Ereading on playbook - orientation

Just got my playbook today and never had a tablet before so please be gentle with me!
I want to know how to have the ebook change orientation when I turn the playbook. Currenlty the books only display horizontally but I thought it should be automatic to change the orientation when I turn the playbook vertically (apparently not). Is there someway to change the display?
I have a Sony Reader and I'm used to reading the books in a vertical format....any help is appreciated on how to do this.

I used Kobo app that came with playbook. I have a Sony Reader and already have lots ot books downloaded either from Sony or Kobo.
I am, however, unclear if the books I'm seeing as part of my Kobo library are ON the playbook now OR if they only work when I log in to Kobo.
I have the books on my computer hardrive....is this something I can upload to the playbook through USB connection and then have them on the playbook permanently?

Different os for ereading on playbook?

hey, the playbook doesn't have enough battery life to make it a practical replacement for a book for people who travel away from outlets. however, the kobo ereader will go for weeks without a charge. what if there was a second boot option that only ran the reader with striped down graphics, no sound, ect.... that way it could be good for days of reading excitement!!

Wow, mine might consume 2-3% an hour with Wifi ON and Bluetooth ON, and NO other activity... in sleep mode.
Anyway, hundreds of hours... certain an interesting suggestion!
Good luck.

Kobo eReading App stopped working?

Greetings, could someone explain to me why the pre-installed Kobo eReading app stopped working on my Blackberry Playbook? I was enjoying the app and had purchased several books that are now missing from my library. It stopped working five days ago since then I have sent two messages to Kobo customer service but have not received a reply. There is nothing mentioned on the Kobo website about this problem either. This is very frustrating!

There is a prior thread about this.
Please search the boards prior to posting.

Playbook - best eBook DRM solution please

We have a Sony eReader, and I would very much like to share the books. What is the best eBook option for the Playbook? Can I access Adobe DRM epub books?

So is this too tricky at the moment?
Kobo seems to have it.
Overdrive has it for library downloads.
Can one use an android app?
Surely this is key functionality?

E pub books on BB Playbook

Moved a collection of epub books to playbook successfully. Cannot find or view them in playbook. Cannot find an app that will read epub. Any suggestions?

You can't do that on the Playbook. The Kobo reader app is the only app that will read epub files and it only reads epub files purchased from Kobo.
You'll have to wait until either Kobo allows us to read other epub files or another ereader app is written for the Playbook.

Using Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe Content Viewer on Blackberry Playbook

Hello, we have a Kobo eReader and a Blackberry Playbook. We would like to sign out eBooks from our library but are having challenges. We seem to be able to download the eBooks to the Kobo eReader, but can't seem to get the same connectivity with the Playbook. The ADE will not recognize the Playbook as a separate computer so I can't authorize that device. I found Adobe Content Viewer on Blackberry World and it is supposed to interact with digital documents. I have tried to sign in with my Adobe ID on it and it will not recognize ID/Password although I can log in here just fine. Some help here would be appreciated.

Try Overdrive app http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=180
You should be able to borrow, download and read library books on the Blackberry without using ADE at all.
I haven't tried it, but look into the Aldiko app http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=181
That page also mentioned Moon+ http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=182
I use Bluefire, but not sure if it is available on Blackberry.

Ereader

Hi
I still new to my playbook can anyone help I have a Sony ereader with book that I want to transfer to my playbook I also have a back copies on my laptop.
So how do I transfer my books from my laptop to my playbook do I need an app which one would be the best to use and is this even possible I thought it be so simple.
Thanks in advance

It depends on two things. File format (eg EPUB) and if the ebook is protected by DRM.
If you are lucky and it's a drm free epub then a paid for app like Book Reader for Epub and Kindle for 99 cents or 75 pence will do it. The app supports several formats.
Drag book to any folder in playbook (eg Books folder) using PC to Playbook file sharing, then follow the instructions in the book reader app.
File sharing....

