Just getting the Vibrant from a G1 I noticed that Amazon's Kindle comes loaded on the device. If I had some ebooks installed is there a way to load these PDF files or do you recommend another alternative to using viewing ebooks?
i have not tried using pdfs with the kindle reader but the books are stored in /sdcard/kindle/ you could try sticking it there and see if it works
Put it in the dir /sdcard/kindle/ doesnt seem to be loading. Seems like it only registers pdfs/books that you have purchased from Amazon store?
Any other recommendations for a pdf viewer?
Downloaded the RFS and id love to read on the go ;p

I dont use pdfs too often so I'm not the best to answer, but I know there is an official Adobe Reader in the market
I use Aldiko for the books I can't read in kindle.
The official Adobe Reader app is a really good PDF reader in my opinion and it's free.

Same thing with Borders' eReader app. They don't allow you to read epubs or pdfs that you've copied to the phone/sd card manually. They only access your online amazon/borders library.
Aldiko is a good free epub reader.
Has anyone had any problems with their ereaders..??......I have tried multiple ereader apps such as Aldiko, Kindle, etc.......none will read any of the books I have put on the micro-sd.......I even tried converting from pdf to epub......I must be doing something wrong.......any ideas..??.......I would love to have the ereader from the Pandigital Novel, but I can't figure out how to move it over.......
What were the formats you tried?...PDF typically works fine...there are several PDF readers available...Each of these reader apps support certain formats...maybe you did not match them correctly ( meaning reader app with ebook format)...if you need a program for conversion on PC try Calibre ( freeware) ...very good ...supports magazine subscription and much more...an dthen you can move ebook in corrcet format back to Elocity ( sd card or usb)

I have both the Nook and Kindle e-readers installed from the Market and working just fine, but I have downloaded my books from their stores, not sideloaded via SD.

Even better with calibre you can run the built in web server and just download the books you want with the browser.
Personally I use FBReader for actually reading the books.

What is the best Ereader app for Acer A500?
Depends on the taste but my prefered reader is Cool Reader.
mine is Lumiread, but also ezpdf reader is really good.
Try Aldiko for Android ePub Reader
I've been using the Aldiko ePub reader on my A500 and on my Nexus One. It works well on both platforms. It's integrated with Adobe DRM so if you need to access DRM protected eBooks, then it can handle that. It has a "store" mode that links to a number of eBook resellers. But, you can also import ePub files that you might have stored locally on a PC, or that you've downloaded from free eBook web sites.
Try it I think you'll like it.
Thank you all for your kind suggestions. Greatly appreciated.
I second Aldiko.
I just got my Nexus 7 and can't figure out where I put my mobi format ebooks so Kindle will recognize them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Same with the Nook app
Copy them to the kindle folder on your nexus 7 from your PC
The full directory for Kindle is below mate, if you haven't found it yet:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files
Don't use any folders, or they don't show up. Just put the .mobi file in there.
Not too sure where to put the nook files as I don't use the app
Can I suggest using a different e-reader app? The kindle app is sort of a joke. Limited format (.mobi) and slow. Try aldiko (free) or mantano (a few bucks, but totally worth it).
Thanks
Thank you all for the response. At first my Nexus didnt show the Nook and Kindle directories but after a reboot there they are.
Again Thanks
Look into Calibre (free application for managing books) and Calibre Library (android app) if you haven't. Lets you connect wirelessly to your library of books on a PC and download them straight to the Kindle on your device. I am using this approach for my N7 and finding I like it better than what I do with my Kindle Touch (load everything via USB and Calibre)
I am currently using calibre on my PC and calibre companion to side load ebooks on my NX7. I have a few of the reader apps however, I desperately would like to use the nook reader app which I have down loaded. However, my nook reader app and my calibre companion seem to not want to sync up. I have ensured the ebooks transferred are in epub format supported by nook reader but the two apps just don't seem to register each other....any suggestions?
Download es file explorer. Move your epub files from the books directory calibre created to the nook/my documents directory. Kind of a pain but the nook app doesn't allow for an alternate location for your books. I just moved my wife to Aldiko due to this problem. Aldiko has a lot more features and has made her reading experience better.

Thank you sir, I shall check out alkido, I downloaded es files explorer but indeed the process is cumbersome to transfer to nook reader.
Check out Moon+ Reader also. It provides direct support of a Calibre Server running on your PC.
You can browse and download directly from your PC, over WiFi. No wires.
I am extremely happy with the combination of Calibre and Moon+ Reader.
