Thanks! That will get me most of the way there.
I guess that to distribute this as an app, I would then need to: Download the eBook and place it in the Kindle folder. Use an intent to launch Kindle with the filename. That would count on most people having Kindle installed or being patient enough to get it. I could also see about distributing an eBook through Amazon or other eBook channels. Putting an app that is essentially an eBook on Android Market makes sense if the target audience is android users, though. Nathan On Aug 16, 4:20 pm, RichardC <[email protected]> wrote: > 1.