Official PlayBook OS v2.0.1.668 Announcement and Breathing Life back into a Dead Battery

Where is it?!
Well, you can go to the software update page and discover that the only thing RIM indicates the update does is provide a security update for the Adobe Flash player,
http://ca.blackberry.com/support/tablets/playbook/software-updates.html
The details can be found here.
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?externalId=KB31675&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&d...
That said, it would appear speculation related to wifi and browser improvements (among other things) is very subjective and likely as varied as individual user experience. Here’s a quote from a Crackberry News & Rumours Post
http://crackberry.com/whats-new-playbook-os-201668
Frankly, this sort of commentary drives me crazy. What company would make the kind of improvements identified above without documenting them for their existing and future customers, if they were real. Is it that we're all so desperate for good news from RIM that we have to make it up? If anyone can find anything official behind the article's claims, feel free to post a link in response.
A couple things do still confuse me though. Some users are claiming that the new OS v2.0.1.668 version has been pulled. My Playbook upgraded to this update without any issue on the first try. Didn't take hours and the whole process seemed quite normal. Smooth as molasses.
Didn't notice anything weird at all until last evening, a few days after the upgrade. I pulled off the charger cable and looked at the battery and it was 0%, dead as a door nail. Perhaps the magnetic head of the fast charger wasn't seated properly. I turned off the Playbook and then attached the fast charger. Left it alone and went back about an hour later and it was still at 0%! It was acting like it was still losing charge and getting weaker. This is not typically the case, so I shut down wifi, turned off backlighting, put it into airplane mode and tried again. No change when I checked back later. At some points, I couldn't even get it to boot to the main screen, just battery empty symbol, at best.
I read on this and other forums how others were having problems after teh update. Erasing their Playbook and reloading OS. I couldn't even do that, because the Playbook has to have enough power to update the software through the Desktop. While I could connect and see the device via Desktop, there wasn't enough juice to do anything at 0%. It seemed that there were folks holding the battery button for 10-20 seconds claiming that worked, but it didn't do anything for me.
To say the least, I was getting pretty ticked off after reading the forum and discovering that the battery issue I was dealing with might be related to a pulled OS upgrade that had screwed my Playbook. Proper QA and testing should preventthis sort of blunder. Even more ticked, if the update has been pulled and RIM has not made any official statement that I can find to that effect! If they have pulled it (which I still haven't been able to personally confirm), this information should be publically available and explained. The one thing they need to do is look after any loyal customers they still have left. Personally, I have loved my playbook, although RIM has definitely botched a great piece of hardware with inadequate software enhancements to the OS, that continues to this day. The fact that we still can't categorize browser favorites in folders at this point is inexcusable. Anyway, I digress.
Back to the battery. Here's what I did after about two hours of snarling and becoming increasingly frustrated with my dead playbook and not being able to find any way to breathe life back into it. I remembered what happens to my rechargeable batteries for my xbox controllers when they drain dead. They simply won't charge. They become un-rechargeable. I eventually figured out via an obscure internet posting, what no retail clerk or xbox support person seemed to know. I returned more than my share of brand new unrechargeable batteries, because they wouldn't charge when drained. This is what I discovered. You take the dead controller with battery and connect it to the charging cable. It lights red... but after 13 seconds it goes green. If you leave it connected it simply will not charge. Originally, I concluded I had a faulty battery that would not recharge. Not so. You must pull the cable off. Light goes out, connect it again. Light goes red, 13 seconds turns green. Pull the cable off. Light goes out, connect it again. Light goes red, 13 seconds turns green. Pull the cable off. Light goes out, connect it again. Light goes red, 13 seconds turns green. Pull the cable off. Repeat until you figure there is no point to this exercise, and then do it one more time. Pull the cable off. Light goes out, connect it again. Light goes red, 13 seconds later it stays red and doesn't go green, it stays red. Might be the 5th try, 20th try, 30th try, who knows, but eventually the xbox controller light will actually stay red and not switch to green and will then recharge. It's almost like each previous failed connection provides a bit more juice to the battery, until it has enough to finally be rechargeable again. Come back in a couple hours and what appeared to be an unrechargeable battery is fully charged.
So I took my Playbook, Turned it off. Connected cable. Light turned red, then turned green. Disconnected cable. Held power button to shut playbook off. Connected cable. Light turned red, then turned green. Disconnected cable. Held power button to shut playbook off. Connected cable. Light turned red, then turned green. Disconnected cable. Held power button to shut playbook off. Connected cable. Light turned red, then turned green. Disconnected cable. Held power button to shut playbook off. Not sure how many times I went through this painful exercise. Maybe 15-20. Maybe I only needed to do it 5 or 10times. Maybe I didn't need to do it at all.
Frankly, in the course of doing it, it seemed like I was almost draining the battery more. I think there was a point where it almost was dead and wouldn't even light up. That had me spooked. By pressing and holding the on button and connecting the cable, I somehow got the red light to come on, then switch to green and it began pulsating. At this point, I didn't want to push my luck. Left it alone and went to bed. Got up this morning and it was alive and 100% charged. It went into an automatic reboot. The wifi password had to be re-entered and saved in order to get connected back to the internet, but everything else seemed to be fine.
I’ve used it solid for one hour and the battery dropped to 80%. This felt like a much faster drop than in the past. It's been in standby mode for an additional two and a half hours since and it is now at 60%. I never shut my PlayBook off. I keep mine in standby all day, with the screen on lowest brightness and wifi typically on. Do I think that the latest update has had an impact on battery life? Well, my Playbook originally died and ran out of charge, when I had it attached to the fast charger! Can't explain that right now. I suppose I could have improperly connected via the magnet and this was my own user error. Could be just coincidental that this happened to me after the update and at the same time others are complaining about battery issues. Personally, it does “feel” like my Playbook is draining faster in standby mode than it has in the past. I have my eye on this and if it goes dead again, I'll repost. Obviously, my recharging "technique" worked for me, so if it helps breathe life back into your battery dead playbook, I'd be interested to know.
If RIM has actually pulled the update and not updated their own web site to reflect a battery issue and not officially disclosed a known problem to their customers it would be at best totally unprofessional and at worst inexcusable. I'm still not sure what to make of everyone's comments and issues, when RIM still lists the v2.0.1.668 update on their corporate page.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

