: Seems you can scroll down the article with a swipe, but it needs to be nearly a top to bottom swipe. Also once you do this, you cannot use the nav buttons on bottom to go to next/previous, but must back out then select the article again. Still the best I've found
Why is it better than Google Reader?
Google Current has paged reading, which would be awesome. It can read rss feeds too. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the nook, see the other thread..

It's better IMO. Less refreshing, quicker, and better use of hard keys (I want had keys for both paging up and down the articles and their lists).
My apologies if had been mentioned before.
PC FILE DOWNLOAD on the market, works very well indeed. Just get it onto your phone as well as HFS on your computer and follow the set up instructions. Basically means you can connect your phone through USB and load files (other than pictures or music through Zune) off your computer. I got Adobe Reader and was finally able to load my entire PDF library. Once other format readers are available, I am sure the above tool will also be useful.
Easy to set up, few minutes and you'll be done. Enjoy!
grand merci ... thanks ...
Thanx for this. I was using windows live. This is sooo much faster and more managable. thanx!!!!!
Glad someone found it as useful as I did. I like to read books and inability to just load files on WP7 was a big handicap for me. Zune manages media files only and every other option was too cumbersome, especially if you have as many ebooks as I do.
Storage
Hi
i Like this ap
But i can't find where the files are stored
any idea?
Thanks
I just opened my Adobe Reader and all the books were there, so whatever is loaded in PDF format will be found in Documents. I guess if it's just docs in Word, you'll find them in Office. Or... you can use Explorer and check, I guess.
