How do i turn on file sharing? I accidentally turned it off while installing. Tried installing and re-installing and it didnt work. Thanks.
@Sheri,
What do you mean with “file sharing”?
@Rory,
I’d start reading this on help
http://playepub.com/quick-help/reading-a-book/
What are the navigation commands within playepub? while im reading a book for example … thanks
I used iskysoft to transfer the pdf files into epub files. That worked and they load very fast. thanks.
@Stephanie,
1) PDF load is slow, depending on file size it will take more or less. You have to wait until loading indicator disappears.
2) Kobo books can only be read under kobo app, you can’t open them with Playepub.
You can send me your pdf file to test if you want, but keep into account it will take some time to load.
@MP,
Please, attach that book file and let me do some tests.
I have 2 questions: 1.I have just downloaded the app onto my new Blackberry Playbook. pdf files appear in the list, but when I want to open the files, each one starts loading but gets hung up, just a blank page. One set of files are pdf files, a Lonely Planet e- book I bought online , the other one is just a pdf file with some notes I created with open office.
2. I bought a book from Kobo and downloaded it directly onto my Playbook. I cannot see it in the PlayEPub app. So far I can’t open anything.
thanks for your help.
Hi,
I found that my playEpub app couldn’t convert the downloaded epub file in my playbook. As normal, when I select the file, the playEpub will transfer it to the library, after the percentage counting finished, the cover of the book will appear in the playEpub library. But now, when I select the file, nothing happened and it freezed, what is the problem of that?
Thanks for any answer.

@Jacquelyn,
Sadly, not much. Procesing dictionary info takes a lot and Playbook have some limitations in order to not block user interfaz. Until I find an alternative solution, there is nothing to do with it.
I am experiencing a long lag time with the dictionary on my bb playbook. Do you have any suggestions to trouble shoot this?
Thank you
How do I delete a book file from my library?
@Johnny Croft,
Make a long tap on a book and you will see the option.
Please see help for more info.
Upgrade is when you pay to get app.($1.99) where as update is when you are receiving any new changes. My messages says to upgrade for 1.8.30 for $1.99 again??
@Sarah,
From my point, when you pay is just purchase, new versions are updates or upgrades.
Anyway, from your messages, your issue is you are asked to pay for this update evendough you purchased my app (and paid for it) before.
Purchase, install and update processes are on RIM’s side, I can’t do anything to help you, I wish I could.
If you are asked to pay again I’d try refreshing AppWorld data as I told, I know this usually solves many problems upgrading. If it still does not work, contact AppWorld customer care.
@Sarah,
What do you mean with “upgrade”? I think what you say as upgrade is what I call update, isn’t it?
I realize UPDATES are FREE, but if you would have read the message properly I said UPGRADE. Twice you have answered my question in the same manner. Love you app. Not your bedside manner.
Just purchased PlayEpub for my 3 playbook tablets 2wks ago.
Do I have to pay every time a new version comes up?
Please let me know.
Regards
Daniel
@Sarah, @Daniel,
Updates are FREE.
It AppWorld asks you to pay again there might be a problem with your Blackberry Account or you could have changed your Blackberry account and now it’s different to the one you used to purchase.
You have to ask AppWorld customer care for that issue.
You can even try reloading your installed apps in AppWorld app, sometimes solve some issues.
I sent a message earlier about epub requesting I upgrade even though I have already paid for it last year. Is this BB or from your end??
Thx for the recent update which improved the links connection in the epub I sent you. It was a religious document which also has footnotes represented by an * these still do not work. Also when I go to the links manually there will be an ^ para number but these will not go back to the pages and paragraph reference in fact it generates an error. The error is the link does not exist in book #footnotesource1. You have file but I can send it again for your testing.
@Ray,
I’ll take a look!
I have already Paid for epub app. and now the new upgrade is asking me to pay again???? Is there something I am missing?
@Sarah,
Update is completly free.
Ask RIM support for any issue.
Sorry about my last question. I got mixed up b/w PlayePub and Overdrive.
I am looking for an eReader that will give me almost all the functionality that Nook or Kindle allow me for the ebooks of scriptures that I have.
I have ePub and mobi versions of all my books. What is important for me is that all the links that are allowed in Nook & Kindle for these books should be allowed in the reader.
Another very important feature in Kindle and Nook is that I am able to search for a word or phrase within a book and the search is automatically saved – so next time it does not have to search. Is such a feature available in your PlayePub software?
Regards
Sanjay
@Sanjay Goel,
You probably won’t find a Playbook reader with all of those features.
Playepub supports most of them, but it does not have, i.e., automatically aving searched terms.
Take a look at help for all features.
I just downloaded v2.6.2 for my playbook which has OS 2.1.1088 installed.
My main purpose is to use the app to read my scriptures which I have in ePub as well as mobi formats.
However, in the playbook I am unable to figure out how to add these files to Overdrive.
Using the laptop I copied one ePub file to overdrive\ODM as well as to overdrive\overdrive – but I am unable to see the book anywhere. It’s a non DRM book and am able to see the book in my kindle app but it has font issues (diacritics) – which is why I am looking for another app.
Regards
Sanjay
I have tried multiple times to install PlayEpub reader from BB App World to my BB Playbook, but it will not install and I keep getting “Error ID 11300”. What to do?
@Jim Keaarnes,
I’m not sure, but it seems RIM issues, have you tried contacting AppWorld customer care?

@Angie,
Swipe your finger left/right to change between shelves and file browser.

