Default Way to import downloaded ebooks into Google Books?

So I've downloaded some books in the .epub format and I'm trying to get them imported into the Google reader/books app because I really like the interface. But, I can't seem to figure out how to get them to show up in my library. Is there something I'm missing, like not putting them in a certain directory, wrong downloaded format, etc... any help is appreciated!

And please don't suggest any other book reading app haha.. I'm just looking for a solution to this one, thanks.

I assume you are talking about the LumiBooks app that came on our tablets. All you have to do is place your copied ebooks from your comp inot the Lumibooks folder on your A500. Start Lumibooks and they should show up. Hope that answers your question.

No, I am not talking about Lumibooks, I'm talking about the Google Books app. The app just labeled "books", with the books cover flow.

Yes I too would really love to know if this is possible.

The google books interface is very smooth.

Only thing missing is the ability to import your own books.

I can convert to any format using calibre but no idea if it's possible to get them into google books app.

Google doesn't support that, and gives no method to do so
