Looking for Readers hub APK (Tab Version of KOBO specifically)

Hey first off, great site, been a droid phone user for a long time, but found this forum searching for tab info and im digging this site.

Im looking for KOBO for the tablet (not the kobo app available in the market). I don't know if i accidentally deleted it thinking it was bloatware or if it's a UK only app (i read both not really sure which is true)

I found a couple people on this forum looking for exactly the same thing, but all the links posted did not work...

I really really need the KOBO tab app, but if you have the whole readers hub that would be great as i would love to try it out. I will gladly share any of my apps if you are looking for a US version of something, or if you need some verizon bloatware ive got plenty of that!

Thanks for the help, and HUGE thanks to all the devs!

If you're on a US carrier, the kobo app is not included. So as the readers hub. If you installed kono by itself it won't show on the app drawer. You have to create a short cut for the app using launcher pro.

But if you want kobo to be on your app drawer you will have to install readers hub + kobo. It will show readers hub on your app drawer then you open it and inside you will see kobo.

The spk for both kobo and readers hub is on the "themes and apps" section.

Ok great, thanks so much for that info. Did alot more searching and finally found it, it was named Zinio which is the magazine app which made it hard to find but if anyone is looking for it here is the link.

But now my question is on the mobile version it had an "import" button to upload your ebooks into it. I tapped the menu key on all pages but i don't see an import. Is this done by uploading your epub files into a folder?

Also i saw plenty of videos which showed this app has animated turning pages this does not and it is defintely the tablet version, i am certain of it. I don't get how they can advertise KOBO on american TV and then not include it on the US version. I can't stand how these carriers ruin something good. So frustrated right now, never had such a hard time with freaking ebooks!

Zinio is for magazines. Kobo is the ebook reader.

I am aware of that, the zip i linked has the entire readers hub inside zinio, kobo the newspaper and the hub itself (dont know why the zip was named zinio). The kobo file included is def not the version available in the market but wont let me import and for some reason doesnt have the animated page turn. Seems like the right version but maybe its outdated or something? Because its not the same as the one in the market ans not the same as the videos ive seen of it running on the tablet.

Thanks again for all the help

The one advertised on tv is eBook. That's the one with page turning. Not sure it's on all the American versions.

Hey clovis, i see you asked the person who posted the ebook.apk file how to install it. I can't for the life of me figure it out, tried with installers, putting it in system/app, and just a regular apk install, just can't get it. Did you have any luck with it?
