I have Moon+reader installed on one of my tablets and would like to install it on my others, but for some reason I can't find it in the Play store anymore. The only version I see is in the Amazon App store, but it is the paid version. Anyone know what is going on?
Also for the syncing to DB, do I have to copy my books to DB, or does it just sync your reading position to DB. Sorry if this question has been asked, but it is not clear to me. Thanks for help in advance. |

I have only just started using moon+ (paid version) and the dropbox syncing is a bit confusing syncing reading position works great if the book exists in the library of all your devices reading a new book (gets uploaded to DB no problem) but the other devices don't automatically download it, this I assumed would be automatic lots of options so still checking to see if I have missed something |

I have it installed on my galaxy note 10.1 and even on this device, it will not show up under "All apps" in Google Play. Works fine on note though. I tried searching on my pc and I can not find Moon+reader in the Play store at all.

You're correct Moon+ Reader is currently missing from Google Play. I hope it is temporary.

I think you will need separate dropbox accounts to sync different reading positons for each person if you are reading the same book. MR stores the high lights, bookmarks and notes in files based on book name. You could easily keep a copy of the same books on two different drop box accounts or if you never read the same books then you could use one dropbox account but MR can't differentiate between readers only between Dropbox accounts.

I currently have v1.8.11 installed. Since I purchased it through Google Play if Google has removed it then there won't be any simple updates, backups or reinstalls. This isn't the only app that this has happened to. I had another app that I had to purchase from Amazon because Google killed it. I went online and grabbed a copy of the APK in case I need to reinstall it in the future.

Got a response from the developer that said pretty much what DoctorOhh's post said regarding the quote from Moon's site. It's interesting that the dev didn't mention that the app was still available via Amazon app store.
From the Moon+Reader site, scroll down to "Download New Version". That's interesting too. Here is google's translate of the Russian text in the Moon post. Electronic books of popular authors. For example, books Darya Series. Also available for the application, which is built in pirate sites. Free books are available in two clicks. ) For those that linked DB to Moon, Moon has "full access" to your DB account. Just sayin. |

Moon+ is back in the Play store today. Half price for Pro to celebrate this, during February 2013.
But 1katie23 brings up an interesting point: The app -like other apps that have Dropbox access!- has full Dropbox access. That is, the app can read and write in ANY folder of Dropbox. Of course it needs to write and read in its own folder, when it syncs. But why in ANY other folder? It looks to me like a dropbox policy, for the moment, because other apps that use dropbox have the same permissions. What would be the point anyway for an app to read or write in any other folder than its own? The developer has no access to your Dropbox access data, as far as I understand things. These data are stored somewhere on you device, but no PERSON has (legally) access to these data? |

The Dropbox API does actually have an "App Folder" access level which does just that - it grants access to a single folder within dropbox just for that app, instead of full access to your whole dropbox. It's had the feature for a while, and I'm amazed that more apps don't use it.
I can understand a file manager or content sync app needing full access, but it's just what something like Moon+ should use! I have E-mailed the creator of Moon+ and requested that he add support for "App Folder" dropbox access, instead of "Full". Here's hoping he is willing to implement it! |

Hi All, while you're waiting for an answer from the creator of Moon+ i use the following method to get books into my Nexus 7 ereader app.
I use dropbox on my PC to synch the Calibre library folder on my NAS to my dropbox account then use DropSync on my tablet to sync with the books folder on the device. This way i've got an up to date copy of my Calibre library on my device at all times and can import books to the reader at will without the need to grant the reader app any un-necessary permissions to drop box. I'm still looking for an android app that will simply read the library direct from my nexus without me needing to manually import titles though EDIT: I found reference to FBReader elsewhere on the forum, it does the job admirably Last edited by Derrin; 02-26-2013 at 03:44 PM.
