TL;DR: Can't view book I bought in play store, get "this book isn't available for offline reading right now. check your internet connection then try again." error message, yet I have internet.
The story. I preordered a book ("The time of contempt", if it helps any) and eagerly waited it's release on the 27th. This morning I gleefully opened up the play store and clicked "read", to be greeted by a not so friendly "this book is not available for viewing now" error. Shrugging disappointedly, I went about my day and tried to forget about it. Ever since then whenever I try and open it on my N7 I get this error message: "This book isn't available for offline reading right now. check your internet connection then try again." The kicker here is I have a connection, and tried it on 3 different wifis (and my phone's tethering). Everything else works that requires internet, just the book wont load. My other books work fine (but they are local content), and most odd is that I can access the book just fine on my HTC one, no problem at all. I've tried google searching that error but it seems I may actually be the only person who's experienced the problem (or at least the first one to complain).
Things I've tried:
>clearing data for google play and google play services apps
>googling
>waiting and trying again
>switching wifis
>crying
I'm out of options, I may just reset it to factory to try and get it. I'm running pure stock if it helps the diagnosis any.
What do?

I posted before about my phone always starting up in airplane mode (here) after trying to get flash working on Opera.
Well for some reason, that has gone away. YAY!
But now, google maps no longer works. BOOoo!
What happened is that I started it up at the beginning of my weekly road trip, it looked like everything was working but the "Loading" note at the top was persistent AND traffic wasn't loading. If I moved the map around, new sections of the map were being downloaded without a problem. Opera works with no problem.
I then got this error:
Network Unavailable
This application requires a data connection. Please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.
(Error: wininetHttpError [0 12007])
I have had Google Maps die on me before so I keep the latest version on my SD card just in case. I removed Google and reinstalled. Now it doesn't even get to a map and gives the same error message.
Because of my weekly roadtrip, Google Maps is very important to me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you are having so many probs why don you just hard reset or even change ROM?
Perhaps that could help.

Hard reset is always an option but it is such a pain in the ass to reload everything that is working fine now.
As for loading a new ROM, for some reason I am told that I already unlocked my phone when I run the utility. Also, none of the ROMS look (or sound like they perform) all that different from AT&T's stock ROM after the available tweaks.
Scratch hard reset from the list of potential fixes.
Solved.

I had just upgraded one of my sync'd pc's to Windows 7.

I have had the same issue, same error message.
I use Amaze GPS...it is free and gives vocal turn by turn.
up until 2 weeks ago my Desire was working perfectly. In the mean time I have travelled from the UK to Greece where I disabled the data roaming (I mention this as this is the only thing that has changed in the settings). On returning to the UK I now cannot download any new apps, or update any existing ones from the Android Market.
All that happens is I get a graphic which shows the commencement of the download, no progress bar movement and not actual download, irrespective of how long I leave the download going.
I have tried on wi-fi and over 3G, no luck.
When I switch the phone on I get an error message stating that it cannot verify the google talk account - which may be connected to the problem, however I cannot find any setting or app in the phone which has anything to do with the google talk app. The HTC desire online guide tells me how to access the 'talk' app, but following the very simple instructions does not reveal the app on the phone.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem or who has a solution?

I've had same problem and not solved it yet!
Recently my wife purchased this inexpensive basic tablet which comes rooted out of the box, with ICS 4.0.3...pretty good overall.
One caveat is it does not come with gapps installed; no Market/Play Store, no gmail, nothing. Amazon Market, GetJar and one other lesser known alternative market instead. So my goal is to get the Market onto the tablet...
Having searched here at XDA I found this thread:
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621831
Using the method outlined above, I actually had the Market working fine for about 20 minutes, downloaded/updated a few apps, then started getting a "Cannot download due to an error" message on anything I tried to do. I have cleared Market data/cache, selected/re-selected my Google account within the Market settings, tried updating Maps, stood on my head and clucked like a chicken, basically anything I could find here or on the interwebs regarding this problem (its surprisingly common...just Google the "Cannot download due to an error" message). Anyway, no luck.
I went so far as to factory-reset the tab and start over; it didn't delete the Market app actually, and it did work again...for about 20 minutes.
My theory here is that the Market version I am installing via the thread above WORKS, but Google will go ahead and update it OTA within minutes and THAT new version, for whatever reason, does NOT work for me. Or, something is going horribly awry during said update.
I'm posting here in a general forum hoping to get some attention from experienced users who might have run into this issue before (again its widespread across many devices) and might have an idea on what else I can try to get this thing back on its feet.
If more info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks

So I rooted my tablet and everything is working fine, but soon after I'm getting errors with the Play store ("No connection" + retry button) and with signing into a Google account ("Can't establish reliable connection to server"). Otherwise, it's doing fine; social media, YouTube and browsing are all working at decent speeds and I'm posting from the tablet. Also, the wifi signal in the drop down menu appears orange, which to my understanding denotes limited access, but my PC doesn't return the same error.
I've tried deleting the cache and data of the play store, rebooting, switching aeroplane mode on and off, reconnecting after forgetting the network - nothing.
It was fine immediately after rooting with the Nexus Root Toolkit, but started playing up soon after I installed and launched App Ops X. Disabling that hasn't worked either.
I also changed the time zone up a bit earlier, but put it back to automatic.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: the indicator is still orange, but I managed to get the Play store and Google services up and running by adding another account.client.Google.com server to the host file in /etc, although downloads are painfully slower. Can anyone explain why this worked and it didn't before, because I already had one there with a different IP. Also, are there any faster domains for me to add? Thanks.
I live in the UK and I'm currently on holiday in New York. I converted my m8 to a Google play edition a couple of months ago, so it's rooted with s-off.
Up until now I have had 0 problems with the phone. But after arriving in the US I have absolutely no use of Google services. Email, Play store, maps apps, when I try to use them I just get a "No connection" error. I've tried restarting several times but this makes no difference. I've also tried using Play store via the Firefox browser but although I get access to the store OK, when I try to download any apps, they don't get installed or downloaded.
I have full access and 0 issues with my stock Galaxy Tab S 10.5, but it isn't really practical (or safe) carrying it around when I'm out and about.
A little help or advice would be great.
