What is the best book reader for BlackBerry classic?

Is there a good book reader/app for BlackBerry classic? Hopefully one that has a good selection of books available too

i have searched there, but rather than try 20 out, i'd rather see what people like here.
the people on discussion boards generally have good taste.
and by best, i mean the best -- your favorite. obviously that encompasses a range of qualities to embody "the best."

Lenovo Natural Touch - e-book reader for Windows 8

I have used Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t before. I used to love the Lenovo's 'Natural Touch' program which was pre-installed on it with the e-book reader. I simply love its book shelf experience and ability to flip the pages of any pdf document.
Now I own a Lenovo Yoga 13 with Windows 8. I am really missing the e-book experience my Lenovo S10-3t gave me. I was wondering if Lenovo had any plans to release an pdf reader app with 3D page-flipping like 'Natural Touch', as a Lenovo Exclusive Windows 8?
If now, I would like to request you to consider doing that. Lenovo fans are going to love it for sure.
Thanks.

Hello,
If the software is available for download from Lenovo, have you tried installing it onto your Lenovo Yoga 13?

Finding a book reading for kids on apple tv

how do I find on apple tv the place where they read popular books like "the hungry little catapillor" what category is that in?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, there are no books for Apple TV, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

How do I get my Adobe Digital book read out loud.

I am disabled and need to use text to speech. I purchased an ebook which is an Adobe Digital Edition. I have really enjoyed using Adobe Reader with the Read Out Loud feature and was shocked when I discovered I could not use this feature on the Digital Editions. If I knew Adobe cared so little about the disabled I would sought the book in a different format.
Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to be able to get this expensive book read for me?

I do not know quite what you mean by "paid for them to transfer all my data and programs over"... I'm hoping you are not implying that you simply copied (had copied) programs from your application folder to your new computer.
You still need to go through the installation process to install Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

C7 e-book reader?

Is there an e-book reader for the C7? There's one on ovi (Mbooks) but it has terrible reviews. Mobipocket doesn't support Symbian3. Currently I want to read something on Project Gutenberg which can be downloaded as html, so will try that, but it would be good to have a proper reader. Any ideas?

I've been using Dorian but it only does epub. There are many readers you can get for your PC that read epub, try Calibre.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given your short description, I cannot tell exactly the method you are attempting to use...there are several. OTA on the device? Direct with Desktop Software? USB connected using the RIM update website? Loader.exe? BBSAK? Some other method?
Nevertheless, I recommend this method. At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. Please use those as reference as you proceed.
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Swype for Torch 9860

I was wondering if Blackberry app developers were looking into adding Swype feature for torch 9860 since its the only completely touch screen phone avaliable, in fact I'm suprised the feature didn't come pre-installed..Blackberry update developers should please add it to an update software for Torch 9860...it is a great phone but that feature or even an app would make the phone better..thank you

Torch 9860 - Problem with wifi network

Hi,
I have a BB Torch 9860 and the internet access doesn´t work properly when connected to a wifi connection.
With my carrier data plan, everything works. Every time i connecto to a wifi connection, the internet access stops working. I tried to clean all registered networks, added new networks, everything i can remember of, but nothing works. The only way to get internet access on my phone, is with the carrier´s data plan.
Is this some kind of bug or software block?
I serched through the forum, and tried some of the solutions and sugestions, but nothing works.
The only satisfied part with this purchase so far is my carrier who seems to be very happy with the access through their data plan!
Can anyone give me a hand on this subject?
Thanks,
Rui

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Not knowing what you already found and attempted, we risk redundancy...nevertheless, with that risk...
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support. In very rare cases, I have heard of carriers blocking the use of BIS via WiFi...but only they (your carrier) can answer as to if that is what they are doing.
Oh...wait...another though...a bit of a wild one...please check this:
Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
If you have an IT Policy and are on BES, then talk to your BES admins about if they may perhaps be blocking this. If you have an IT Policy but are not on BES, then you have much bigger problems to deal with...you will need to backup your device, conduct a ResetToFactory, and then restore your device (but ONLY partial...do not do a full restore or it will put the IT Policy back on and you'll be right back where you started).

BB Torch 9860 Hangs during booting

I bought a BB Torch 9860 a week back. Yesterday night the handset got switched off as the battery had exhausted. In the morning when I was trying to switch it on it was not coming on. I put on charging, there was no indication of charging for some time then it started booting. The booting indicator (the line which indicates that the handset is being booted) went half way and stopped. The system did not respond to switch off button. The battery was removed and put back to restart. Every time it boots to half line and hangs. Would request someone to extend help please.
Regards, Tom

