Ways to input APK to Android eReader?

[Times]

So I have an Android 4.4 eReader called the Good eReader, I don't have a manual and can't find one either. (if anyone has this device please share)

Whenever I try to use their android store(called good ereader store) I get stuck on downloading 0%. None of the apps download.

I then tried to download an APK and put it on the device but it doesn't seem to want to open or install. Not sure how to do it on Android 4.4


Please help!

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:

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.

If you installed adb on your computer you can install the application without the need to copy it to your device with

adb install your-app.apk
