Am I crazy?
Ok, my wife wants to download an ebook from the local library. I want her to download directly onto the Vox placing the book on our external sd card. This seems rather simple. But I have been reading all these complex operations in order to do this simple task, like:
Aldiko

You can use the Aldiko Book Reader to read eBooks borrowed from public libraries. To do so,
(1) Go to your local public library’s website on your computer, select any eBook in Adobe ePub or
Adobe PDF format, check out and then download the eBooks files. Normally, libraries will offer you an
acsm file for each eBook.
(2) Put the acsm file in the SD card of your device.
(3) Download and install a file manager app called "ASTRO" from the Android market. Use the file
manager app to locate the acsm file.
(4) Tap on the acsm file in the file manager app. If you have verified your device with an Adobe ID
already, the eBook will be automatically downloaded and imported into your bookshelf in Aldiko. If
you haven’t verified your device with an Adobe ID before before, you should see a pop-up window
which asks you to authorize your device with an Adobe ID. After authorization, the eBook will be
automatically downloaded and imported into your bookshelf in Aldiko.
Why, if the library book is a Epub same as my Kobo books, is it so difficult to carry out this task? Why do I need Aldiko, as the Vox runs excellent with its default reader? I load all by personal files on to mt external sdcard and ASTRO reads them all to me via docs to go. I have Overdrive i my Vox so why does it not do what ASTRO does for my library books? Am I crazy?
