Wondering if anyone has had any luck trying to pull the stock magazine reader out so it can be used in NF ?
If I could get the magazine reader in NF there would be no need for me to ever boot to stock (I use the Kindle reader for most books).
From what I understand, its just Quick Office... Maybe give that a try.

OK, maybe I'm in the wrong place but hopefully someone can help me or direct me to the right place. I have a Samsung Captivate. I downloaded FBreader app so I can read ebooks in epub format. I don't want Kindle and from reviews I read, FBreader is better than Aldiko or Laputa.
#1. Where do I go to buy ebooks (latest booksbest sellers, etc.)?
#2. How do I download them to my PC then transfer to my external SD memory card in my phone? Or/And
#3. How do I download directly from my phone to the SD card and this use the app to read?
Thanks in advance for your help, Fellow Droiders.
p.s. I DO have Kies installed. How/Can I use that for syncing ebooks from PC to phone?
When I first started learning Android, I had to experiment with a few different kinds of ebook readers. I previously had a Tilt that I loaded Incubus' Froyo on, and that was the only thing I ever read books on.
FBreader never really did quite work right for me, I ended up using the free version Wordplayer. It seems to work the fastest, has a lot of nice options, and doesn't screw up the formatting of the text. I read about 20 books on the tilt, and now that I've got a Captivate, I've read six on this device using Wordplayer.
As far as where to buy books, that's a matter of searching Google. I haven't bought any epub books myself, I've just been converting my old .lit ebooks using Calibre.
I never had any luck with FBReader I know it does not get good reviews but I have liked Aldiko that I even purchased the premium version of it. I was getting my books from Barnes and Noble in epub format but the only thing that it would play on without decrypting the files is their Nook software which is fine in its self but my other collection of books that I did not get from Barnes and Noble I import them with Aldiko. One nice thing about the nook software is that you can do it all on your phone and never have to worry about the PC as it will load the book on your phone directly
Hope this helps
Amazon just released the Cloud Reader to bypass Apples InApp Purchases. I checked it and found out, that there are no transitions while turning the pages.
Unfortunately my nook hasn't arrived yet. Can anyone check, if the reader can be used with the nook, please? Thanks in advance.
It requires Safari or Chrome. Does the NC run either browser?
Not straight from the market, as far as I know.
Still trying to find a way to download it to computer to force install on nook, but no success so far.
Are there any privacy or other concerns that anyone has experienced from reading books from other sources with the nook app?
I am thinking of reverting my mom back to stock (she only uses it for reading) and she wants to be able to buy books fron barnseandnoble but doesn't want to loose her current books.

I still have my nook with stock with 1.4.3 update and run cm7/cm9 from sd (8gb sd for cm9, 16gb sd for cm7). I have books on it from other sources and used calibre to convert them on my computer to open on the Nook. My son has a Kindle and I have converted his books for the nook with no major problems after installing kindle software and calibre (with the plugins for kindle) on the computer. If her books open in the nook app then they shoud work in stock.
There was an app called Reader or EReader on the Evo 3D. It was an ebook reader. I see the One doesn't come with an ebook reader. I went into System > App on my 3VO and extracted EReader.apk and EReader.odex. Is there some way I could make this program work on my One without rooting?
I know there's various different ebook readers in the market, but I really enjoyed this one, and would like to attempt to get it working on the One.
Isn't there a way to take these two files and make them one that would install like any other app?
Folks- I'm interested if anyone reads magazines on their nook HD+.
I downloaded some PDF magazines and I'm trying to find a good way to read them. The text is very small and zooming is a pain.
I downloaded a sample magazine from nook store, and it worked great it even had an article view.
I downloaded a free magazine from Google play magazines and again the text was really small and hard to read.
Any tips - am I missing something? Do you just have to zoom in?
I use the google magazines app for Motorcycle Cruiser. I set it to text only and it is perfect for reading the articles.
1. Open mag
2. Single click in the middle of screen
3. Top menu should appear
4. Choose option "view text"
To revert follow same steps and choose "exit text"
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply - I missed that option in Google magazines.
It doesn't allow you to side load your own magazines unfortunately, so I'm still trying to find a good way to view pdf magazines.
I use adobe reader for side loads. You do have to zoom but it refreshes pretty quick.

I wish someone would figure out how to get the Stock ROM NOOK app working in CM. I have a couple mag subscriptions and the difference in the magazine reader is HUGE. That is the only thing I use the Nook reader for. Does anyone know of a way to open B+N purchased magazines with another app?

First, the nook reader itself is what makes the magazines so awesome. I'm not sure that, even if you were successful in opening the magazines in another app, that they would be the same.
Second, the magazines are stored in a root only access area so you need to be rooted to get at them (/data/nookmedia).
Third, even if you got to the files, they are probably DRM protected so other apps could not use them. You should be able to use DRM removal software to free them up though.

Are books stored in /data/nookmedia also?
The reason I ask is because I transferred a lot of epubs (drm free) and they appear in the library as files, they do not appear on the Book shelf. I would like them to appear as books (which they are).
Solution: root and copy them to the /data/nookmedia folder?

Yes books are stored there too. But I don't know if your proposed solution will make them appear in the library. I guess you could try.
