In several threads in this forum,many users(especially book addicts:D) need the Samsung Ebook APP for android ICS(or HC maybe?) but never get a proper,fully functional result.but this thread is to end their worries about the loss and perhaps will be an end to that problem...
It's simple:just download the APP files and follow the instructions and ENJOY!;)

There will be two posts that will follow: one for Honeycomb and the other for ICS...

News: a new Q&A section is likely to be created in each of the following posts!

For Honeycomb:


There are two files:the one that is in the attachment is flashable with CWM recovery but doesn't have the APP's data,the data must be downloaded through WiFi.
Use the second file only if your device is rooted and you have Titanium backup installed.just pu the folder "Titanium backup" in the root of your tablet's storage and restore the APP using Titanium.this file is accessible here:

Please tell me if the link is broken...

This Book reader also seems to satisfy some users,I've not tested it on ICS though:

Yes,maybe,if you have stock HC or ICS installed on HC...but most users have experienced issues with non-stock ROMs,this is for them:D

I really want to try the Samsung ebook reader but having trouble installing. My tablet is stock hc3.2 and non-rooted and have the Samsung appstore loaded on the Tab. When I try to install, the Samsung App jumps to Google Play and says not compatible with any of my devices (HTC Incredible 2, Nook Color (rooted) and Tab). :(

Anybody have any ideas how to install with out being rooted.

Thanks in advance

Yes,that's easy if you're familiar with Odin...do the following(voids warranty,no root):
Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/
Download "recovery.tar.md5","bootloader.tar.md5","boot-cm...hc32..."
Flash the first two files with Odin,go into CWM and flash the third file...
Grab the "Ebook.zip" from the Honeycomb post in this thread(attachment),transfer the zip to your device and flash it with CWM...
Now you have stock 3.2 Ebook APP without root...launch it and in Samsung APPs press "Get",after completion press "Launch",the APP is in your device:D

Edit:for your Google play issue,I must say that if you log in with a banned/embargoed google account it shows "You do not have any devices",I have the same problem...hate and love Google play at the same time...:)

Download the zip from Honeycomb section,extract it,in the extracted folder go to "\system\app\"" and install "Ebook.apk",launch it,download it's data,done...

Information:the only benefit of flashing the zip package was to have Ebook installed as one of the system APPs that can't be uninstalled,there's no need to flash it otherwise...I should have said this,sorry...

Arashtarafar, Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the APK but when I try to run the app, I get a message that "Service will be available soon" and nothing happens.

When I go into the Samsung App Center, it must recognize that it is installed cause I can "Delete" the application.

That's because that app is only a shell so to speak. Try this one Book reader apk :cool:

Thank you for finally getting me this working copy. I looks very similar to Aldiko but with a few extra features. Everyone keeps raving about this reader so I'm giving it a shot. thanks again.

I already notice a couple of differences
  1. No cover images when importing
  2. Can't add my Calibre library as a store