RIM exec Michael Clewley confirm that 668 was pulled because it has upgrading issues with Playbook with OS 1.0.7 --- and that is the ONLY reason why it was pulled.

My BB Playbook doesn't charge and turn on. Nothing can solve this problem. Please help!!!!

Hi everybody!
My BB playbook doesn't charge and turn on.
When I tried to charge it, at first ,the red color appears for 10 seconds and after the green color starts blinking several times. And that's all. Every time when I am charging it the same thing is repeating. What should I do in this case???
If someone knows how to solve this issue please HELP!

Hey LM344,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you're receiving the flashing green LED light, it sounds like the BlackBerry PlayBook battery is completely drained. I suggest plugged the BlackBerry PlayBook into the wall charger for several hours to get a charge again.
Let me know if the issue still persists after charging it after several hours.
Cheers.

Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2) when trying to sign in to new playbook

I get the message "Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2)" when I try to login to the Blackberry ID page of a new playbook during initial setup. This prevents me from continuing and using my device. A similar error message appears when I tap "Forgot password?" which is An unknown error has occured. Please try again (-2)
I have tried what others have done when they have unknown error (-6) which is turn off playbook and plug into desktop manager then update to reflash, but I continue to get the same error.
I know my BB ID username and password are correct because I can login to the web with them. Not sure what to do next.

Just to test the simple things first, did you try to sign in using another credential?
If only yours fails, then is a RIM issue, otherwise is indeed your Playbook failure.

Playbook data wiped out!...

I am here not to improve anything -- BlackBerry! I am here to perhaps save someone from what happened to me today.
It is my back up day of the month. I connected my Playbook to my PC. Cannot connect! I thought that perhaps this is because I have upgraded to Windows 8 and now the desktop software is not fully compatible with the new OS! BB Desktop offered me to repair... Of course, why not, that is the normal thing we all expect in that situation. I need to back up! And without a connection, I cannot back up all the notes I took so far at work and videos of my ever quickly growing 3.5 year old son!
Process started! Than asked me to update my operating system, that is also expected and nothing out of the ordinary -- I said "yes" to UPDATE! It said that it may take an hour or so! "I have time" I thought to myself! At the end of the waiting, it started to teach me how to use my Playbook. My heart started racing. It cannot be! I didn't see any warnings that my system was about to be wiped out to factory clean state!. Before I touched anything, I called the technical support. The poor guy confirmed my fears. My pictures, notes, videos, even the sound recordings of the consultation I had with a lawyer recently for which I've paid hundreds of dollars is gone!. Why did I record the conversation? Ironically -- So that it would cost less if I spent less time recording instead of taking notes hence cost less! I don't know what else I have lost but now I have to go around the surrounding cities to my customer sites to take all those pictures of the service equipment again which I have lost.
To summarize what we have here:
1. Repair didn't mean repair, it meant replace,
2. Every software company ask gazillion times if you are sure that you want to wipe out all your data, RIM doesn't follow those conventional s..t for some reason I, for the life of me don't understand why,
3. Process doesn't give the user a chance to back up his/her data. Why? I d o n ' t k n o w!!!...
4. A company like RIM who started making things for seripous customers -- businesses, where the risks to RIM's own business is very high don't have a f..ing quality system such as ISO that costs nothing to implement or they have it but implemented it the way they implement their installation/maintenance procedures.
5. Support person was extremely nice but when I told him that he should step on the breaks, do something, pull the alarm cord, do whatever it takes to save the unexpecting people behind me, he said that he cannot do anything!!! Go figure the company culture and its creators. Where are these people coming from to become managers at BlackBerry?
This is it for me. I am sick of waiting and hoping and being optimistic about this Canadian success story to turn around. Everything they make or do lacks something. I am done! I will make sure everyone around me is also done with them. If you cannot run a successful company with all that money, all these brains that you have hired and can hire, you have to be an **bleep** to fail. You have been failing since the Bold 9000, perhaps even before! By the way, I have been in IT business since 1992. I don't need lecturing about any of these - I know how everything works and what the problem is in your caves.