Hey thomas_k_s,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

BlackBerry Presenter + Torch 9860 = World of Pain

BlackBerry Presenter. Nice idea, eh?
Who wouldn't want to save the weight of lugging a PC around when a handheld would do the job? [Except that it doesn't.] Amazon details say Torch 9860 is supported. OS version needs to be above 4.6. Mine is v7.0; I duly shell out money. Box arrives a few days later.
Honeymoon Period
Power up the Presenter, look at all the pretty lights. Download & install the desktop software. Connect the Presenter, update the firmware. What next? Oh yes, follow the email link to install the handheld software and we'll be away. But wait! What is this? An error message:
"Your device is not supported. Go away." *
Honeymoon Over
Oh, OK, I'll find a spare weekend morning to do the v7.1 OS upgrade. Sparkly new features. (Well, 1 of them is useful and if there are some patches to the unresponsive screen issues then maybe this investement in free time will be worth it). Now I have v7.1 installed, let's follow the link....
"Your device is not supported. Why are you persisting with this?" *
Lot's of web searching. Idle hours spent on the utterly useless and inappropriately named "Knowledge Base". Presenter doesn't support the Torch. Presenter does support all devices above 4.6. Presenter should not be used in the bath. Skiing whilst using the Presenter is not advised. Problems with your love life caused by prolonged use of the web site are not the responsibility of RIM or its employees. *
Aha! A deep link into BlackBerry.com to the actual software for the 9860 (supported).
“Error 404a – This page no longer exists and now you’re trying to be clever. You again? Your DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED whatever it is! Give up! Go away!” *
OK. Back the retailer. The trusty Sale of Goods act will swing my retailer into action on my behalf. Amazon respond at the speed of light or thereabouts: here are contact numbers for RIM in the UK, links to specific support and an email address. It's a tech problem, they'll help. Sorry you’re having problems. All the best, etc *
Follow the links. Find myself back at the Knowledge Base, again in search of enlightenment. Hmmm. Try the (non-freephone) telephone number. "Press 1 if you are a distributor, press 2 if you have a support account, 3 if you have no life or 4 to be sent around interminable links of our automated system until you lose the will to live" * I select 4 and due to a fault in the system find myself speaking to a sleepy but well-meaning chap in America. He is determined to help me. After some time trying to establish what strange BlackBerry device this is I have bought ("Yes, Presenter. P-R-E-S-E-N-T-E-R. P for Papa, R Romeo, E Echo" - you get the drift) he (politely) explains in the way that only a twenty something graduate can that this device isn't actually made by RIM, it's from a 3rd Party ("That's kinda like another company that we use to like do stuff for us..." *) and therefore there is not much information in his KnowledgeBase about it. "Can you try this link, sir?". Oh whoopee. We're back in the user manual. Yes, I can try following a link to App World. No, I can't find the app there any more either. My helpful assistant eventually gives up when I decline paid support, and gives me an email address to which to send my problem and advises me to see my network provider. This email turns out to be for their “Idea Processing” department. The automated response asks me to sign a confidentiality agreement before sharing my ideas on how the product may be improved. I decline, life being too short to pursue this line of attack.
Network Provider (Vodafone) is ridiculously helpful in the circumstances. They can't get it to work on a 9860 or a Bold 9900 either. They photograph the same error I have on the chance it will help BlackBerry chase down the problem.
Back to Amazon. “Thanks for copying your email to BlackBerry, We’re really, really sorry this is not turning out to be fun. Here’s the contact details of the 3rd party who actually supplied this item to you. Lot’s of love, Amazon. *”
Aha! This will be a fully accredited RIM partner with exclusive access to their limitless training resources. I am only seconds away from “Oh – you need this new version of the handheld software!”
But…no.
“Dear Sir, I'm sorry for this issue. I never used this presenter myselft [sic] so I can't really help you. I'm fine to refund this order for you.”
Me: “Can you contact BlackBerry and establish the root cause of the problem before I give up?”
Them: “I’m sorry I didn’t as it’s nightmare to get in touch with any manufacture.”[sic] It’s good to see that basic communication skills are still being tort at skool.
Penultimate Episode:
Let’s try the 1 person in BlackBerry with whom I have previously corresponded (regarding integration of BES with Office 365 but you never know). “Thank you for contacting BlackBerry. We will respond shortly.” + 1 week: Me: “Any progress on this?” “Thank you for contacting BlackBerry. Your email has not been delivered. Please consult the Knowledge Base”.
Final Episode:
Rant on the forum. Before I take the Presented and smash it with a club hammer, maybe someone who designed the Presenter will read this. Or even Sting’s lawyers:
I’ll send my SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my (x3)
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
I’m sending out an SOS, sending out an SOS. (repeat until fade)

Need help on how to re-install/wipe OS on my BB Torch 9860

Can anyone in the house please give me a breakdown on how I can wipe completely my blackberry torch 9860 device and re-install a new OS without any fuss, thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To WIPE, it all depends on exactly what level of cleansing you wish to do...refer:
Article ID: KB16307 Actions performed by the BlackBerry smartphone during the removal of stored user and application data
As for OS reloading, the simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Hi salmaatty
Have you recently installed any application before this Problem started ? Think carefully any new application , theme , wallpaper or any recent app update !
If you have then try to boot your device on Safe Mode , On Safe Mode delete any application which you think might be responsible for this issue , from Options > Device > Application Manegement > locate and delete any newly installed 3rd party application , it might help in resolving your issue :
KB17877 : How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
KB10040 : How to view or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone
However .. If above fails or you're unable to boot your device on Safe mode then to recover your device you have to reload your OS , Try this method to load the OS again :

Torch 9860 sometimes goes silent

Hi,
My wife has a BB torch 9860, and I have updated the os to 7.1.0.523( 7.1 release 1646) from the earlier 7.0 version. Since this update , some times it gets silent, means when we receive a call , the phone does not ring. All the volume and sound alerts setting are ok, but the phone wont ring.
How can I solve this ?.
Thanks in Advance
