@Gerlando,
Sorry man, there is no search option, it’s on my todo for future.
Hi is there a way to do a search in playepub? I have a cookbook that’s pretty close to impossible to navigate without a search function. Thanks.
@Sergey,
Thanks for your feedback!
There is no way right now to change colors, they are predefined. I add it to my TODO and I’ll look form some solution.
I’ll send you the file by email to translate to russian 🙂
Hi!
Thank you for very close to perfect reader for PB! Only thing i want to ask – adjustment profiles. I like to read green text on black page, but “night” profile has white text and i can’t find where change it.
And i can try to translate it to russian.
WBR,
Sergey
@Darren,
you need a subscribed Instapaper account (paid) to let third party apps read your data.
You can try Pocket, same funcionality forma free.
I have tried numerous times but cannot log into my Instapaper account. The error message always states “Username or Password incorrect”.
I would love to use this feature.
Please help.
I finally got them loaded via email but I was trying to get them over using my usb cord connected from pc to blackberry. Selecting book and send to device and nothing would go because the main choice was greyed out.
@Bea,
How are you trying to transfer them?
@neet,
I have one idea…
Have you deleted any folder on your playbook? I think this issue could be related to have removed last visited folder on PlayEpub, it tries to load it again and it fails.
I have suddenly stated getting an error in the Play epub App on playbook that it cannot read the shared files. I checked the security – applications and the app has the permission for accessing the File System and Microphone
Please help.
I cannot seem to get books to transfer over to my Blackberry from Calibre.
Calibre is installed on my Imac computer. I have them in both Mobi format and epub format.
Can you help?
Since I reported the bookmark problem I also notice that it works on some pages and not others. And example of a Page where it does not work is at chapter 7 Page 21/25 27%. The text is “They
trudged through the snow to the main entrance.”
@Kanwal,
What’s the issue you have opening it? Any message?
I can open it fine, but it only has cover page, no text content on it. But it opens fine.
I am not able to open these epub books in my Blackberry playbook using the Play Epub app.

Sample file attached.
@MVS,
Can you see your playbook folders on playepub’s file browser? If yes, can you browse through your folders?
My playbook will not recongize .mobi or epub files. What do I do? Security is set to allow files.
@Robby,
I understand.
Is your book and epub file?
Footnotes work as links in an epub, click on the (*) and go to there. Do your (*) have links? Have you tried a long tap?
Many books are not well designed and don’t have links on them, I have some books with and some other without.
Thanks for the reply. What I meant buy footnotes is some book will have an asterisk after a word or paragraph. The asterisk is pointing to something on the bottom of the pages. Such a referencing another page, book, or document. But in digital books it is at the end of chapter.
I can see the asterisk but clicking it does not send me to the “footnote”. I have to flip to end of chapter to get to the footnotes.
Thanks again
@Greg,
Could you please tellme some page examples where bookmark fails? I’ve made some tests and the work fine.
@Wei,
This is this way because it has to be repainted to react to rotation actions and size changes (when minimizing).
I’m studing other ways of painting that would not require this reload and would be fast, but it’s still on research phase 🙂
Hey, love your app! One comment is that whenever I switch out and then back to your app via Playbook swipe gesture, the chapter seems to have to be reloaded, as I see the text quickly get repaginated. Can this be avoided?
@Robby,
I’ll study your 1 and 2 suggestions.
About 3rd, what do you mean with footnotes?
@Joe Z,
What mail provider do you use? I’ve tested many but some might fail.
Instapapper sync requires a subscription account (paid) in order to let third party apps access your articles. Do you have one of them?
Finaly, tap on book title when reading to show title bar again and go to main screen.
@Christine D,
What format are those books?
Can you attach one of those files?
@Ian,
The dictionary..
Just select the word you want to find, select dictionary, language, search and wait, it’s slow!
@Greg,
Let me do some tests. I’ll tell you something asap.
Hi guys!
Sorry for the delay, I’ve been on holiday.
I’ll try to solve your issues ASAP.
First I like to say I love this app. I use it almost daily. I always come back to this one but I do have two on my playbook. I tell my wife if they would combine the features I would be doing back flips I would be so happy.
Suggestions…
Is it possible to get to the link in books with out holding and then hitting link button. So let would hit link and it would just go.
Is it possible to make links a different color also.
Is it possible to link to the footnotes directly.
Thanks again for a great product.
Robby
I just downloaded a couple of issues running under OS 2.1.0560
1. Unable to setup email, clicking test just produces busy icon. Never completes. Settings are known good and I am using with other applications
2. Instapaper does not login with known good credentials
3. When reading a book the title/menu bar disappears and I can’t navigate back to the bookshelf
Hi, I used Book Reader before which converted all my books and saved them in its own library. Now I cannot see nor access these books using this reader, though they are already on my tablet. I thought that these books would have automatically added. How can I see these books? Any solutions? Please help! Tell me there is an easy way to resolve this.
How does dictionary work?
Hi, I have attached the epub that I’m have the bookmark problem with. I can add bookmarks no problem. When I want to delete it adds another one instead of giving the option to delete.
Thanks

@Jim,
Thanks man! for the feedback and the review 🙂
That’s the correct behaviour right now, it has to completely load the chapter before displaying current page.
Maybe I should do some improvement like hiding any page until chapter is loaded, that “flash” would disappear.
