I'd like to see some tweaks for tablets, things like: smaller images in Library view, 2 column option in landscape, etc. And yes, ability to open an .epub/.pdf from Bluefire regardless of where it is located would be nice (having to put things in /mnt/sdcard/Bluefire/imports/ seems a little weird but I'm relatively new to Android and don't know what the conventions look like yet.

Bluefire is the only app that I've found (so far) that can 'verify loan' to open a library ePub that I downloaded previously with ADE on my desktop and moved over to Android storage. All the other Adobe RMSDK apps (including Overdrive) give an error.

However, Aldiko and Overdrive are the only apps (that I've found) that can open an .acsm file and fulfill the download. And then, only if I use a 3rd party file manager like Astro. None of the other Adobe RMSDK apps I have are available as choices (txtr, Mantano, Bluefire).

Ideally, I'd like to skip the ADE step and just download the .acsm on a computer, put it in my Dropbox folder, and choose the app for fulfilling after downloading to Android. Dropbox doesn't offer a way to choose an app for opening .acsm, however, so again I seem limited to using Astro and the 2 choices it gives me. Things are smoother on iOS...

Another example of weirdness: I can open .epub with Bluefire from Dropbox, but not from Astro: Bluefire doesn't appear on its list of apps that can open .epub. I tend to blame Astro for this and may have to look at a different file manager.
