Help Books application

[tcallahan]

Hello,

Anyone know if there is a way to manually add books to the book app on this sucker??

If there is can I just load up a pdf or will I have to convert the books to a/certain format?

If there isn't can anyone recomend an app that will let me do that?

Thanks!

What book app are you talking about? Yes you'll have to convert it to a certain format, or else it wouldn't be readable. I use Aldiko as my reader. It supports epub format. I convert the pdf to epub using calibre. Keep in mind, the conversion isn't perfect, but it does the job. Calibre converts to other formats as well. You just got to find out which one it uses.

Aldiko will also read pdfs. After I discovered that I stopped doing the calibre-pdf-to-epub step.

Ok. I have calibre i can do that. I just was hoping there was some way to add books manually to the xoom.. The stock book app is very nice but it looks like itll only show books you download from the market.... :O(