From this page
OK, that worked.
Thanks,

I agree there was a problem with installation – it didn’t happen. Just downloaded and then stopped.
How can I re-install a programme I can’t find?
To do that I would have to pay to start all over again, with no guarantee of success.
I know it is only $1.99, but I am not prepared to pay even that little amount if it won’t work next time either.
@Michael Moore,
From AppWorld, go to my world and delete Playepub, then install again, you don’t have to pay twice.
Tried that, but no Playepub icon appears.
@Michael Moore,
Then I’d tried reinstalling, there must be an issue with your installation.
I just bought the app for my Playbook, it seemed to download OK, but now I can’t find it on my unit. Where has it gone?
@Michael Moore,
Try swiping your finger left/right up/down on your playbook desktop, on your app icons.
@Angie,
From where?
From reading mode tap on title to show bar with home button.
From full screen browser, swipe left-right to change between modes.
I am having trouble getting back to the main Page, the shelves where the books are. How do I get back there?
@Alan Hollister,
Some people seem to have fixed this error refreshing your installed apps on AppWorld app.

I have repeatedly tried to download upgrades to playepub but always get an error message. I have no proplem downloading other apps and wonder if I should unistall playepub then reinstall it.
@Alan Hollister,
Which error number do you get?
Please I feel really stupid, but I can’t figure out how to get books onto my bbpb. I open it on my computer and load the epubs into the ‘books’ folder. When I disconnect and open playepub, it detects two of the older books I donwloaded for a different ereader, but not my latest ones. All my security is set to allowed. On my other ereader there is a button for ‘get books’. I can’t find anything like that on here, it just says download your books and get started. Am I missing something? Many thanks for your help! x
@rebekah,
Have you browsed from Playepub’s file browser to your books folder?
Enjoying the “app”. Just downloaded a large humber of books. Is there any way of moving them all at one time from the files to the “book shelves”? How do I toggle back and forth between the files and the book shelves?
GRS
@Geoff,
Put all your books in one folder and then, on Playepub, make a long tap over that folder and “Import all”.
To switch between modes, just swipe left right on main screen.
Not to compare your app to any other app, but I have seen where you can make notes or other marks on the actual page. Like a star or an * or () or #. I do a lot of studying with this app on my PlayBook. Instead of just highlighting or adding notes to a separate page, I would like to be able to see a mark I made to give me a visual reminder. Even if the reminder is to look in the notes. Again, just a bonus for me. Thanks.
@Jaquelyn,
Please, tellme a sample of apps doing that, I can not figure it.
@Jacquelyn,
No no, don’t worry, I’m not offended! I like to have feedback!
Regarding “marks”, it would be good to have more details on what you’d like and see what I can do in a future.
Regarding links, what does that error message say?
You seem offended. I did not mean to offend you. Yes, I have managed with “notes” so far so I guess I can continue to manage without a problem. I just mentioned that I would like to be able to make different marks and underline on the actual page in front of me instead of in the notes box as an added bonus to an already great app. As for the links, there is an option to tap for the link but it has an error message that comes up. Again I have managed to just turn the pages to get the the footnote info so I guess that I can just continue to do so. Again, thanks!
@Jacquelyn,
Well, I think there are “mark” options enough, I don’t think adding another one is going to be useull. Can’t you manage with notes?
What kind of issue are you having with footnotes links? They should work fine if the link exists within the book.
As I have mentioned before I LOVE this app. I use it several times a day, every day. I was wondering if you could provide a way for this app to include being able to not just highlight but also be able to underline and make certain marks such as “()” and *. Just to name a couple. Also I would like to be able to go to a footnote or reference using the link provided on the page or in the paragraph. These are just some suggestions that someone who is already a fan would appreciate. Thanks!
Le programme est intéressant mais, il y a des bogues quant on souligne du texte dans un livre, avec le temps on a l’impression que le fichier deviens lourd et on a de plus en plus de misère à tourner les pages car délais pour avoir la page suivante deviens trop long.
Deuxièmement, quand on veut aller voir une référence au milieu d’un. Chapitre, le programme nous emmène au début des références du chapitre et non directement sur la référence demandée.
Si vous pouvez améliorer ces éléments, cela serait vraiment apprécié.
Merci
@Priscille,
Could you please say that again in english?
It’s working fine now.
Question : when I rename a file in downloads I can no longer find the file (the book is still on the shelf however). Where can I find the file?
@Mark,
Sorry for the delay.
Is not your renamed file there? Did you changed file extension?
I was wondering if you had a fix for the hyperlinks in the epub file I sent you? I would really like to get using it. This was the problem that a religious article with scripture links won’t take you to the property reference. Also how to you prevent all the emails not related to your problem from being sent to you?
@Ray,
Of course man. I’m working on it using your book for testing as it’s very special.
Next release will improve a lot this “going to link” feature.
Just bought your ereaded and it isn’t downloading books. I tried from gutenburg but no luck. Help please.
@Mark leakos,
There are some intermitent issues updating the download %, but books get downloaded, just wait some time and look into downloads folder.
Thanks, got it now.
Question : how do you move a book in a collection back into the main bookshelf without deleting the entire collection?
Thanks.
@Peter,
Drag and drop the book into the upper left corner, the X to close the collection, the book will be moved into the parent collection.
@ZZ,
Try my email, not sure if it’s going to work.
osus[at]osusnet.com
Tried again, same result. Tried one file of approx 10Mb.
@ZZ,
Try again.
If it does not work… are those files very large?
