is there a good app similar to ibooks on the ipad I like how smooth it works and am looking for something on android that is very similar and works well..
Don't know much about iBooks on the iPad, used a few times for maybe a total of half hour. So this recommendation is based less on its similarity to iBooks on more on it just being a great app but I would try Moon+ Reader.
There's a free version in the Play store. I've tried others, Aldiko, Cool Reader, FBReader you might want to check out. But I came back to Moon+ Reader.
I use Mantano. I think you get a 30 day free trial to see if you like it. I do.
I also use Mantano Reader free, dosnt have a time limitation and works te best

I really like Aldiko for epub content and others. If I'm purchasing ebooks I use Kindle Reader for Android.

Can anyone reccomend a smooth PDF reader for my magazines.
I have all the monthly/weekly magazines in PDF format. Stuff,T3, Zoo,Nuts ect.
The best one I've found is Aldiko. The problem with that is the zoom is jerky. Also you have to re-zoom out to switch page.
Living in the uk we don't get the magazine tab in the play store due to rights crap.
My initial thought after seeing that promo was my magazines would look mint using that reader.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I've used several different ones and my favorite by far is EZ PDF Reader Pro. It really smooth and the UI is very polished. It also allows you to add notes, highlight, add text box, etc.

So, I managed to come into some books from a friend. Sadly, they are all in .pdf format. What I want to do is read them on Google Play Books. As of right now, I am using Aldiko Reader (if that's how you spell it), but that thing is so slow when flipping pages, that I can't take it. I really like the Google Play books app, so any way to import these books into the app, so I can read them? Or, any suggestions on good apps for reading .epub and .pdf books?
Fabrik and Mantano.

i uploaded my pdf's to google drive downloaded adobe reader and it works well,prefer to keep them in the drive as i have 11,000 of them
I recommend to use Amazon Kindle to read PDF... :good:
Epdf is amazing! it is a pay app, but it is the only software out there besides google books that render page flipping so well.
I'd recommend Moon+.
I don't like the flipping pages in any app, (I prefer an instant page change with no animations) but I tried the Moon+ one after seeing ppl here asking about it and it seemed really nice. You can control the speed of the animation I believe.
+1 for Moon+
you currently can't import books into Google Books (boo!)
Am a medical graduate, read lots of pdf as reference, plus doing postgraduation in computer science, have programming and system designing books all in pdf. Always prefer my KINDLE DXG, else RepliGO on my NEXUS 7. RepliGO is way faster than other available options, with fast annotation, cropping feature etc. Though its a paid app
If you have multiple devices, the Fabrik cannot be beaten. There is a free and paid version. There will never be any ads on the reading view with the free version.

I tried using Fabrik the other day, and it completely crapped out on me, no pictures, no enter dividing lines, it was a bunch of jumbled text, and unable to view my larger files. I think I'll just stick to kindle.
I have tried about 5 different book readers on my nexus 7. All have been good but the nook app seems to look and work best for me with epubs. You have to move your epub files to the my documents folder with a file explorer program like ES file explorer or root explorer. But after that its great. Nice bookshelf screen and fast smooth page turn effects. Works with comic book files also. I just tried a PDF and no luck there.

I just got myself a Nexus 7 and the first thing I did was to put a lot of good 70's and 80's SF books on it and then I got myself a problem - all the apps were bad. Luckily, after ten apps I've got a Kobo and it's great! Fast, reliable, great for reading EPUB files. All the others mentioned here including Aldiko are no match for it.
I tested a lot of reader, montano is by far the best, especially for pdf because you can even crop and resize them, nice ui too

Every few days when this topic comes up :banghead: I always suggest the same app; FBReader.

Fabrik
best reader for reading epub ebooks with flip animation
aaaaah you can try "blio reader" it is a nice option, a nicely built app with flip animations and also importing the book
KINDLE
The kindle app is great. just place the pdf's epub's etc into the kindle folder and they appear in the app interface.
I still think montano reader pro is the, especially for PDF files, since 2.38 the rendering on my nexus7 is almost instantly even even with high resolution ones

favorite reader that can access any files on your gn2 and at least pdf and epub. I have a ton of books cause i used to have a nook tablet but now w this cell i wanna read on it too. what are you all using?
Fabrik eBook reader. It reads most formats and integrates very well with dropbox

Aldiko Book Reader is a good one. It reads epub and pdf files. Personally I use Google Books especially now that you can upload your own books. Also you can sync across multiple devices which I find handy. I can read on my Note than pick up my tablet and pick up where I left off on my Note. Only down side to Google Books is I think you have to have some sort off off data connection. I don't think it has offline reading.

