This was exactly what I disliked about my Kindle.

Someone put the corner of suitcase through the screen one day. Now I am all 'software-based'. I like having one device, and all my software on it to do different things.

The whole idea of separate hardware devices for clocks, email, phone, GPS, books, music, writing, taking photos, taking videos, recording sound etc will be dead in a few more years. I also believe Android will be the software platform of choice, but it does not matter what is.

Could not agree more. I find reading and writing on a tablet is easier, having the Note with me at all times makes it far more valuable overall.

to read ebooks

I have installed Screen Filter from market that makes the screen pleasant to read and easy on battery.And for ebooks - Amazon Kindle reader.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I didn't realize until it was too late that the nook and kindle apps don't let you zoom in on images in books. So don't get anything with stuff like maps or important diagrams or charts. It's quite upsetting.

Pros and Cons

Lots of pros and cons for using a smaller device to read, compared to a larger device (or paper - what's that?)

I have to say however that the Note has allowed me to revisit my passion in reading - in the last four months since I bought the Note, I have read over six books, one well over 7oo pages long. I find it an ideal device - late at night I can filter it to low light, late in the afternoon I can brighten it and change the font size to match my tired eyes. Being backlit makes it a versatile reader (unlike my partner's kobo which i find hard to adjust contrast on)

the Note will never be the perfect reader,but like Jerome said - it has versatility and that brings with it an amazing balance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ages_devil:
i tried a lot off apps for reading (pdf, epub)

i found that mantano reader is the best, it reads both(any many other formats)

using the night mode is better .. and i find that the note's size is almost perfect for reading, my ipod touch 3g was fine and so are many tablets, but the note's size is perfect imo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ish88an:
don't know

i did not use it for ebook reading but heard that it is one of the best for ebook reading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
I've been reading ebooks on my phones since my Sony Ericsson clamshell with 128x128 resolution and the Note is by far the most enjoyable experience. The only con is the display using so much battery that I have to use black backgrounds.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
It's a great book reader for text-only files, not for pdf's with equations. Text reflow mostly cannot show the equations correctly.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bartzeeland:
I bought the note as an all in one device. Surf the web, watch movies, read ebooks, take pictures, check and sometimes make a call. For each Seperate task you can find better devices, but the note can fo them all well. Btw i use fbreader.

Installing Moon+ Reader

Hi There ... I simply love the look of Moon+ Reader & would like to use it ... however ... When I try to download it I get the message ...

This app is incompatible with your Oman Mobile Samsung GT-N7000.

This item cannot be installed in your device's country.

My Android OS is 2.3.6

Any advice ?? Any workarounds ??

I'm having a similar problem with the Kindle Reader and B&N Nook for Android Reader too.

I have installed Aldiko & FBReader. Prefer FBReader between the two.

Rgds,

Prakash.

+1

I've been using Moon+ reader since I got my Galaxy S in June 2010.

It's even better on the Not's bigger screen.

I tried all of the readers I could find at the time and found Moon+ to be the best.

A lot of options though, so it may take a little to configure for your liking.

Also, get Calibre for your PC. makes managing and converting books real easy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] biscuitlad:
Thank you thank you - finally a decent magazine mashup app!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
that is correct..

I use Kindle and change to white on black for bedtime reading.. and turn brightness down to minimum, then no reading light is required..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nazcalito:
my plain old Galaxy S (4g) works great as an ebook reader so I imagine the Note would be even better. I've read all of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars books on my phone after the movie "John Carter" came out.

I found out that the BN nook app creates big useless margins on some books, which is not good on a small screen. I removed the copy protection from my commercial ebooks using a PC program called Calibre and use an app called Moon Reader to read them. The paid version of Moon Reader can read the books to you out loud using the phone's text to speech function.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
I use MoonReader+ with excellent results.

It even reads my books aloud!

ezPDF and Kindle app

The Note lends itself beautifully as a convenient eReader. I use the ezPDF and Kindle app. I had an iPhone 3GS prior to the Note and the difference between the two is the difference between night and day.

What I love about it is that whenever I'm having to wait for something, I can just whip out the note and catch up on my reading and easily put it back in my pocket when my turn comes. I regularly go to the coffee shop and I've seen people bring multiples devices with them. I saw on guy bring his iPhone 4 for making calls. Then he took his iPad for surfing, then he took out his mac book for sites that have Flash. The Note easily replaces all these devices with something that can easily drop in a man's shirt pocket.

As far as I'm concerned, this phone was money well spent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Yup, the Note takes away the urge to have multiple devices. I no longer use my tablet or e-reader.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toxicthunder:
Moon Reader is very good on the Galaxy Note. Other notable mentions would be Montana and Kindle.

Personally, Aldiko works fabulously well.

And if you're into reading digital comics - ComicRack and Perfect Viewer are ny far the best.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
I basically only read on my phone. I largely use the Kindle app, but for the few books I can't find there, I use the Google Books app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] myself11:
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 and an Asus Transformer. I still own a HD2 and a Nook touch (e-ink). I think I can say I tried the most common screen sizes and technologies. I received my Galaxy Note today and it's the best and most complete e-reading device I have ever tried. Period.

It took 5 months for me to decide to go forward and buy the Note, because I don't like Samsung's screens due to intense brightness and over-saturated colors. I feared that it was too bright and that it would stress and strain my eyes, as I'm a bit sensitive.

But fortunately, even though Note has indeed a high low brightness level, with black background and gray letter it's really pleasant to read on it. My rooted Nook Touch is great, but Note has my preference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I'm using Kobo. As long as it is capable of importing epub's, has an online store and night mode, i'm a happy camper.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TempusFudgeIt:
Amazing that there are so many readers out there - all with pros and cons.

