I use the "adb" command from
Android Studio.
Install Android Studio (or just the command line tools from the installer near the bottom of the linked page). Then connect your ereader to the PC with a USB cable. USB drivers for most Android devices are included, so you should then be able to type "adb shell" at a command prompt and get a prompt for your device.
Here's what it looks like if I connect to my phone:
Quote:
C:\>adb shell
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
shell@surnia_cdma:/ $
|
If that works, type "exit" to return to the C:\ prompt. Change directory to wherever the APK file is located and type "adb install
whatever.apk".
There are a number of gotchas and minor details that can cause things to fail. If you get part way and something doesn't work, let us know and we can probably work through it.