Incorrect. You can read offline with Play Books.
I've always been partial to fbreader in the market. It seems to handle any format you throw at it.

Kindle for Android
Step 1. Kindle app for Android.
Step 2. Calibre. Convert anything you have into any format you wish.
Step 3. Load converted books to your phone or any other device that kindle supports. Virtually everything.
I've used Mobipocket in past, and when Kindle came out just loaded everything to my different Kindles. When I got the Note 2, I mainly used the Kindle app for the Note 2 since the screen was so great. I still use dedicated Kindle Paper White and others, but mostly end up reading on my Note 2.
I've used several other readers, but honestly, the Kindle Android app is free, works great and syncs to my other devices when I run through Amazon. Since I can also use without going through Amazon, pretty much the best of both worlds.
The key is using Calibre to manage your ebooks though. That program is absolutely incredible.
Has anyone found a way to read/access ebooks purchased from Samsung on a Nexus 7? I have a couple of books purchased on my Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition that I would like to read on my N7. I can install Samsung Hub but it crashes won't open. I installed Readers hub, which opens briefly before it restarts the N7... I tried editing the build.prop to make it look like a galaxy s4, but no difference...
Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you happy that the embeded DRM isn't the problem? - if it is then I guess that drm removal is not an allowed topic here.
Have a look on the play store at Aldiko https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android that software has AFAIK the longest list of supported formats. If you then look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kitapyum.mobile.android.ebook that is the Turkish (looks like it could be bilingual) Samsung ebook reader. The look and feel of the software looks very similar to Aldiko

Thanks but these books have drm and I don't know how to remove them. I can buy and convert Kindle and Google books which are accessible on pretty much any device, but I can't seem to do anything with my Samsung ebook purchases on my Note 10.1 (2014). I can't even access them on another Samsung tablet from the same family that's still current! (Note 8).
Does anyone have any ideas?

I am not a fan of mobile games so could someone suggest me some good apps that I should download?
Plex is superb.
OneNote is a must.
Tapatalk and Relay are very good.
Google music for my music necessities.
Carcassonne is one of my favorite games if you're interested in trying a new one.

The Netflix app has a cast button which loads Netflix on the Chromecast then using the phone/tablet you select what you wanna watch, so in a sense the Android app is like a remote for the Chromecast. Kinda dumb why you would judge without knowing what your talking about. Also my tab didn't come with Adobe. Sorry i don't do things like you.

Sorry to see you are so far behind in the world.
I guess you don't got a smart TV then. Android TV? Voice control?
It's not like YouTube to TV so that sucks for you.
Going through all that trouble.
You know, what you're doing there is actually a setting u can call it a trick but I don't know if I wanna tell you.
And honestly since ya don't got a HDR TV I suppose it's better to watch on tab itself ...
Well about Adobe, man I give up. Some people just don't apply logic. You must be one of those older generation or some rich dude who doesn't spend or just some retard.
Then again I'm a Mensan so I won't judge. You live your tier 3 life man, AI is what's happening in case you missed it.
And by the way, I absolutely know what you're talking of would have been better to buy a compute stick instead of Chromecast coz google really rapeyd ya on that one.
Lol
And Netflix is so 2010 nowadays a psarip will do.
Amazon people don't rip much.
Also I'm just paying 7 USD per year for it.
I tried Nextflix too and I paid for a month as well.
Not worth plus the internet it sucks it's better to just torrent from uni

These are all art apps. Markers is completely free..as in FOSS no ads, available to download source, modify and compile yourself (from github--playstore has compiled binary of course)etc.
The others are proprietary and...not terrible. Autodesk has made sketchbook pro for win/OSX (they're the same to me) .. totally free, not sure about sketchbook for android as I bought it years ago and cant tell if its paid or not since it's on my tablet.
