GRRRRRRRRRRRR

kobos downloading tho............3rd choice

 

hmmmmm 2 issues with this

 

1: it DOESNT seem to have an option to import your own books

2: it seems to rely on the internet connection, to the extent you cant even start the app unless your connected to the internet.........what happens if i have no internet one month and want to read a book..........i cant

 

im really starting to hate all this cloud computing stuff, same with downloading games for the pc online they seem to all expect to instantly install, i like to have a file / files i can save for later not use the internet to reinstall later

are you using the appkiller? the appkiller is useless and drains the battery at an alarming rate. also, when youre running off wifi, turn off the mobile network. Basically, turn off the settings youre not using.

Is it possible for me to send an app to you from my phone? If anyone knows how to do this I could send you Laputa.

 

Edit - PM me your mob number and I'll give it a go via my app sharer if you want.

File Expert, easy to use and you can access and share all your phones files from you web browser through your wifi connection.

Kobo does import books. Open it, then touch the 'menu' key on the bottom of your phone to access a menu of tools, including 'import'. Also, it can be used offline; I use it all the time.

Hi folks,

This may be old news but I just found the Teamviewer app for Android. Great for remote support while on the move.

I also found Firefox is now available...... I have sync'd the Firefox app with my desktop and it imports the history, tabs and bookmarks. Pretty darn useful for me.
