I'm surprised that the phone doesn't go to sleep after an interval of no activity even with an active reader's app, since user activity of some type would normally be required to keep the display On. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-55759930463142522852013-09-24T03:04:25.029-07:002013-09-24T03:04:25.029-07:00Anonymous (Sept 21 at 8:49pm)

I was on another project and forgot to check Comments area.<br /> Here is a google search-results listing for a <a href="http://bit.ly/k4android-uguide" rel="nofollow">user's guide for Kindle for Android</a>.<br /><br /> Hope that will help.

Currently I have it set to 1 minute, but I just experimented with the Kindle for Android and it seems to override that. Which makes sense, but I often go to sleep while reading, so it's good to be able to set that. Is there such an option, or a fuller user guide anywhere?<br />--<br />ZedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-52273454658024270062013-07-18T14:45:08.698-07:002013-07-18T14:45:08.698-07:00Ted, get an Android file manager like ES File Expl...Ted, get an Android file manager like ES File Explorer onto your Android tablet if you don't already use one.<br /><br /> Find your .azw or .mobi book and then copy and paste the title to "/sdcard/kindle" folder.<br /><br /> Even a pure PDF file can be read that way now too. I didn't have one of these files on my Samsung Android tablet, so I emailed from my laptop a PDF file to my [me]@kindle.com email address made (at <a href="http://amzn.to/manage-your-kindle" rel="nofollow">manageyourkindle</a> page for that tablet (which we register on that management page). My Samsung is a device there and is Kindle-compatible for their apps.<br /><br /> It'll keep a copy of the book file on the server to sync your reading, keep it in PDF FORMAT, and then the kindle for Android program will read it very well now.<br /><br /> If you want to convert the pdf to a Kindle format file, email it to that same kindle.com address for the tablet but this time put "Convert" in the subject line. <br /><br /> Nothing is needed in the body of the message in either case (although I put a period there just to have something in there so the program doesn't ask me about a blank message).<br /><br /> Both of these actions will send, first the pdf file to the Kindle file on the tablet and to the server area and then, for your second request, the pdf file CONVERTED this time to Kindle format, to the server and that tablet folder.<br />This conversion is usually done to use the Kindle book features on the converted file.<br /><br /> Hope that helps. I don't think there's a user file for it.

Actually they should just add support for 'Active Table of Contents' (NCX navigator) and I wouldn't miss the other thing.
