Have you tried Liberty? It's a great, ad-free, free app that reads epub and pdf, but I don't think it supports that fancy editing/sketching function ezpdf has.

WIll try it out

That is sweet browser. It works for me both Wifi and Cellular network.
I have been using for about a week. I had sporadic problems using Edge with LVWS Rom and now with the Cingular 2.0 Black Rom I have no problems.......so far
Thanks for posting this, works great. Have to say it makes reading the forum easier from my phone. Using it to post this reply.
yeah, must agree, except that it does not work on some sites, this browser is head and shoulders above the rest. Great for reading.
Great
This is a great browser - nice and slick.
Plus it seems to be better for viewing PDF's than any other viewer i've tried

Not just SEEMS to be better at viewing PDF's, it is faster and slicker than any other PDF software and everyone should install it for the PDF capabilities alone - it is a bonus that it is a great web browser and views files of many different types
I've tried to install/re-install the program in main memory and Storage card. But tried to launch the Picsel Browser - keep getting "Initialisation Failure". Can anyone help ????
Might make a good pdf viewer, but its a piece of sh*t for a browser...works, but too much funky zoom/pan bs.
I absolutely love this application.
has anyone tried to login to myspace with this browser? It seems that this browser cuts part of the webpage, the part where I would login !

Thanks for the advice. But I have tried many time to reinstall/redownload ( also from other sites) but still encountered the "Initialisation Failure " error. I've also cleaned the direcory/registry/notification queue too but still not working. It's a pity - I would like to try out this program.

Yup, I have the same issue. Its a nice browser, fast and all but has some problems with rendering full page.
yeah, I definitely like the concept Of this browser. If the rendering problem could be fixed, I would dump opera mini and netfront in a heartbeat!
i like this app too, really nice.
someone has tried to browse a youtube video? i think this are flash movies, so i have installed flashplayer 7 (adobe(macromedia)), but the site alwayr return: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.
anyone knows how to solve this problem?
regards, chief
sweet!
Thanks guys, brings me back to the Sony UX50 days, a very capable browser.
I found out that the browser can only reach internet by using WIFI. when i tried to use cellular line, it did not work.
any idea to solve this? the software is very very good....

I tried skybook and mobilizer. neither worked very well. the basics were there but they both have a long way to go. the skybook app always failed to close properly and mobilizer never seemed to open properly.
This is not really an app, but some have suggested using the facebook page for iphone. I believe it is something like iphone.facebook.com or so.
EDIT: Na, I take it back. This certainly won't help you. I just tested the iphone facebook and did not like it. It seems that it uses resolutions for the iphone and everything looks big and blurry on the HD. Besides, that was no really what you were looking for anyway.
Here you go: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=16698519604
If you are going to use Facebook on a PDA, just use "m.facebook.com"... It is a web page obviously, but is formatted better for smaller screens...
Theres one being developed by this very site!

No idea to be honest, sorry. I actually stumbled upon Pageonce because it was in the featured apps about a week ago I believe...decided to just download it because I had free time, and it turned out to be a winner.

[Q] App Suggestions

I don't feel like I utilize my tablet as much as I would like to utilize it and I think that it is because I don't know of some of the cool apps that are out there. I use the my Nexus 7 to watch Networking videos and to read networking books (currently studying for my CCNP exams). I use Mantano Reader for books because I read a lot of PDF books. Which is alright but since the resolution of the screen I have to read the books sideways, if there is anything better that would be suggested that would be awesome. Or if there is any suggested apps that you guys use that would be good too. Thanks,
I use Quick Office for reading PowerPoints and the Kindle app for pdfs (I've heard moon reader is better though).
I'm studying for my CCNA

I haven't really messed with Quick Office that much it was expensive for what I wanted to use it for. I thought about using Kindle for PDFs but don't you have to be online to access your PDFs.
Awesome about the CCNA I passed mine in August, I think I am going to take my CCNP Route exam next week. Good luck on your exam though. I thought it was pretty tough compared to some of my college exams.

Quick office is actually free now in the play store
If the PDFs are on the device then you don't need to be online. If they are on the cloud then yeah you would have to be connected.
And it's a good thing you took the CCNA in August. They've made some changes to the exams that took effect in October. IPv6 and some updates (and a little but more difficult lol). Hope you do well on the CCNP!

A few days ago I bought Moon Reader Pro for pdf-support, because it is imo by far the very best reader off all I tried with epub-type ebooks. The pdf-support in Moon Pro does however not have text-reflow (fit text to screen after zoom), which I find ridiculous. Would I have known that, the free version would have been good enough. (With Ad Away I already have no adds in Android). However for epub Moon is so good the developper deserves my money and no hard feelings here at all.
The only pdf-readers with both decent text-reflow and also good dark theme with night/reversed view I found are Ez Pdf Reader (paid) and Adobe Reader (free). I might have tried them all. All others did not have both or not as good. Ez PDF I like very much and has a lot of options. Adobe good to.
Why don't you like Cool Reader for epubs?
It has the best background (very eye-friendly) and tons of customization options.

I have never used Cool Reader I will have to check it out. I have only really used Mantano and EZpdf for reading books. But I am always up for more suggestions of things to test out. Thanks.
For PDFs actually Amazon Kindle is the best reader app!
Fast scrolling, fast page previews, flawless rendering.
Only drawback is that you always have to go to a file manager, click on the book you want to read and chose Kindle. The app doesn't store on it's start screen documents which were opened from outside the Kindle ecosystem. But otherwise, most comfortable reading experience!

I have to say that you are right on that I didn't know that you could open PDFs using the kindle app like that. The only thing that it doesn't look like it has is annotation but in all honesty I don't use that much. Thanks for a how-to on how to use the kindle app.

I'll second the surprise and the thanks - I also didn't notice Kindle as an option when selecting from a file browser. It actually works very well as a PDF reader.

If you save your PDFs (or whatever) in /sdcard/kindle then the kindle app will include them. Although admittedly that doesn't help if you've got all your books arranged in a different directory structure.
Why not use adobe reader? I like that I can't annotate and see those also in my laptop.
I have had problems with rendering with adobe. It will take a while for pages to load especially on bigger books.

Wow thanks for the suggestion I don't mind having them in the kindle folder it is nice for them to appear in the app.

photo editor app?

Anyone have suggestions of a good one?
I have always been a fan of Aviary, and it's only gotten better since Adobe bought them, but I will say that the built-in app is pretty good for a quick auto adjust.

I can't write on my photos or cut out a section of the photo tho...I was trying to prove some private information before posting it online and couldn't do that, which was very frustrating so figured I'd ask...glad I did, I'll look into that app! Thanks!

Snapseed, Pixlr, PicsArt and Aviary are the best photo editing Apps you should be looking for !
All are free and available in the PlayStore
I use a few different editing apps depending on what I am doing. The one I use frequently that is not mentioned here is snapseed
Snapseed and Prisma is what I primarily use.
Photomate is what I use if I want to real editing on an Android device(It even supports RAW).
I also have lightroom but just like on my PC I never got into using it(I prefer using PS)

The gallery app with CM had the basic needs for editing (cutting, drawing and writing). Anything similar?
Snapseed is a bit too much IMO. Will give Aviary a run. Thanks
Photo studio pro is the best IMO
Pixlr
Polarr
