Help Aldiko - Adding Project Gutenberg

[llloyd4]

Hello! I hope someone can help me here. Been using Aldiko for books and have gotten a few off of Feedbooks. But I thought I'd also add Gutenberg as well. So I touch "Add Books" "Other Catalogs" "My Catalogs" and "Add a Catalog" and typed in Gutenberg for title and m.gutenberg.org for the URL. But when I go to load it up I get a "400 Bad Request" error. Now I can load up the address, m.gutenberg.org in the web browser just fine. So what am I doing wrong here?

Probably nothing. That certainly used to work.

From 2010 to early 2011, Aldiko had its own slot here -

Here it is from 2010 -

By late 2011 I'd read something about Aldiko not playing well with others.

If you're interested in an alternative, check out "Moon+ Reader"

I dropped Aldiko for Montano and that for Moon, so I don't know what the present state of Aldiko is.

But Moon+ Reader is very good. And you get to Project Gutenberg by pressing its button.

Ok. This'll take some getting use to. I can pull up the epubs from the Alkido directory but Moon+Reader didn't add them to the shelf for easy access, and the one book I pulled off of Gutenberg also wasn't added to the shelf just downloaded and displayed.

Along the same vein my local library uses Overdrive for checking out ebooks. Even though my tablet is sitting 2 feet from the cable router / modem with wi-fi I have not been able to log in to my Overdrive account, keeps timing out. Any fixes / suggestions?

I went through that same thing. I had to clear data from the app manager, uninstall and reinstall, reentering credentials. Pain in the neck. Good luck!
