Kobo books on blackberry playbook

Everything works on my playbook except a book from Kobo I ordered and can't seem to open. I haven't had any problems in the past. I have downloaded books without a problem. This particular book started okay, but now it just won't open. Any suggestions?

have you tried a restart of 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.

Cannot Read Kobo Books Off Line

After no problems with Kobo on my Playbook for six months, I discovered that I can no longer read my Kobo books off line. I deleted then reloaded the Kobo app, downloaded all my (current) books again and reset dog ears on my current read. However, when I turnoff wireless or don't have internet service I can't access my Playbook loaded books. All I get is a white screen, bookmark symbol and a continuous rotating "loading" symbol..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This has happened to me too, which is a real pain. I have found that if I open KOBO when online in the morning and leave it on my library page and put the playbook onto standby, then I can leave home and get the train and open the book I am reading. But it only seems to work for a finite time which I haven't yet determined. After that I just get the endless whirling circle if I try to open a book.
KOBO were very helpful and the reply I got was that the App used to work until Blackberry upgraded to OS2. If you have OS2 the Kobo app needs to be online. They acknowledge that this renders their app useless for commuting readers with no wifi and say they are working with Blackberry to solve it. Perhaps we should all lobby BB, if only I could find out how to send them a message...

How to add my own pdf into "Kobo Books"?

Anyone knows how to add my own PDFs into "Kobo Books"?
The "Adobe Reader" in playbook doesn't have bookmark function.

Because the Adobe Reader pre-installed in Playbook doesn't have Bookmark function, while kobo has it.

Digital Editions for BlackBerry Playbook

Hi,
I tried to download Adobe Digital Editions for my playbook. But I later leaned that it's not compatible with Playbook.
Can somebody please let me know other way to check out books from public digital library for playbook.

There are two possible issues. One is whether the file is in .epub or .pdf format, the other is whether it has DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied to it.
It seems there are Blackberry apps for .epub files.
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/50823/?lang=en
http://forums.crackberry.com/playbook-apps-games-f243/best-epub-reader-726698/ talks about some. I don't know if the name crackberry means they are for a cracked Blackberry only.
Both these threads talk about NON-DRM .epub files.
There are lots of non-drm .epub files for download: including almost all classics that are out of copyright (try project Gutenberg).
Most bought books and library books have DRM applied.
I haven't seen anything that says you can read DRM books on the Blackberry.
There are hints one might be coming.
http://nerdberry.net/2012/10/23/adobe-drm-for-epub-now-supported-on-blackberry-playbook-ta blet-and-blackberry-10/
http://www.berryreview.com/2012/10/23/devs-adobe-reader-mobile-sdk-for-epub-drm-now-availa ble-for-playbook-blackberry-10/
I would avoid converting to .pdf for reading if at all possible.
pdf format files don't flow to match your screen size and chosen font size, and are a pain for anything apart from their original application in printing.

Question: reader app in Blackberry Playbook

In my Blackberry Playbook, to read a book:
How can I place a bookmark where I have left off so that it does not open to the beginning of the book each time I open the reader?
How can I change the size of the font? If you use the BB in the vertical (portrait) orientation, the print is too small to read comfortably.
Also, can I delete a book directly from the Playbook, or do I need to connect to the computer and delete the book after opening the file on the computer?
Thank you!

Bought app in order to sync itunes with a blackberry playbook. Now Itunes will open on my computer but when i plug my ipods in to charge or sync, itunes is not showing that they are plugged in. Cant charge or anything!

Obviously not too smart with all this technology. I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook. However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in. It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected! I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now? Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation? Please help!

HT204266 I am trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. I have OS 10.5.1 and it says I need OS 10.6. Is that a free update or do I have to purchase a new OS? I just want to load music on to the playbook.

Trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. It says I need OS6. Is that a free update or do I have to buy a whole new operating system? Just want to download some music to the playbook. Also, is it possible to use a iTunes card directly to the playbook and bypass the Mac? Thanks for any info you can provide.

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

"Unable to Open" PDF attachment using BlackBerry PlayBook when message is received from Exchange 03

Hello,
Recently I have found that some users are having an issue with opening PDF attachments on the BlackBerry PlayBook using their Exchange 2003 accounts.
I have isolated the issued to only users on Exchange 2003 using activesync.
To resolve/workaround you can select and hold the attachment until you have the option to "Open" or "Save As". Select "Save As" and rename the attachment to the same name but include .pdf at the end of the file name. This allow the attachment to open in Adobe and show the PDF document in the email message correctly.
Messages where being recieved as .null attachments with same file name but no extension.
Hope this helps anyone.