I feel you pain. This situation has happened to a few people. I am sure that this particular problem will be eliminated soon, hopefully with the upgrade when the PlayBook gets the full OS10 upgrade later this year. Reminds me of the time back in the early nineties when my oldest son spent a whole day on an assignment without saving it, only to receive the Blue Screen of Death with Win 3.1 late in the day.

Playbook crashes network when using 80211N networks

Hi. I am having issue getting my PB to work correctly on 80211N networks. I have tried with both a generic DLink router and a brand new LinksysWRT310 router. My configuration is Siemens SE567 Modem/Router with an uplink to my Wifi/Lan network. When I am running Mixed mode (B/G/N) all my other devices have been working flawlessly. As soon as I put the PB into the mix, it causes outages across the network and begins dropping constantly. Impossible to use. If I throttle it back to mixed (B/G) there are no more issues.
Things I have tried:
Delete connection competely and reset manually (i.e. setup fixed IP and gateway)
Tried WPS on Router and PB.
Tried downshifting from WPA2/Personal to WPA/Personal
Throttling MTU down to 1356 from 1500, and Changed the beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306
Turned off Wifi firewall
None of these has resulted in any greater stability.
Here is a copy of my logs trying to use the N connection. Any assistance is appreciated.

Sorry, I can't tell help you. You seemed to have done all the correct steps. There have been other posters having the same problem as you with 802n. You can do a search to see if you can find the post. You might also check out crackberry.com. In looking over your log, it looks like authentication failure. I have found that to usually mean there is a miss match of settings when setting the security protocols. In other words there may be a protocol you are using with 802n that will not work with your system. If you change that protocol setting if you have a choice, it may work. If you do have success, report back as to what you found.

Backing Up and Restoring the PlayBook

Ok, I've been playing around with Backing Up, Wiping, then Restoring the PlayBook and things don't seem to be functioning as smoothly as I would assume they should. My primary concern is that the data from the Contacts and Calendar programs are not getting restored and the setup information for any Email Accounts is also lost. The data from two third party Apps: Groovy Notes and The Vault is being restored no problem.
ADDED NOTE: The Stock Wallpapers and HD Video Demo have also gone missing.
THE PARTICULARS:
- On a Windows 7 Pro box running BlackBerry Desktop 7.1
- 64 GB Wifi PlayBook running OS 2.0.1.668
- Options set to FULL BACKUP (nothing else)
- using a USB cable and connection
Other behavior that might, or might not be related:
- I did a switch device from 64 GB Wifi to 4G LTE model and the same data was missing
- the BB Desktop 7.1 software can't seem to accommodate more then one PlayBook at a time, meaning that if I Sync or backup one tablet, then attaching the other tablet via the USB cable will cause the device listing of the previous tablet to disappear. It's like it won't allow me to have more then one tablet as a listed device.
Thanks, Rob

"nothing changed" as in it didn't restore the deleted entries?
What I'm thinking is that the desktop software is designed more for BB phones and that there is such a difference in the Contacts and Calendar apps from the phone to the PlayBook (the PlayBooks apps being much more complex and interconnected) that the Desktop isn't equipped to properly backup the PlayBook, so it doesn't. If this is the case, then they should:
1) let people know, because many may think they have a nice safe backup of what could potentially be a very large and valuable chunk of data, when they actually don't.
2) Get working on an update of their Desktop software that properly handles the PlayBook - which they probably are, I would hope.
But all of this is just conjecture on my part, since nobody has responded to my query yet, other then you that is.

Returning playbook for repair

Can someone tell me what is an RMA - and where the heck do I find it? Trying to return my nearly new playbook for repair and have had nothing but headaches.
Thanks,

RMA, Return Manufacture Authorization, or something like that. It basically authorizes your return of the device.
Call your PlayBook support number and go over the issue with the support tech and they issue the RMA.
