Currently, I am working on book readers. The bookshelf contains all my books but it opens them in Aldiko. Holding down only gives me the option of opening in Aldiko.
If I open fbreader, then I can go to library and all my books are there also. I am not sure how I got them there, but I had to press on the books located on the SD card and eventually they showed up. I like fbreader the best and wish they would show up in the bookshelf. Again, hoping 2.2 does something here.
Neither, fbreader nor aldiko seem to have access to the dictionary. Speaking of dictionary, the IQ came with an english to german and not a regular dictionary. So I need to figure out how to access a dictionary. I have dictionary.com app but I have to leave the book to use it.
I loaded the kindle app but all my books are epub so it doesn't read any. I didn't want to try converting them but I might if it has a dictionary.
I also used calibre to transfer books I had already converted to epub for my Sony. It worked fine other than it did not recognize the IQ; I just have to select the directory and then it worked fine. It was easier just to copy and paste than to the SD card than use calibre.
I have just started playing with the Newspapers APP and I like it. This is one of the reason I bought the IQ, getting newspapers and magazines took time to put on my Sony using calibre.
I tried the dolphin browser and Opera Mini but went back to the IQ browser. It seemed a little easier to use; however, I will go back and look at them once I understand them better.
No I don't know how to install the firmware, but the site says coming soon. I assume I am going to lose everything when I do.
Even though this seems challenging, I like it much better than other options because it lets you setup things the way you want versus being limited to their whims. Still new to android but learning quickly.

Hmm, not sure how to help you on the ebook reader problem you're having. I haven't installed any readers yet. I've just been using the default PocketBook reader.
Is the Newspapers App on the IQ already? Or did you have to download it? That sounds like something I'd love to have. I don't see it on my IQ anywhere.
I also tried Dolphin and Opera Mini. I liked Dolphin the best. I had a lot of trouble working with Opera because it just would not go to links I press upon. It just wouldn't recognize my finger presses. Dolphin works a lot better for me, and actually the default browser seems to work the best as far as clicking on links goes.
Email your seller and make sure they put the retail firmware from November 20 on your IQ. If they did not, ask for the link to the firmware and instructions. It's very easy and I did it to my IQ with no trouble whatsoever. I don't know if you'll lose everything on the IQ when doing a firmware upgrade. I upgraded mine as soon as I pulled it out of the box.