Only early days but still waiting on my BlackBerry PlayBook to be repaired after shutting down on me : (

Approximately 2 weeks ago my BlackBerry PlayBook shut down on me (after only one months of use). Anyhow, last Saturday (July 30th, 2012) I handed it back into Harvey Normans (the place where I purchased it from) for them to send it away to get repaired and the man that I gave it to said: "your tablet should be fixed in a week to a week and a half".
Anyhow, I rang them today and they said that my PlayBook was still at the Harvey Normans Office waiting for BlackBerry to come and pick it up (so much for the week to a week and a half)!! The other thing that the Harvey Normans lady said today was that repairs can be up to 4 weeks (well this is NOT what I was told when me and my girlfriend took it in to get sent away for repairs)!!
Anyhow, it is only early days yet but I just want my BlackBerry PlayBook fixed so I can start using it for work again like I always have!! It is soooo frustrating not having my BlackBerry PlayBook here especially seeing as I am so reliant on it for work purposes!! (I am even considering buying another PlayBook as a back-up but my girlfreind advised to just wait until my old one is fixed and go from there!! Anyhow, only time will tell how I go with the repair!!

I'm guessing the retailer forgot to call straight away - my PlayBook repair was swift when I dealt directly with RIM.

A total beginner with Blackberry Playbook

Hello
Someone got me a Blackberry Playbook, I certainly accepted the gift even though I wasn't sure what one of these was!
However since i got it, I am struggling to connect to wifi?> How can i fix this problem?. I have phoned up the support line which isnt much use,
I cant get past the connecting to wifi screen?
Without me sounding stupid.
Do you need to have this playbook plugged in at home near a computer?. Or is it portable? For example, can i take this round with me anywhere i go?
Or do i need to be near a wifi connection, totally confused havent got a clue whats going on
If anyone can help me (and boy i need help )> that would be great
If someone could also tell me how the playbook works what it does? i really dont have a clue!

Greetings and welcome to the community support forums!
Here are some links to help you setup and use your Playbook and learn more about it.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/tablets/playbook/get-started.html
That will help you connect to WiFi.
You don't need to be connected to a PC to use the Playbook, but if you need to be connected to the internet, you will need a Wifi connection, unless your model is a 4g model which connects over the air though a SIM card to your mobile network.
After reviewing the link above, come back and feel free to ask specific questions!

BlackBerry PlayBook and Internet Explorer?

I am a small business owner and Mac user. My business, however, uses a website that works only with Internet Explorer. In the past I have needed to have a small notebook PC in order to access the site and it is time to get a new computer.
I really would like to check out the new BlackBerry PlayBook and will definitely buy one tomorrow (or Tuesday?) IF it is possible to use IE on it! I really don't want to spend the money for a PC which would be used only for one purpose (I use my iMac for all other computer needs and my BlackBerry 9780 Bold for a phone. Microsoft stopped supporting Macs after version 5 or 6 of IE so that is the ONLY reason I have a PC.)
Oh please please PLEASE tell me that IE will be compatible with the new tablet!?
Anybody know? If not, might as well get an iPad -AND a new notebook PC -AND a new iMac, right?

Do you know why ? There are only two reasons:
either the website uses ActiveX scripts, and in that case you are out of luck
or the webmaster is simply lazy to convert the website to the W3 and ECMA standards, and in that case you can try and convince them. Once that is done, your website will work on any browser including Safari, Opera, MozillaFirefox and InternetExplorer.

Internet Explorer is currently available for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows Mobile, excluding all other operating systems.

Issues with Blackberry Playbook not being recognised by Windows Explorer

Hello, I'm new to the forums but am having the same problems as many others are, that being my Playbook not regonised by Windows Explorer. I have tried all of the solutions I have read like unistalling Desktop Manager, uninstalling then re-installing drives in Windows Device Manager. But one I recently stumbled across was uninstalling Blackberry Device Manager, how do I do this?
Also the main problem appears to be that my Playbook will not sync anything with my computer. In Desktop Manager I can back-up my Playbook, but not sync anything. After re-installing a drive I now get the message of: 'Your Blackberry device is not compatible with this feature' whereas before I got the message of: 'You haven't configured any sync methods' but yet all of the sync options were greyed out.
How do I get Windows Explorer to recognise my Playbook as a drive and how can I sync in Desktop Manager?
Thanks in advance!
Note: I'm using Windows 7 32-Bit

No Direct support for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet - why not I just bought it?

I've just bought a playbook. It says it comes with complimentary technical support for 90 days form the date of purchase. I have attempted to register the device using the S/N number as required and I get the following:
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however, get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion.
Why? grrrrrrrrrrrr

It should be. The complimentary support is just for help setting it up.
If you visit http://blackberry.com/support and follow the link for PlayBook you should get a phone number you can call, and RIM support will be able to help you.
