Could a nice person from the US pull the Google books apk and upload it for us guys across the pond?

I dont really like getting apks off random sites what with malware etc, and could only find the mobile version on xda. Thanks I'll try this though.

Hmm that website wouldn't work for me anyway.

stuntdouble - yeh I trust you so went to download it but the website kept giving me some rubbish about already downloading a file or something, thanks though

Dufran3 - thanks but doesn't seem to be the correct version? Its displaying like the mobile version on my tablet, I was after landscape 2-page reading with nice renderscript animation, unless I'm missing a setting somewhere..?

Ill try and download the one stuntdouble posted again and give that a go

That is the Phone version of google books.

I was under the impression that the only tablet version of Google books was the one on the Xoom and that the apk on the Xoom was odexed. Additionally the odexing on the Xoom uses an opcode that [bak]smali currently can't handle (hence can't odex)

If the US transformer comes with Google books I'd be interested to see it. But I didn't think it did. If it does, does it also come with Android Movie Studio? Because I really want to play with that.

If you go the development section of this forum there's a ROM called PRIME! v1.2 that includes the tablet version of Google books from the stock US transformer ROM. You could just flash that ROM or unzip the ROM and push or copy system/app/BooksTablet.apk to your transformer.

Ah good idea. I'll give that a go and if it works ok will upload it and post here
Thanks


Edit - here is the apk for anyone else who wants it, I just copied it to /system/app with root explorer but you can push with adb as well. Really nice app I hope they expand the Google Books service to Europe soon.

Thank you, I don't know what was different about your .apk, but it worked. I had a different copy of the tablet apk but it always said "application not installed" when I tried to install it. I have the Acer A500 but I deleted the app and when I wanted it back I had all kinds of problems finding it.
