move freda book files to skydrive?

SteveBMe · 10-25-2013, 04:26 PM

Hello All.
I'm a 2 yr user of Freda's WP7 program on my old HTC Trophy, with WP7.5, and have just changed over to the Galaxy Note 2, with Android's Jelly Bean.
I have numerous books that I've downloaded over the past couple of years, and I'd REALLY like to be able to upload them to my skydrive account so that I can access them on my Note.

While I could just redownload them again, from another source, it's a tedious task I'd rather avoid.

Does anyone know how I would be able to accomplish this? If more info is desired/required, please let me know.
TYIA.

Ok. I guess I am rather surprised here. Have I missed something, or did the freda reader fall into disrepute?

As an update, I did find the sync with sky drive function, but it fails. It does show that it's ready to do a backup, but fails as quick as it starts.

Hi,

To answer your questions:
1) Freda hasn't fallen into disrepute - it's still being actively developed (by me). That said, the update last week has been a bit of a train-wreck, and inadvertently broke the SkyDrive connectivity. There is a new update in the pipeline which will fix this bug (in a few days I hope).
2) Freda does not provide the feature to let you upload books from your phone onto SkyDrive. The reason being that I did not want to create any possibility that someone might see Freda as 'a tool for ebook piracy'. Which would lead me into a world of legal and ethical troubles!

Thank you for your response.

Ok,
So no way to save my existing library so I can move it for use on my new phone.

I suppose my next question is---- will you ever make an android version? I cannot seem to find anything to let me get Internet Archive books.

All my Freda books are out of copyright, so piracy for me, per se, is a non-issue.

Sorry, no particular plans for an Android version. Freda is written in C#, and relies heavily on things like XAML and the .Net framework, so a port to Android would be a big task.
