Supplementary question: has anyone used VLC for Android on the Nexus 7? I see (@ VideoLAN forums) that it is available. _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Friday, Septe

:-) I no longer use kobo The news feature of the calibre + it's library management has sold me. I'm now using the amazon kindle reader. I've put the the library in my dropbox as it says when installing that it will use a given library of it finds one. So I'm going to see if I can run it from m

Re: [OT] Nexus 7

I use Aldiko on an Android tablet. The killer feature for me was the fact that I could adjust the brightness by sliding my thumb up and down the left-hand side of the screen. Not sure if any other apps have this now but at the time it was something I sorely needed. AFAIK Aldiko has no "store" it's

RE: [OT] Nexus 7

Preet - I have only used the Kobo application for Windows (for a tech publication that I bought - written by Mal Bryce), and I thought it was diabolical. I haven't researched the available eReader software for the Nexus 7 - I assumed I could get a range of free eReader apps that suit the various fo