Thanks for the Moon + recommendation - I am now using it for ePubs and find the standard font on yellowish background very easy on the eyes.

Aldiko is still very good for PDFs and has been my preference for the last four months.

So - I will keep both of these in the arsenal. Others didn't work for me.:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
For me, it´s still mantano reader, that does the very best job by far!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] safilo:
Suffice for me as a ebook reader for short trip. Use and like the Aldiko app for this purpose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projectrally:
I'm a TV producer, and I often deal with a large number of interview transcripts. I use Pages to compile and export all my transcripts as one large ePub file with chapters as if it were a real book. I prefer reading them on my iPad using Apple's iBooks, which is fantastic for reading if you do lots of search, highlighting, and note taking in your ebook reader app. I've been searching for something that does those three tasks well for Android, and so far I'm not satisfied with anything. Aldiko and Moon+Reader are both pretty solid, but nothing I've found works nearly as well as iBooks, unfortunately. Honestly, the main reason I still have an iPad is for iBooks.

That said, when I'm reading for pleasure, I don't worry about note taking and search, and I've found the Note to be a fantastic size for casual eReading. In fact, eReading was one of the big reasons I bought a Note in the first place. It's the perfect size to read in bed, since you can hold it one-handed and flip pages with the volume rocker (in many apps). For casual eReading, I mostly use the Kindle App because their cloud support is fantastic and it works seemlessly on all of my devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] myself11:
The only flaw I encountered on SGNote is when e-reading pdf's. Without reflow, the text is a bit too small. For pdf's the best is indeed a 10 inches tablet.

I find Ebook app (com.samsung.ebook.reader - versionName=3.30201112161746) and installed it with superuser permissions in system/app and it works, but sometimes it show the message “Can’t open com.samsung.ebook.reader please try again”

Which could be the problem?

Can someone with original open firm please send me the original app (com.samsung.ebook.reader.apk) and the .odex file?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
The Galaxy Note comes with a Reader's Hub and Kobo reading app, but I have disabled this in favour of an installation of the Kindle app and Google Play Books app. I haven't brought any books and read them on my device yet. However, testing out a demo book, the Note is more than capable as an eBook reader. But, why would you buy one solely as an e-Reader?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] violentgoomba:
When it comes to ebook reading I think big is better. Reading on the note is nice but on my nook tablet the experience is better. Just my opinion, other people could be happy reading on the note and that's just fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bharat4ever:
I feel that the Note is adequate for reading ebooks. I use the Amazon Kindle app, and buy books off their store. Amazing readability and I can read them even when waiting at traffic signals...

After trying most of the android reader soft, I'm using moon+reader for books (very customizable, and customized, didn't like the defaults) and perfect viewer for comics. In landscape, the width of the screen is bigger than many standard size books.

So far, I've read 5 books and 7 comics in it, in fact this made my chinese tablet useless, so yeah... this device is a real swedish knife :P

Rogers infuse with infused 2.2.3, core B kernel currently. Never been able to get a solid lock... if I get lucky ill get accurate to 20 meters but it jumps around. with my old Acer liquid e I got instant locks and perfect street level tracking... am I the only one?

also, I've tried pretty much every modem, using j4 now. no difference between any of them.

Are you rooted?

What rom are you on?

And have you tried any of the GPS fixes on this site?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
my GPS has breen crap since the beginning.

It was only stock for a day.... maybe.. couldn't get locks with stock

tried rooted with infused, GPS still crap

now I'm on MIUI weekly, tried all the different modems and kernels.... still... SAMSUNG GPS CRAP!!!!

My wife has a captivate and she was running stock for almost a year, and I put MIUI on hers recently and she is now getting better locks.

As long as one of us has a decent working GPS I am happy.

Since owning this and doing research, it seems its a problem with the Samsung GPS... if that is the case... I will probably not be purchasing another Sasmung phone.. I like having a working GPS dammit!!!

My old HTC Aria would lock instantly indoors 99% of the time.. I'm actually starting to miss that tiny little phone... haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
Yes mines crap as well. Luckily I'm exchanging the phone for another infuse since its under warranty. I'll post if there is any difference. I doubt it though, Samsung gps isn't know for their performance. My old x10 xperia is getting lock in 1 - 3 sec indoors and even in the basement. The infuse is an embarrassment compared to the x10. The signal takes 30 secs or more to get a lock and when it does, it jumps around and makes navigation useless.

Yes, the stock Infuse's GPS is pathetic.

I'm on Miui and it seems to work very well (after the 1st lock). There are other ROMS where it also works much better.

IMHO, fiddling with all the gps settings and various market apps was too frustrating...they would all work for a day or so but eventually the poor GPS performance returned. So, I quit fiddling, found a rom I like and with a working GPS and stuck with it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ssa2204:
Live near Minneapolis and never really had that big of an issue with the GPS. It was noticeably slower to find and lock than my HTC Tilt. Just drove down to Kansas City, where I found while in Iowa I lost almost ALL GPS connectivity. Now down here in Kansas I have to be directly outside, takes about 10 minutes to get a lock, and even then is pathetically inaccurate. Been trying in my spare time several of these GPS fixes. The original one I tried, changing to supl.nokia.com actually would see sats quickly, but just never locked.

I really wish I had known just how bad the GPS is on this phone, along with the poor performance in general. I would have avoided this like the plague. Part of the reason we wanted these was for the large screens to use with GPS. Now I learn the GPS is unusable AFTER the return period has ended. Yay. Next phone will be HTC, and honestly maybe Windows one as well.
