Yesterday, we released a new update for the Aldiko Book Reader app which added some new features and improvements, one of the new functions is that you can read or import your eBooks directly from some third party apps, such as Dropbox, Gmail (for PDF files) etc. Here is how to do it:
Take Dropbox as an example, first, open Dropbox app on your phone or tablet, locate the eBook file that you want to read or import, the format of the file can be either PDF or EPUB.
Select an eBook file and you will see the “Complete action using” pop-up window. If you want to read the book immediately, you can select “Read with Aldiko”. If you would like to import the file into your library in the Aldiko Book Reader and read it later, select “Import to Aldiko”. We recommend you to select “Import to Aldiko” option because when your book is imported into Aldiko, Aldiko will remember your reading position, bookmark etc. “Read with Aldiko” option will not do this. Below we select “Import to Aldiko”
After selecting “Import to Aldiko”, the book will be automatically imported and you will see a “New Content” window and your book at the end. Now you can quit the Aldiko Book Reader. Next time when you come back, you will see your new book right in your library, just go ahead to enjoy reading! If you would like to read or import files from a website or Gmail client (PDF files), the procedures are the same as above.
If you would like to know more tips and tricks in the future, please let us know in the comments, or go to Aldiko Support to learn more.
P.S.: if you don’t see this funtion in the app, please check if you are using Aldiko Book Reader version 2.1.0 (tap the MENU key while you are at the home screen of the app, then select “Settings”, you can see the version number under “About”) Currently the new update is available for Premium users only, Free version users will get it soon.