I add it to my TODO 🙂
Great app , but when I go into app to read the my latest book it flashes up to the start of the chapter then goes to the last page which I left it, is there any other way to mark the last page before I close the app down ?.
Love the app and all the upgrades , have left a review and gave it 5 stars.
Thank you
@Juan Martin,
Así es, soy español 🙂
Lo tengo en lista de pendientes, pero para ser sincero, no será algo inmediato ya que inicialmente no desarrollé la aplicación pensando en que fuese multiidioma y ahora me toca modificar todo 😛
Probablemente comience a traducir poco a poco despues del verano, primero unas pantallas, luego otras, etc… A medida que tenga cosas traducidas iré publicandolo ya que si espero a tenerlo todo no saldría hasta final de año.
Estimado Jesus,
Acabo de adquirir su app Playepub para mi BB Playbook y estoy encantado con ella.
Por eso me preguntaba, al ver que su nombre y apellido son españoles, si va usted a sacar proximamente una traduccion al castellano.
Si así fuera, la detectará mi Playbook?
Gracias por su atención.
Saludos
Juan Antonio Martín
@RobA,
Added to my future features list 🙂
On the topic of selection highlighting, could you use a colour other than blue when in “night mode”? I would suggest yellow, as the blue is very hard to see when overlayed on the dark background.
@Mike Labadie,
I have no words… My wife and I got very pleased when we read it.
Comments like this make me work harder.
There is nothing I can say, it’s all in your comment.
I’m so happy for your wife.
I’ll take a look to your suggestion, I’m sure I can do something to improbe reading experience to people with mobility issues. Clicking the button on headset would be great, but I think I won’t be able to catch that click on Playbook, I’ll study it. I’ll look for some solution. You have probably more knowledge about how this kind of things have been solved in any other devices or tools, I’d like to hear any idea you have, I’m definitely open to any solution.
Thank you very much for such a feedback.
Kindly,
Jesus
@Greg,
That’s the correct flow, it should have worked.
When you select again the text, the star icon should have a “cross” giving the idea of removing. I’ll take a look but it also could be related with that book.
Please, send it to me and let me test.
@Randy Barkman,
I understand what you mean. I’ll try to find a solution. Maybe an “info” menu entry on long tap menu over a file could be the easiest solution. What do you think?
I love your reader!
And, my wife LOVES your ereader.
She has not been able to read a book without extreme difficulty since she washit by an suv almost 20 years ago. When she reads, the words shift, seem to go out of focus… It would take her two or three tries to read a single sentence.
We have JUST now determined that it must be the contrast of the text… When she reads it on YOUR reader’s Sepia setting, she CAN READ IT with no problem! She is still slower than 20 years ago, before the accident,but SUCH an improvement… And she is no longer frustrated or in PAIN while reading!
Thank-you for giving her a big part of her life back.
We HAD been buying audiobooks, but they are VERY expensive, and out of our price range right now… So thank-you!!!
I do have a feature request though! I am left handed, and she has pain issues that makes it hard to keep doing the same movement over and over.
Would it be possible to add a menu to change the various touch controls? Ie being able to change pages by tapping the right AND left sides of the screen!?!
Or, possibly even more useful for a larger groupof people who have mobility or pain issues: could you possibly figure out how to change pages by ‘clicking’ the button on a wired headset?!?! That would mean minimal movement for someone in pain, or with extreme mobility issues. It would also make my ‘leftyness’ not be an issue anymore.
I hope you might be able to add this feature, and VERY much appreciate all the work you have put into this program (and CONTINUE to put in.)
Thank-you
Michael and Roxane.
Left side is books and right side is browse but the titles are sometimes too long to read. Is it possible to pick the center between them to move the book half to the left leaving more space to read the titles?
I have tried Deleting a bookmark by using the same process as adding, but all I end up doing is adding multiple bookmarks on the same text. I’m sure it’s just something I’m doing but I can’t figure it out.
To Add, I tap and hold. Then the Icon menu pops up and some text where I was holding is highlighted. I press the “Star with a plus” icon and the bookmark it added.
If I repeat this process, tap and hold where the hi-lighted text is. The same text gets re-hi-lighted, and if I then press the Star icon, a new bookmark is created. Is there something I’m missing to delete it?
Thanks
@Giuseppina D’angelo,
I’ll see for some solution regarding your first comment.
Regarding second, well, it’s not so easy, most people select text for adding notes, highlights or copy/send to facebook, it will be slower having to first select one word and then the sentence. I’ll put it under study anyway, I might find a soution.
I have one question and one suggestion concerning the translator.
Is there a way to set the language you want to translate to ,without having to scroll and select it all the time ?
Also when looking for definitions of a word it’s time consuming having to deselect the sentence and highlight the word. Shouldn’t it be the other way around where you can first select the word and then select the phrase ? Since the dictionary and translator of a word will be used more often than selecting a full sentence.
Thank you.
@Lauren,
That sounds as if your drm-removal app is in demo mode and can not extract everything.
It’s not an issue with the book, you can open and read it, it’s with removal tool.
Hello, I had to download drm removal and now the books work but they are in demo format and I’m missing alot of chapters is there any way to fix this so I’m not losing out on money?
@Nello Khan,
Yes, port 995, using ssl.
But I know there is an issue with Live servers.
I’ve solved it, I will publish a new release probably this week with the fix among other things.
I am trying to set up email in my PlayEpub but i get an Error Connecting.
Email address is [email protected]
I am using Pop3 address as pop3.live.com
Is this correct?
