Using BAM Reader 2

Transferring eBooks to BAM Reader 2

Many applications such as Dropbox support the Android "Open In" feature which allows you to easily transfer your eBooks between your computers and devices.

In the case of Dropbox, first upload your PDF or ePub files to your Dropbox account. This is an easy process and Dropbox has free tools that enable this for all major computer platforms. You will also need the free Dropbox Android App which is available from the Android Marketplace. Once you have installed it you can sign-in to your Dropbox account where you should be able to see your files.

BAM Reader 2 also supports an Import feature which allows you to import eBooks from the SD Card of your Android device. You will need to first mount your SD Card in order to write files onto it. Once the card is mounted, transfer your eBook files to /sdcard/BAMReader/imports and then unmount your SD card. Tap the the "Import from SD Card" button on the app's Info Panel to add the eBook to your BAM Reader 2 Library.

If you are transferring books to BAM Reader 2 that were previously downloaded with the original BAM Reader for iOS or with another reader such as Adobe Digital Editions or Bluefire Reader then those eBooks are now associated with the Adobe ID that was used to authorize them. Reading these eBooks in BAM Reader 2 is possible after merging your Adobe ID and BAM ID. See the Synchronize Accounts section.
